KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/22
What an amazing weekend here in the Keweenaw! We hope you all had fun wherever you were able to ride! If you weren’t able to ride, we hope you were busy planning a trip in the future!
This past week, we personally heard from 3 riders that actially extended their trips by a day because they were having such a great experience.
Alex Linstead was one of them! Alex shared these photos of his trip with us and said,
“We drove up early Saturday morning, brought my buddy whos never had the chance to ride the Keweenaw before. We put on 200 miles Saturday and had mostly excellent trails! We stopped at the The Mariner North in Copper Harbor. We decided to stay the night and went to Downtowner Lounge for dinner. Then we stopped at Quincy’s for a drink, where we saw the groomer go by and went out and rode the section of 3 that just reopened and it was amazing! Went back out thismorning and put on another 60 miles before heading out, ate breakfast at Slim’s Cafe and and it was great!”
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos Alex and we are S❄️ glad you enjoyed the trip!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club – 01/21
Trails took a beating yesterday as the main corridors on our system saw very high traffic. As a reminder, we lack a robust “base” for this time of year. We cut and laid things back down but without that base it tears apart quickly.
Reminder that the High Rock Spur is not being groomed due to the trail condition and that there are still many wet areas on our system. Ride right and with caution as you support our local establishments!
Thanks,
The KSC Board of Directors

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club >> 1st One Out! After a heavy day of traffic, our first team member is headed out to knock down some moguls and get those trails flat for everyone. We’ve heard of several close calls today alone, please slow down and use some caution. We want you to make a return visit! Ride right, safe and sober!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A much cloudier day over the UP compared to yesterday! Light snow showers have been observed today with only a half inch so far at the office here in Negaunee Township. Despite the light nature of the snow, it has been efficient at reducing visibility, with below 1 mile visibility being reported at some locations this morning, so take caution while traveling today! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Scattered lake effect snow showers will develop across western into north central Upper Michigan today. Snow accumulations today will be an inch or less, except 1 to 2 inches in the high terrain of Baraga and Marquette counties. The snow showers will diminish later tonight.

In addition, gusty west winds of 35 to 50 mph are possible across the Keweenaw Peninsula Sunday night and Monday morning. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaScattered lake effect snow showers will develop across western into north central Upper Michigan today.

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!

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.
