Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/28

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 12/28

‼️Update: 12/28/24 after the warm temps,rain last night and today conditions did deteriorate significantly…. All pavement areas are completely bare, making getting in and out of towns, to gas stations, restaurants, bars etc difficult. Grooming operations all across the U.P. pretty much have been paused. On the bright side, the New Year looks to bring in colder temperatures and the return of winter! Keep the snow dances going! ❄️🥶💃🕺

We shared a post earlier todayThe Mariner North, owner of Dumper Dan Sportfishing Charters in Sheboygan Wisconsin, and his family’s trip riding from Bruce Crossing to Copper Harbor ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/share/p/154RKCxhwD/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Well Dan and family are back in Houghton now and enjoying a delicious meal at Quincy’s Dining Co! Have you eaten here? Conveniently located right on trail 3 and highly recommended!
Dan said it misted lightly on them on the way up to The Mariner North and they had some fog, but so far the rain has held off! The snow cover on trail 3 is holding well! However, Copper Harbor area/Brockway Krupps Resortetting pretty bare…. SeeMidwest Weathersaid that there are quite a few sleds out and it’s getting choppy. This is to be expected with this weather and the fact that the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club has paused grooming operations until the conditions are more favorable.

Still plenty of (s)miles were had and memories were made riding as a family!

Thanks for sharing Dan! Enjoy your meal at Quincy’s and the ride back to your lodging at Krupps Resort!

Be sure to checkout Midwest Weather for the forecast! Looks like things could turn around starting the middle of next week, in regards to fresh snowfall!

Get dancing! ❄️🥶💃🕺

POSSIBLE LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT AFTER NEW YEAR'S DAY UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> The pattern will become favorable for a significant lake effect event after New Year's Day with increasing confidence in the first lake effect event to take place next Thursday-Sunday. It is way too far out to talk about totals, especially as deterministic guidance often underestimates these events. I wouldn't be surprised if there is over a foot in some locations just in that period. There'll be more updates on snowfall totals late this weekend.
For that reason, Kryptonite Weather and I are going to the UP of Michigan to chase the lake effect later next week. We will have more updates on plans as we get closer. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylordThe pattern will become favorable for a significant lake effect event after New Year's Day with increasing confidence in the first lake effect event to take place next Thursday-Sunday.

KEWEENAW TRAIL REPORTS via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> Did you keep your plans to ride this week? Or did you cancel?
Dan Welsch from Dumper Dan Sportfishing Charters in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and his wife and two sons enjoyed a great day riding yesterday from Bruce Crossing to Houghton!
Dan shared these photos and said, “Great riding yesterday from Bruce Crossing, Mass City, Rousseau Bar to Houghton. Copper Harbor run today! My family and I have enjoyed all of the years riding the The Keweenaw Peninsula!
Thanks for all the great work up here keeping the trails great and us informed all the time!
I operate a six boat charter fishing fleet of boats and also have condos and a store on the Sheboygan riverfront. We fish salmon and trout on Lake Michigan. Next year is my 40th year in business!
We have stayed at Krupps Resort and Parkview - New Lodge and Grill - great lodging choices! We stop at The Mariner North, The Drift Inn, Quincy's Dining Co, Hoppy’s Bar & Grill Up Chucks Bar for great food and drink! And never far to Rousseau Bar!
This is an awesome area! Definitely should be a must on anyone’s bucket list! We started writing up here in the mid 90s. Suit up, ride safe, miles are smiles! We head home tomorrow, we were here two weeks ago and will be back in January! We are headed up to Copper Harbor again now and trails are in good shape…. Tomorrow could be a different story depending upon the weather today ! Love the Keweenaw Peninsula! Thank you again!l”
Thanks so much for sharing Dan and hope the rest of your ride today brings lots of smiles and great memories! #keweenaw #snowphotos

I still think it would be a good idea to stay off trails next 4 days till it cools down again to preserve for the rest of the winter. Hate to see us start over.

Thanks for the update be up in January
