Gogebic Area Groomers Report:
Bergland Area Groomer's update for 3-1-26
Sound's like most clubs in the U.P. are experiencing the same thing.
Temp's got into the mid to upper 40s on Friday and dropped into the
lower teens that evening, locking everything in tight!
(Frustrating when you aren't even able to cut down a berm back to the
inside of the trail). We have plenty of snow, and the trails are holding up, but the forecast for this week looks like we'll see some more 40° days.
We aren't waving the white flag yet, but that will most likely mean
limited grooming on certain days.
U.P. Thunder Riders Trail Report:
TRAIL UPDATE 3/2/26- Trail conditions are changing quickly with the
warm-up. GROOMERS ARE OUT TONIGHT. We are pausing grooming
until temperatures get much colder and hopefully still have rideable
snow after this warm-up.
