Snowmobile Trail Conditions Presque Isle, WI Marenisco, MI Bruce Crossing, MI Watersmeet, MI Lake Gogebic

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

Déjà vu on trail 6 again this morning.  Enough snow to ride, but not enough to groom.  Once we made it into Michigan it was smooth sailing.  We took trail 2 east into Watersmeet and gassed up.  Then continued east to trail 3 north and trail 107.  As you can see in the video, trail 107 was AMAZING!

It is by far one of my favorite trails in the U.P.  We arrived at U.P. Chucks in Kenton and grabbed some refreshments and soup (they always have great soup).  After our short break we got on trail 8 and took that west to Bergland.  Other than the occasional rock or dirty snow patch, the trail was in surprisingly good shape!  We fueled up in Bergland and then took Lake Gogebic south to Fish Tales and joined up with trail 1 south back to Presque Isle.  In just a few hours we put on 163 miles.  Can’t beat that when you are out having fun with your Dad and Brother!

Overall Trail Rating: 8 out of 10
Distance: 163
Previous: 109
Season Total: 272

Snowmobile Trail Conditions Presque Isle, WI Lake Gogebic, Watersmeet, MI

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

We left the house early and hit the trails.  There was a fine snow falling, but no significant accumulation.  Trail 6 east had enough snow to ride, but not enough to groom.  We took trail 1 north out of Presque Isle to the Gogebic Lodge.  It was in good shape (for early season conditions) with a few mud holes here and there.  After warming up at the lodge we headed south on trail 1 to trail 100 over to trail 13 south.  We stopped in at Rogers bar and had a delicious raspberry chicken sandwich from their new food menu.  Trail 2 was in excellent shape as usual.  We gassed up in Marenisco, then headed south on trail 1 back to Presque Isle.

Overall it was a good day of early season riding.  The Michigan trails were fantastic while the Wisconsin trails are horrible!
