SNOWMOBILE TRAILS IN EAGLE RIVER
Varying conditions – Good, Fair, Poor
Groomer Tracking Systems (GTS Trails) reports in the last 24 hours no grooming. Grooming will resume when conditions permit.
Cloudy today with high of 30 & 12 tonight. So it seems the warm up may have finally ended. 20’s & teens for high through the rest of week during the day. Night time temps singles digits. There is SNOW in the forecast Monday through Wednesday of next week. To far out to offer accurate totals so stay tuned.
Conditions are all over the place. Trails have softened up pretty much everywhere. Woods trails have SNOW cover & are pretty good. Trails along north sides of roads have burn through. That evil sun does a job on them. Roads may have ice but most are pretty bare. In town crossings a wet & messy. Cold temps are back starting tonight. Cloudy to partly cloudy as well. Will have photos tomorrow.
Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked. Have not ridden across either but conditions on both lakes may produce surface slush with temps up & sun out. Remember not all lakes are safe. Look for markers and/or signing. If you don’t see any the lake is not safe.
P.S. There is a 55mph nighttime speed limit.
THINK COLD! KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!!
See ya on the trails when it cools down!

Area Report:
Day 4 of the Sunny Blast Furnace. Upper 40’s and sunny conditions persist. DUG and I rode yesterday afternoon and was way impressed that the conditions were. There is still white snow and flat conditions on the trails. The road crossings and the east west roads like Portage Lake Rd and Forest Lake Rd are in meltdown mode. The north and south roads still have snow on them. Trails were all groomed last night and look good. Weather is supposed to improve greatly—maybe even this afternoon. Looks like we will survive Mother Nature’s attack on winter.

Groomer Notes (Please note: groomers are typically out on the trails daily, however, WCTA does not always receive an updated report directly from the groomer.)
2/15/20 – Trail 39 S./239 S. along with 7a/140 we’re groomed today; overall they are in pretty good shape, the trails are hard pack with icy stretches. The groomer is only able to cut so deep with all the ice. Be aware of moguls, but overall trails are in pretty good shape (Submitted by Rolling Hills Snowmobile & ATV Club)

Area Report:
While the warm-up this weekend was not what was ordered – it was nice to see the sunshine – but now – it can go away 😊Groomers have been doing a great job all season at keeping our trails and the Lake Gogebic Area trails held up amazingly well throughout the weekend. Our temps drops into single digits mid—week with snow in the forecast. Groomers have and will continue to be out nightly. We still have tons of snow and more than a 3’ base. This was a bump and we rode it out well. Enjoy a great week of riding in the Lake Gogebic Area where “you are a stranger only once”!
Please stay on the trails, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, drive safely.
Snowfall:
Lake Gogebic Area has received a total of 140″ of snow for the season and Keweenaw County has received 243.3″ of snow for the season.*

Area Report:
Trail report for February 24, 2020 – Trails are fair to good overall. Over the weekend there was very heavy traffic Our trail counter just went over 20,000 for the season! The weather from the last few days has not been very kind to us. It has been very sunny, and the temps reached into the 40’s. This took a toll and degraded the trails quite a bit. Today’s temps may reach in the high 30’s and we don’t expect snow until maybe Thursday. This will further degrade our trails. We will have to wait and do what we can until we get more snow and colder temps. Be aware with the high snowbanks at intersections visibility is diminished. The corners and other areas can be icy so use caution. Flagging and signs are up for a reason. STAY ON THE TRAIL! Some snowmobiles are going off the trails and getting stuck in the deep snow. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

SNOWMOBILE TRAILS IN EAGLE RIVER
Fair to Good on average
One more day of warm temps. High today of 39 with a low of 21 tonight. Starting tomorrow the temps will begin to drop. High tomorrow of 28 with a low of 14. Each day through Friday the temps will be in the teens for highs & single digits at night. Thursday SNOW in the forecast. Looks like not much. Stay tuned. Best chance of accumulating SNOW is next Monday & Tuesday. To far out for totals
The photos above were taken at 6:00pm last night. The left is Trail 10E of Eagle River. Middle is Trail 70W behind the Super 8. The right is Trail Alt13 aka 3S. Lighting is not the best. Still covered but very soft watery SNOW. Trail 10E is on the north side of the Hwy 70E & does show burn through. Others are covered. THINK COLD & KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE
Conditions have deteriorated but are better than you might imagine. SNOW covered enough on most trails that allowed the groomers to go out & groom overnight. The trails in the open & on north sides of roads have areas of burn through. Road routes either have ice in small sections or are bare. Most crossing had puddles by the end of yesterday. In town “the grade” Trails 10/13 are still SNOW covered. Most of this is due to the temps going below 32 at night. One more day of high daytime temps then back to 20’s during day & single digits. Need fresh SNOW which looks like it might be coming.
Groomer Tracking Systems (GTS Trails) reports in the last 24 hours most of the Eagle River trails were groomed. So here are the trails not groomed
ALL OTHER TRAILS ARE GROOMED
Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked. Conditions on both lakes may produce surface slush with temps up & sun out. Remember not all lakes are safe. Look for markers and/or signing. If you don’t see any the lake is not safe.
P.S. There is a 55mph nighttime speed limit.
