Anyone know the story or some information on that pretty red PistenBully wide track groomer that sits by U.S, 41 where trail-3 crosses about three miles south of Brockway Mountain Drive in the U.P.? The caution signs suggest that riders might encounter the groomer while traveling on the trail there. Thought it might be there for testing purposes or demonstration or something, but in many travels past this we have never seen it moving or anyone around it. Just wondering.

It is used to transport skiers. Some of the ski cuts are visible as you East/North up Brockway. They are on the North slope of the next ridge. Can't see them from the top though.
Initially thought it was for testing or something else exciting too.

Okay, that explains the larger, transport type cab of the groomer.

Probably true. There was another sled from that era sitting just off the trail by Bessemer all winter.
Some things are safe. Duct tape on the seat. Might be the best theft deterrent available.

Why is it even allowed on the trail? The sign about going slow and making way for the thing have always rubbed me the wrong way a bit as well.
Maybe it is Mt Bohemia’s property that we’re guests on in that section of trail, I don’t know. (I’m sure someone does.)

The Ski Doo is actually the escort, it travels a few hundred yards in front of the transport with a flashing yellow light to caution approaching sleds. We encountered it last year.
