From the Gogebic Range Trail Authority : The only trails left are 160-11N and 11S...they are mostly rideable , but the best we can do for condition is poor. Daytime temps in the 50's tend to wreak havoc...for more info on GRTA at: gogebicrangetrailauthority.com) Just talked to George at the Hoop in the Lake Gogebic Area-and he said ditto for 102 and 1 to White Pine, as well as 13 N to Rockland...mostly rideable but poor. U.P. Thunder Riders of Watersmeet: Grooming is done for this year... If anything changes, we'll let you know...thanks for riding with us this year...we love having you come to Big Snow Country! TOO MANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS are in the news this year. Many are alcohol and speed related. We want you to have a great time on our trails here in Big Snow Country, so please use your good common sense and save your drinking for after the ride. ICE: Let us reiterate, there is no such thing as "safe" ice. If you choose to ride on a body of water, be sure you check with locals in the specific area you intend to ride and get current information on conditions in that area. When you ride on ice, you are doing so at your own risk. PHOTO REQUEST from us. Thanks to those who've responded...keep 'em coming. If you have any neat snomo pictures you're willing to share, we're looking for a cover shot for next years map and other marketing uses. Can't pay but will give a photo credit on inside of map. Send in jpg -300 dpi-to bigsnow@westernup.info. Be aware anything you send will become the property of the WUPCVB so this request is more for amateur photographers...in other words, don't send anything you may want to sell in the future. Appreciate any help on this. WATCH FOR GROOMERS Keep in mind the groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, and PLEASE pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them. SIGN VANDALISM RESULTING IN SERIOUS SITUATION Expect to see more patrols on the trails due to a recent rash of sign vandalism incidents...we're hearing cameras also may be enlisted in order to apprehend those responsible. If you see any suspicious activity, please call the DNR at 800-292-7800. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
