| Area Report: |
It looks like Mother Nature is ending the snowmobiling season early again this year. Although there's plenty of snow in some areas here, there's also plenty of areas of bare ground. Friday was the last day that was anywhere near decent. Since Saturday, temps really rose and things started melting. At the U.P. Thunder Riders Appreciation Dinner on Saturday night, our trail boss said that there would still be grooming if we got snow into April. At this point of continuing thawing, it would be a miracle. If we get snow and cold and grooming is possible, I'll let you know or call 906-358-9961 for updates. We hope you were able to get that last sledding trip in before this thaw. :o)
All of us at the Watersmeet Chamber would like to thank you for choosing to visit our area. We know that you have lots of choices and hope that our business owners and fine grooming by our terrific club will bring you back to our area time and time again. We had some great snow this year and had awesome trails for the most part of the winter. The variety of great accommodations, area restaurants, gas stations, snowmobile services, other related businesses, and our dedicated snowmobile club and groomers are here to make your stay a memorable one. We hope you had a wonderful stay and will start planning your 2009-2010 stay now. Thank you all and we hope you'll once again plan to stay where you play. Have a great season and we'll see you when the snow falls again. :o) Thanks much.
I have some facts from our 2007-2008 season for the UP Thunderriders Snowmobile Club in Watersmeet that I thought everyone might be interested in:
