NEWS FROM OUR LOCAL VERMILION PENGUINS SNOWMOBILE CLUB! THEY ARE STAKING LAKE VERMILION THIS WEEK! CONDITIONS ARE STILL NOT PRIME YET FOR RIDING THE TRAILS, ALTHOUGH LAKE RIDING MAY STILL BE SKETCHY IN SOME AREAS. WE WILL UPDATE THIS WEEK AS WE WILL BE OUT HELPING STAKE THE LAKE.

NEW STAKING SCHEDULE – Help needed.

We are trying to get the stakes set before Christmas so we need to do it mid-week which makes volunteers a bit more difficult to come by so if you can help please do. It’s fun.

Schedule:

Monday: we will set the big map/directional signs out on the lake. We could use another body or two with sleds. The plan is to meet at the shop but if that is out of your way – we can meet on the lake. Please let us know in a comment if you are available.

Tuesday: we will stash stakes at convenient locations around the lake so staking will be more efficient. We could use a body or two with pickups. 9:30 at the shop.

Wednesday: this is the big day, we would like to get all the stakes set so will need bodies with sleds (meaning snowmobiles but if you have a sled sled we can use that too). Usually we have a lot of help but this being midweek near Xmas we might be a little skinny so please volunteer if you can. Any extra bodies will not be wasted we will just get done sooner. Bring a little shovel and a 3lb or so hammer if you have them. Meet at the shop at 9:30 or catch up to us one the lake.

Thanks everybody – stuff is getting real now and fast!!! Yippee!!!!

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – December 19, 2021

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 2″ – 4″

Date of Report: December 19, 2021

Area Report:

After 4 days of sun at 40° & 50° plus Wednesday night thunderstorms our trails took a hit. However as of today the trails south of Portage Bridge are in fair to good condition. We have started limited grooming at night only.

North of the bridge has a little less snow but the trails are rideable. Trail 3 has been opened up north of Phoenix but has not been groomed. Trails 124 and 133 have been brushed and and opened up. BE VERY CAREFUL on these 2 trails as there are some large water holes and until it freezes we cannot fill them. Trails 122 Lake Linden to Gay and 130 between Eagle River and Eagle Harbor are both still closed. Also the Portage bridge is still closed to snowmobile traffic but hope to be opened very soon.

We need some cold weather and snow to get everything in better shape. Just be careful it’s still early season so travel at your own risk.

Gogebic Area Grooming is reporting poor conditions and is suspending Grooming Operations until Mother Nature gets on board. We lost a lot of snow overnight but temps are in high teens so should start to freeze well. Groomers are doing machine maintenance right now and are out on the trails removing trees/branches that got knocked down from the high winds. Forecast shows snow in the forecast, but we need a good blast to pull it all back together. Will post an update early next week. Be positive – think snow. Do the Heikki Lunta!!
