ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Roxey's Bar & Grill >> ❄️ Ontonagon County Winter Update – January 27, 2025 ❄️ LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Sunday evening report from Bergland Area Groomer's 1/26/25. Currently 26° with an Winter advisory for a clipper system today/ tonight. Trail's covered 102, 13n, 8w and 1n. 8w was pretty bad again but groomed out nicely. Anytime we get fresh snow and heavy traffic it's always going to get whooped out. 1n was cut down the night previous to try and get the mogul situation cured. 102 hasn't been horrible besides the hard curves that berm up and freeze in. 13n the same. We're in weekday mode now, where traffic should slow down a little bit and allow us to get all trails back in order and give us time do some maintenance on our machines.. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Gusts up to 55 mph are possible in the Keweenaw this morning. A cold front will move through later this afternoon into this evening. This will bring a brief period of heavy snow and low visibilities with blowing and drifting snow leading to a period of hazardous driving conditions. Lakeshore flooding is also possible in the Keweenaw as well as Alger and Luce Counties. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #newberry #soo #straitsareaGusts up to 55 mph are possible in the Keweenaw this morning.

Groomers will be going this afternoon and evening on trail 2 and 8. Be safe, ride right.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Hazards: A quick hitting 1-2” of snow is expected along this front. Gusty winds will create very low visibility in the heaviest showers. Roads will quickly become snow covered, and falling temperatures behind the front will also create slippery road conditions where melting snow occurred today. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThrough this evening: A line of heavy snow showers marches south across the UP along a cold front.

Snow was a little easier to cut into and work with tonight which hopefully helps getting some of these monster moguls and 3' berms cut down. 1n to White Pine is a disaster!!
I think you all are dropping half sticks every 10' to make us work harder! 😆 We'll keep plugging along doing what we do. Traffic is high. Best ride is early morning, then come back and support the local businesses in the afternoon and evening. Thanks everyone. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
