KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club >> 01/16
Progress Report going into the Holiday Weekend ⬇ Trails are shaping up nicely with snow this past week, but still thin in many areas from being ridden hard.
3 – Toivola to Mohawk – Good ✅
3 – Mohawk to Gratiot Lake – rock mixed with low snow ❗
3 – Gratiot Lake to Copper Harbor (and Brockway mountain) – many thin and bare spots ❗
17, 132, 132W, 134, 135, 153 – Good to Excellent ✅
122 &124 – Fair, thin conditions ❗
130 – Poor to good (better closer to Eagle Harbor) ❗
151 – Poor – lots of large rock ❗
152 – Fair – Small rock mixed with low snow ❗
133 – Hasn’t Been Groomed Based on Conditions – expect some water, low snow, possible trees/ brush ⚠
136 – No Grooming Yet – expect an open water spot and low to no snow ⚠ (this is the High Rock Spur Trail)
Everything is rideable, expect very high traffic and things to deteriorate quickly based on that. When trails don’t get to set up after a groom, they’re going to go right back to moguls quickly.
It’s also FREE snowmobile weekend – watch for inexperienced riders and new riders, be positive – we need them in our sport and to buy those permits! RIDE RIGHT RIDE SAFE – We don’t want statistics on our trail system other than record snowfalls!
Thanks,
The KSC Board of Directors

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.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Winter Weather Advisories remain in place for the northern tier of the UP where an additional 2-5 inches of snow is possible through Wednesday evening in NW wind lake effect snow bands. Periods of heavy snowfall rates and blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility and result in hazardous travel conditions, especially near Lake Superior. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyWinter Weather Advisories remain in place for the northern tier of the UP where an additional 2-5 inches of snow is possible through Wednesday evening in NW wind lake effect snow bands.
