Snow Cover: 12-18″
Date of Report: March 17, 2023
Area Report:
With the warmer temps yesterday, most of the precipitation was rain. It changed over to snow late last night and dropped 3-4″ of fresh snow. Temps are staying low today and we are in a Winter Weather Advisory until Saturday morning for 3-8″ of lake effect snow and high winds.
With that, if you are out ridding, there will be ice under the fresh snow which can make corners slippery. High winds can bring down tree branches or the snow may drift in open areas. Please slow down and ride for these sudden changes in trail conditions.
I haven’t heard yet if the groomers will be out Friday and Saturday. You can always check the Groomer Tracker app to see where we are and what has been done.

We discussed the closing of our trails at the Vilas County Alliance meeting Wednesday night and agreed to let the weather dictate the closing date. Right now, the trails are rideable, but they have to close on March 31 regardless of weather.
We have 2 weeks left of the season, so get out riding this weekend as the trails should be in good shape!
Check in Monday, 3/20 for an updated trail report.
Enjoy our trails and local businesses this weekend and as always “Ride Right” and be safe.

Groomers will be out again with the fresh snow and colder temperatures. Conditions are good; although you might encounter some drifting from the fresh snow and wind. Please check the GTS App for freshly groomed trails.
Many of the business in the county are open year-round however, there are some that have seasonal hours and some have closed or will close further into the month. Others may adjust their hours as the season slows down. As you move through the remainder of March and plan rides, please consider the places you want to stop and make sure to check out their hours.
We will keep you updated as we find out about trail conditions moving into late season. As always, ride safe and enjoy!

Area Report:
Trails in the Lake Gogebic Area are reported to be in good to excellent condition. We received some rain in the afternoon which only lasted a couple hour and it turned to snow around 6 p.m. and it’s been snowing since then. We are forecasted for another 2’ of snow. Groomers did not go out last night but they are heading out today. Should be a great weekend.
On March 25th, AJ’s Lodge & Oven will be hosting a groomer benefit – “Belly UP To The Bar” where groomers will step out of their machines and take a shift behind the bar and all the tips they receive will go directly to them. There will also be a way to donate directly to the club online if you can’t make it up! Details to follow – follow Gogebic Area Grooming on Facebook!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
