“OH BOY” – TRAIL UPDATE – Lake Gogebic Area

Gogebic Area Groomers certainly have their work cut out for them! With 3 feet of snow in a very short span and soft ground underneath, progress is being made — but slowly and safely. This wet, heavy snow has created challenges and hazards throughout our section of the trail system.

At this time, conditions remain hazardous and riding is not recommended until groomers have been able to run machines through each trail segment. Water holes are beginning to form in swampy stretches from crews packing in snow.

Groomers are incredibly grateful for everyone’s willingness to help — but if a section hasn’t been panned, please stay off. Snow depths are inconsistent and very deep in places — even stepping out of a groomer means hip-deep snow in some spots!

When additional help is needed, Gogebic Area Grooming will post it.

AJ’s Lodge and The Timbers are offering complimentary lodging for volunteers able to assist when called upon. For updates and needs, please monitor the Gogebic Area Grooming Facebook page. AJ’s Oven will open this Friday for food.

Lake Gogebic Area Trail Progress

Trail 8E to East Shore Road: All gates opened. Still very challenging — two machines heading out Friday to continue work.
Trail 13N to M-28: Fully cleared and all gates opened.
Corridor to Trail 1 North, and Trail 1 North up to swamp area before M-64 crossing: Opened up.
Trail 1 North — Bergland to White Pine: Passable.
Trail 1 — from Marenisco:
Northward: Impassable beyond west end of FR 8800.
• Southward toward Presque Isle: About half completed, impassable beyond Job Corps Rd.
Trail 102: Groomers continuing to push through corridor — today’s focus.
Trail 2: East/West travel is open and panned — use caution, early season obstacles despite heavy snow.
Trail 100: Currently impassable — work to begin soon.
Marenisco Crew Update: Focused on clearing major obstructions to get a drag through and build a base. Once that’s complete, they’ll need help from fellow sledheads — bring a small saw to remove remaining minor hazards.

We’ll continue to share updates — thank you for your patience, respect, and support of the teams working tirelessly to get this season rolling safely! ❄️🛷🌲

We received a good snowfall during Thanksgiving week but it unfortunately caused a lot of trail clean-up. The Boulder Junction Snowmobile club is currently working very hard to clear fallen trees and other debris from the trails so we can get the groomer out. Keep your fingers crossed for trail openings soon and if you get a chance to thank the club, they deserve it for all the hard work they’ve been putting in. See you on the trails!

Snowmobile Information:

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS ARE CLOSED. VILAS COUNTY TRAILS CAN NEVER OPEN BEFORE DECEMBER 15. There, I said it. I guess an angry mob stormed president Keith’s house after my last flowery report, with their torches and pitchforks, demanding the trails open, since the man on the trail got them all worked up. After Keith calmed them down, and they left, he discovered they scared his wife so bad she locked him out on the deck, and turned up the volume to Wheel of Fortune. Fear has a different effect on each of us, I guess. On a serious note, we do have some great snow, but the initial snows were wet, and heavy. We have a lot of downed trees. We are sending out damage control teams today, Tuesday, and tomorrow, Wednesday. If we are able to get our bushwhackin’ done, we are putting together a crew to help our good friends Mercer Sno-Goers. (I also belong to Mercer Club.) Great people. The only way we get great trails is by a lot of volunteer time, and covering each others backs. If you don’t belong to a club, please join one. If you can help, please do. It is great exercise, and the more hands we have, the faster it goes. Plus, we have fun. Or, consider a donation. Grooming funds only help cover a part of operating expenses, the rest comes from fundraising and donations. So don’t have short arms and deep pockets, dig out a few drachma for the team. I will try and update later in the week. Mark

SNO-EAGLES
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
ARE CLOSED

Gun Deer Season ends today at dusk. Clubs in Vilas to include Sno-Eagles will be out inspecting the trails after sleet, SNOW & wind for downed trees & limbs. The northern part of the County received well over a 1 foot so many of those clubs will begin panning or rolling to begin building the hard icy base. That hard frozen base will help keep the trails in good shape should a warm up happen this Winter riding season.

The trails still need more SNOW in the Eagle River area to open. More Lake Snow over the last 2 nights amounted to about 4 inches total, 6 miles east of Eagle River. That brings the total out east 10+-. Been some LE Snow. Next measurable SNOW looks to come in a week from this Monday. Stay tuned.

Temps are going to be in the low 20’s & single digits for the couple weeks. Some daytime highs in the teens & couple of below zero at night. SNOW not going anywhere.

Think Cold! Start Doin’ A Snow Dance!

Area Report:

OH BOY… What. A. Weekend. ❄️

We’ve been digging out up here in the Lake Gogebic Area— over 30 inches of fresh snow already — and Mother Nature isn’t done with us yet! More snow and cold temps in the forecast this week. Winter showed up fast and fierce!

We’ve been getting tons of calls from excited riders wondering when they can hit the trails. As a reminder, trails are officially open on Monday, December 1st — but here’s the reality:

👉 Per Gogebic Area Grooming:

“While trails are officially open as of December 1st, the storm left behind significant damage, downed trees, debris, and large water holes that haven’t frozen yet. At this time, the trails are NOT safe to ride. Crews are out working hard to clear and secure things. It is HIGHLY recommended that riders stay off the trails right now to allow cleanup and prevent further damage. We’ll continue to provide updates as conditions improve. Thank you for your patience — safe trails start with all of us!”

We know the excitement is real — trust us, we feel it too! 🛷🔥

Let’s give our amazing groomers the time they need to get things ride-ready.

📣 We’ll keep everyone updated right here as soon as conditions change!

In the meantime… make sure you get your groups together and make your reservations early!

We’ll look forward to seeing you soon.
