Area Report:
Saturday, December 20th:
Bergland and Marenisco groomers have been out working and trails are reported to be in decent shape with some nice sections and also some not so nice. Caution is strongly advised. Lake traffic is not recommended at this time but we are getting closer each day. Gogebic Area Groomers appreciate the help from those riders taking down some of the whips and low branches. It’s slowly getting better but there are still quite a few out there so if anyone feels inclined, pack a shears and take some more out. At AJ’, we got brushed our AJ access trails, but there is still one turn that needs a tree taken out. If anyone feels inclined to removed that – there will be dinner for you at AJ’s! Thank you!!
Saturday’s forecast looks to be windy with steady snow showers for most of the day. All the riders who came into our place last night had nothing but favorable early season riding reports!
Here’s an update on Lake Gogebic Area Trail conditions:
• Trail 102: Bergland Groomers took two machines up 102 and it had it’s first groom of the season. Definitely not perfect but a step in the right direction.
• Trail 1 South: Groomed and in good shape from Marenisco north to Trail 100. Closed beyond that temporarily. South from Marenisco is groomed to PI. There are still some rough sections with quite a few whips/low branches yet.
• Trail 2: Groomed and smooth through Marenisco to the Trail 1 intersection.
• Trail 13: Rerouted at Trail 100 to the north and then heads east at Camp 6 Rd where it connects back into the old section. It’s panned all the way to the Trail 2/13 intersection but still lots of water and rough sections. Use caution!
• Trail 13 to Root Cellar is not opened, but hoping that it will be opened by the end of the weekend.
• Trail 100: Groomed from Trail 1 to M64 with some wet and rough spots. Panned from M64 to Trail 13 with some rough sections.
Forecast is calling for cold temps – some snow in the forecast – and keeping fingers crossed for a big storm over Christmas!
Thanks to all – looking forward to a great season and don’t forget to join a club where you ride: www.gogebicareagrooming.com!
