Newberry Trail Report – Visit Newberry – 02/04

Please be careful around curves. The weather has cooled down and there is some ice around the curves. We have had alot of snow north over the weekend and the trails are great. Come up and have some fun!!!

Trail #9 north is in great condition. The base is 8-10 inches and riders are reporting very good riding conditions, We have had more snow in this area and trails are great for riding. Be carful on the straight away between M-123 and 3 mile staging area, mogals form there quick depending on how many sleds go over it. The groomer will be out between 2:00 P.M. and 4:00A.M.

Trail #45 North is in great shape with a 8-10 inch base, but, there are 2 logging areas on it. One north, and one south, of the Skyline Trail Head. It is plowed and can be rough at times. The trail from Co. Rd. 500 to the Falls is in good shape. The groomer will out between 4:00 P.M. and 1:00 A.M.

Trail #9 south to Hemlock Ridge road (trail 2) has a 0 -4 inch base and is in good condition.

Trail #2 From the Naubinway split to Rexton is in fair condition with up to a 3 inch base.

Trail #473 has about 7 miles of plowed road from Rexton south to Epoufette due to logging in the area. Please watch for trucks and deer in the area. The base is marginal to 3 inches and in fair condition.

Trail #473 Rexton to Trout lake is in poor condition and but is being groomed today, we are going all the way through to Trout Lake The groomer will be out between 9:00 A.m. and Midnight

Town trails are open and in good condition with a 3-5 inch base.

*Please remember our groomers are out daily to keep the trails in the best shape they can be for your riding pleasure. Please keep a safe distance from the groomer if possible.*

Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 02/04

A little more fluffy snow has everything brighter & whiter. The best two months of winter begins NOW! Season Snowfall to date is 134.6". Looks like this week is offering up some great riding.
Gogebic Range Trail Authority: Groomers are out both day and night getting the trails back into shape. All trails being groomed including 2-8-160-11N and 11S. Overall conditions Good-some very good, some fair.
From the Lake Gogebic Area-Groomers are all out double grooming all trails.. trails good to very good.
Watersmeet groomers are out and reporting trails are solid and conditions are fair to good.
And here’s some good news for our Trail 2 East riders-the Marenisco Mini Mart is open and gas is again available there.
IN ALL AREAS:
Keep in mind the groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, and PLEASE pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.
The time you spend riding in Big Snow Country is all about lots of fun and a great time…therefore, your safety is our #1 priority.

ICE: Let us reiterate, there is no such thing as "safe" ice.
If you choose to ride on a body of water, be sure you check with locals in the specific area you intend to ride and get current information on conditions in that area. When you ride on ice, you are doing so at your own risk.

SIGN VANDALISM RESULTING IN SERIOUS SITUATION
Expect to see more patrols on the trails due to a recent rash of sign vandalism incidents…we’re hearing cameras also may be enlisted in order to apprehend those responsible. If you see any suspicious activity, please call the DNR at 800-292-7800.
