We appreciate any help on this.
Western U.P. Trail Report – Western U.P. Bureau – 12/11
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, Ironwood received the most snow in the U.P. during the recent storm from 10 pm Tuesday thru 7 am Thursday with 29.5″. Our season snowfall to day is around 42″… there’s more in some areas, less in others.
Groomers from the Gogebic Range Trail Authority, Gogebic Area Grooming and Watersmeet are all out working on the trails. Conditions will be “early season” as there are still wet areas(which all the snow is insulating)and the snow is very loose-warmer weekend temps should help in building bases – just want you to know this info so you don’t have any unrealistic expectations.
Keep in mind, although MI trails are open as of December 1st, they may or may not be groomed. WI Trails will open December 14th, snow and weather permitting.
Check out web cams throughout the area to see the snow amounts for yourself. Find links on our website at westernup.info
Western U.P., Michigan – December 10 – According to my handy
yardstick, at 5:00 this a.m. we had 21" of fresh snow outside my back
door in Bessemer and it was still coming down,though lightly. Suffice
it to say, we have lots. Both the Gogebic Range Trail Authority and
Gogebic Area Groomers are out-either prepping or grooming —

Over 5 inches of snow overnight in the Western U.P. – Snow guns are
blasting are area resorts and with a little luck grooming of the
snowmobile trails will start soon. Here is a photo of the snow at the
Regal Country Inn in Wakefield. — www.regalcountryinn.com
