Trail Report – : Lake Gogebic | Bergland, Michigan – December 31, 2019

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Good

Date of Report: December 31, 2019

Area Report:

Received over a foot of snow yesterday which would have been much more welcomed had it not been for the warmer temps that created open water areas.    It’s still snowing with temps in the high teens which could drop to single digits later today.   Let’s hope.    Snow is in the forecast daily with a significant (12-24”) forecasted for Jan 4-9.

Currently:

  • Trail 1 N has some wet spots.
  • Trail 8 between Bergland and Wakefield is CLOSED due to water on the trail. Advised not to ride this trail at all until it freezes.   If heading west, take the West shore to Marenisco.
  • Trail 13 North: groomed last night.
  • Trail 8W groomed last night.

Most of all the trails have some type of water issues.  Groomers are out now in Marenisco seeing what needs to be fixed, so please use caution while our guys assess and fix.     Snow cover is making is more difficult to see water areas.   Everyone is doing all they can – please do your part and be smart when out riding.      

There’s a bunch of parties here on Lake Gogebic where you can spend New Years twice in two different time zones!     Kick of the night on the North Shore and then head it down the lake for some live entertainment at the Gogebic Lodge!     Wherever you go, however you get there – please be safe.    The New Year is here and we don’t want anything happening to anyone!    Look after each other and keep an eye out for anyone who may need assistance. 

Also, please consider supporting the clubs where you ride – all these clubs with their groomers and volunteers are turning this white stuff into an amazing playground and it’s a huge effort!

From everyone here in the Lake Gogebic area – we wish you and yours a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – December 31, 2019

Reporter:Phillips/Park Falls Chambers

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 12″

Date of Report: December 31, 2019

Area Report:

Northwoods Hi-Riders

The trails around the Solberg Lake area are in poor riding condition due to the recent warm weather, rain, and heavy snow. There are significant wet spots on 141 just east of Solberg Lake, some of the swamps have opened and will need to be packed down again and freeze up before any grooming can occur. There is no grooming going on currently until we get colder weather. Solberg Lake is very inconsistent and has water and slush in many areas over the original ice. The lake is NOT marked, and it is advised that riders avoid traveling on it. Trails in highland areas are rideable and they are generally better further north. We need a few cold nights to firm things up again so grooming can continue. Stay tuned.

Ashland County Snowmobile Report December 30, 2019
Ashland County trails are reported poor condition and not being groomed at this time.  Be cautious in the swampy areas for standing water.  Please bear with us and STAY ON THE TRAILS.  Be respectful of the farmers land! Stay on trail, as much of the Ashland County snowmobile trail system uses private property and could be lost if the property owners experiences issues. The most common complaints are snowmobiles not staying on trails or going off into fields that are not part of the trail, and loud noise from non-stock muffler systems. Respect the trail system so that it remains open. The Tri-county corridor is open

The Fifield Sno Drovers 12/22/2019
We had to close trail 106 (corridor 19) to Iron County on Saturday, 12/21. While the Price County trails are groomed and in great shape, the trail after it crosses to Iron county travels through a swamp that is not frozen enough for them to groom. We had a rider sink in the mud and water, needing help for recovery. Alternative routes should be used.

Prentice Bushbenders Trail Report 12/19/2019
The trails are open but are in rough early season condition. We have only been out with our compactor and have not been able to pan or groom any trails yet due to numerous wet spots. We have been out breaking these spots up trying to get them to freeze down and are gaining on them so hopefully we will be starting grooming operations around Christmas. If you ride please use caution. Merry Christmas from the Prentice Bushbenders.

Park Falls Sno Gypsies 12/18/2019
Trails around Park Falls are slowly getting groomed. Several of the swamp areas are still partially open. Please when riding in the ungroomed areas of the swamps ride wide to pack the trails.

Price County has 500 miles of trail, maintained by 9 volunteer clubs. You’ll find beautiful scenery and wildlife along the trail system to enhance your experience.
