KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/15
It’s time to ride! ✊🏻❄
Keweenaw County officially received THIRTY inches of fresh snowfall from 1/11 thru 1/14! The forecasts played out this time and we couldn’t be happier! You can checkout daily snowfall totals and compare them to previous seasons here:
Where did you chase this past weekends storm to ride? Or maybe you didn’t even need to travel to ride, as large amounts dumped in neighboring states south of us!
Jason Kremer and crew came up to Wildlife Refuge Cabins and spent all day yesterday enjoying the fresh dumping of white gold!
Jason said , “We rode from South Range down towards Mass City and then went back up to Houghton on trail 3. Lots of powder and trails were surprisingly flat! We had a great time! We headed to the The Ambassador in Houghton last night after watching some of the game!” We hope you enjoy your day today, Jason! Thank you for sharing your awesome photos!
Let us know where you rode and how conditions were or where your first trip is being planned for!
Please download the Groomer Tracker app and subscribe to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trail system so you can see real time grooming operations!
The Portage Lake Lift Bridge will hopefully be open for snowmobile crossing later this afternoon!
