KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club – 01/12
Unfortunately, the snow and cold haven’t come to the Copper Country. Several areas reported rain (yes, RAIN 🌧️) in our area Wednesday and temperatures haven’t been favorable. If we are to believe the forecast things are going to get ROUGH for us by Monday. We will be reducing grooming as we have started pulling up rocks and damaging equipment. Things are getting thin across most of our system. At this point being transparent is the best we can do, we need snow and cold to get this season going! Mother Nature isn’t returning our calls.
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> Did you know that Copper Range Railroad abandoned the corridor in 1972 and the DNR took over in 1974 allowing us to have the trails for use! Many spots you can see what is left of the mining days! We average 300” a year of snow & we are past half way! There are times I & other have rode sleds into May! Ideal in May, maybe not but still enough to ride haha Trails do close April 1st, tho you can ride trail 3. Krupp’s Resort is open all year long, come visit! 🇺🇸⛄️❄️ www.kruppsresortmi.com Kruppy Cam kpr.uarhelp.com:6001/jpg/image.jpg... #keweenaw#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/10
Decisions….decisions….. Many of you are messaging about the upcoming holiday weekend and your riding plans….. we figured the best way to describe current conditions would be with this video from last night!
Trails are holding very well despite the lack of fresh snow and a few days of warm temps! This video shows a pretty accurate view of the CURRENT conditions….. even if you don’t have a freshly groomed trail, your alternative is almost as good!
Last weekend and so far this week, traffic has been lighter and groomers have been able to get out nightly! As we get closer to the holiday weekend, traffic is sure to pick up.
It should be noted that there are some wet areas. Specifically the water hole on the High Rock Bay spur trail, water hole north out of Eagle Harbor on trail 130 and general wet areas found on trail 133. Most areas have gotten a chance to freeze over more and more with the low temps each night.
There are a few trails -130 and 133 and the High Rock spur trail – where groomers have not been able to groom lately due to lower snow cover. As of right now these trails are still in good overall condition. A few inches of snow are in the forecast this week but we could definitely use a huge dumping of that white gold!
Please download the Groomer Tracker App and subscribe to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trail system to receive up to the moment grooming information!
