KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 12/18
Nick Heelein just spent the last two days riding the Keweenaw and shared these photos with us!
Nick said, “Had a great time on the trails the last two days, even got to ride on freshly groomed trails last night!
Trails were in good condition with the exception of the ones leading to Eagle Harbor/Eagle River/and Gay(limited snow and wet areas) We enjoyed stops at the The Mariner North, Luigi’s Bar Calumet, The Gay Bar, Maple Leaf/ American Legion Post 291, and Quincy’s Dining Co!”
Thanks for sharing Nick!
A few reminders:
🛑 The Portage Lake Lift Bridge has not yet been opened for snowmobile crossing. This means you must trailer across to ride north or south of the bridge.
🛑 Trail 124 is temporarily closed for logging – latest update from the club now states “Tentatively will open around 1/15/25”
⚠ Trail 133 is listed as being open as of 12/15/24 according to the club however, they warn “Trail 133 is now open, but has not been groomed yet. Please ride with caution and expect closed gates and other obstacles.”
NOTE: it appears a groomer is heading down trail 133 as we post this. Hopefully will have further update from the club in the morning!
⚠ There is a reroute on trail 3 (south of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge) in Twin Lakes. Please follow the signs for the trail and refrain from riding along side of the highway.
‼ Thankfully, we are under a current winter weather advisory and some fresh snow is forecasted to fall over the area.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> Where did you ride this week? Let us know how it was! Plans to ride this weekend?
W🤩W! What a week it has been! Definitely the busiest weekday riding we have EVER seen! SO many sleds! Every other rider and employees at businesses along the trail that we talked to, said the same thing!
Ben Anderson and crew, from Minnesota, were up riding this week and shared these photos with us.
Ben said, “Another great trip to Michigan...trails were great in the morning and trashed by evening...never seen this many people here riding during the week but groomers still did a damn fine job!”
Groomers were out last night smoothing the trails back out! Please download the Groomer Tracker app and subscribe to the club(s) where you ride! This will provide you with up to the moment grooming operations!
Heading into what is certain to be another busy weekend, we would like to remind riders to Ride Right, Ride Sober, Ride Safe & Lead Right! #keweenaw #snowphotos

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club >> Our trails took a BEATING today with the warm up, we have a full team headed out to hit everything and get it flattened back out for everyone. Please keep in mind we are seeing 100s of sleds on our grooming runs in the middle of the night - this gives very little time for things to set up. Give the guys a wave if you see them out!
Thanks,
The KSC Board of Directors #keweenaw #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Anyone order clear skies?!?

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> Thursday January 30th
Let Toivola around 10 this morning and trail 3 was already showing those nasty moguls. Trail 13 from Greenland to trail 137 was rough but it's been over 24hrs since the last groom. Trail 137 was was and flat with maybe 2 little ripples. Trail 3 back north is getting ugly quick. There's a lot of traffic for a Thursday.

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> There will be some melting before the weekend, but, if you are heading north the current snowpack is looking decent for many winter sport areas! Some areas of the UP that have had excessive lake effect this season are pushing 5-6ft of snow depth! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
Too bad that color is 40-50 inches, not 50-75 lol and its 1-2 ft not 3-4 ft
This supposed to be current snow depth? I’m 7 miles south of pine stump and we’ve gotten well over 2 foot in the last 48 hours alone. There’s way more than 50” out there. Way more than 75 even.
