When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via North Store Follow Me Outfitters >> Windy Corners fresh sn❄️w.. #newberry #snowphotosWindy Corners fresh sn❄️w
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area checking in for Saturday evening groom Sunday morning 1/25/25.. we received somewhere around 6" of new snow. Current temp is 8°. Trails covered lastnight, 13n, 13s, 102, 1n and access trails.
Snow was a little easier to cut into and work with tonight which hopefully helps getting some of these monster moguls and 3' berms cut down. 1n to White Pine is a disaster!!
I think you all are dropping half sticks every 10' to make us work harder! 😆 We'll keep plugging along doing what we do. Traffic is high. Best ride is early morning, then come back and support the local businesses in the afternoon and evening. Thanks everyone. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
CURTIS AREA UPDATE via Curtis Area Trail Association >> Congrats to Groomer Mike and his first solo groom last night !
Mike groomed the Newberry loop trails, including trails 43, east of Curtis, 457, Helmer spur 43 and 45 to 4 corners (trail 9 intersection).
Trails groomed up nicely and the bands of heavy snowfall made for a great first groom. #curtis #newberry #snowphotos
BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club >> 1/26 Update: Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of grooming updates today. With yesterday’s warm up above freezing, we were unable to groom last night. Today the plan is to evaluate our system and determine if we can get at least some of our groomers rolling again today and tomorrow. Our equipment is ready to roll and our volunteer crew of operators are ready to go. For those out riding today, please share your feedback on conditions with pictures and locations if possible.
As posted last night, our open house was very successful! We appreciate everyone who was able to attend and to those that became members, thank you for contributing to our club. We hope to regularly see new members at our future events and meetings, as we are always looking for new faces and ideas. We especially appreciate all the work by our members and board throughout the day. There are so many dedicated volunteers working behind the scenes that made this event a great success! Also thanks to those who donated or provided food items and door prizes for our event. Paul H Jernberg, Chase Creek Smoke House, Fox Powersports Peacock, Hutson, Inc., Ebels General Store
