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. Download the Groomer Tracker app and subscribe to the clubs where you ride! For only $10 (of which $5 comes directly back to the club) you can have up to the moment grooming operation information!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The first round of wet snow has pushed into much of the UP this morning. While several areas may see a lull in the precipitation this afternoon, a rain/snow mix may be seen this afternoon in many areas. As the low pressure passes this afternoon, winds swing to the north and become quite gusty, with Lake Superior shoreline locations potentially seeing gusts to 45 mph. A rapid cooldown is then expected with lake effect snow... See MoreSee Less
SNOW FALL FRIDAY WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> TIMING POST! This is for Friday, February 28th into Saturday, March 1st. Notice the heavy snow across the UP through almost the entire day. This is why some areas will go up to 11" or maybe even slightly more. Winds will be HOWLING. Gusts over 50mph are likely. This can lead to blizzard conditions. I wouldn't be surprised to see some typical problem spots have road closures (M-28). #miweather#keweenaw#westernup#marquette#... See MoreSee Less
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 2/27/25 Josh and I went out grooming last night- we waited as long as we could to go out so it had more time to set. Started at 11 and tucked the groomer in at 4am, it started with flurries at 3am There were a couple wet spots on the edges of 3 corners but otherwise the trail came out pretty smooth! Let’s hope these temps stay low and the snow keeps falling! Stay right, stay safe, stay on trail - have fun! #keweenaw#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Winter ain't done with us just yet! A vigorous clipper system barrels through tomorrow bringing a nice swath of heavy snow to parts of the UP. The further south you go, the later in the day it'll be. Likely around the evening drive home a burst of snow moves through quickly coating the ground. This is along an arctic cold front that drops our temps for several days. #miweather#keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising#seney#newberry#soo#... See MoreSee Less
