Trails range from fair to very good condtion. Warm temps last week did melt some snow and created some wet spots. Club members have been out marking those areas to keep the riders safe. All trails are being groomed daily.

Bridge was ruff for a few days and now is in good condtion. Fresh snow has made the trails even better. Cold temps are keeping the snow. There is snow on all the area trails! — North Country Snowmobile Club

Snow continues in our forecast. We’ve had from four to five feet of snow so far on the western end and Lake Gogebic area-more in some places, less in others. After a long spell of single digits, a mild weekend will be welcome, then back to the wintery teens on Monday.

Gogebic Range Trail Authority Groomers, on the far western end, and Gogebic Area Groomers in the Lake Gogebic Area are all out doing their thing. We’re getting a lot of good reports from riders. Trails 2 and 8 are groomed and good although you’ll still find a few wet spots. Trails 11N- 11S and 160 will open Monday, December 15th.

Lake Gogebic groomers report Trails 13 N, 102, 1 North of Bergland, 8E and 8W are alll in good condition.

Trail 8 just north of Bergland has been re-routed…it is being brushed, signed and groomed, Please watch for workers in that area.

Watersmeet will let us know when they can get their groomers out on trails.
