Adam went out and rode the trails Wednesday night and shared these remarks
“Took a ride last night to see what all the fuss was about on trail 3 by Mohawk,
North of Mohawk the trail is getting pretty thin on snow, you will hit some gravel over about a 5 mile stretch, but get through because it gets a whole lot better
Trail 3 from Phoenix to Deleware is decent
Trails 132 and 134 are in great shape (best in the Keeweenaw)
130 from deleware into EH is good
133 wet and rough
3 over Brockway MT terrible
130 from Phoenix to cut off rd is poor
CH EH and LLB all have enough snow pack to easily access these towns to get to The Mariner North
Eagle Harbor Inn
Frosty’s
Lac La Belle Lodge / Bear Belly Pit Stop
Thursday and Friday specials at Eagle Harbor Inn
Meatloaf dinner with soup or salad $18
Tuna Casserole with soup or salad $16

Thanks, Josh and Cassandra! #masscity #keweenaw #snowphotos
The big system to the south will be giving us a little bit of snow on the north end Friday!
Expect a nice and easy 1-3" for the most part across the area. Roads will be slick at times, but salt and brine treatments should work just fine with temps in the middle 20s.
Winds could be about 10-15mph at times, which isn't too high, but still could cause some blowing around and reduced visibility. Mainly in wide open areas.
TIMING: Snow starts in Southwest Michigan, Lake Michigan shoreline of Northern Lower, and the U.P. between 7-8am. Flint and the TriCities by about 10-11am. Detroit likely after 12pm, maybe even as late as 2pm in some areas.
System snow will wrap up around midnight while lake effect kicks in on the west side of the state behind the system.
Lake effect totals Saturday are NOT included on this map. I'm keeping this for Friday only.
Lake effect Saturday will be very localized with some areas perhaps getting 3-6" more in heavy bands. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaSNOW TIME!!

Grooming went very well on trail 12 from MassCity to the turn around at the Silver reserve. There were a few bumpy corners and the road portion is developing ice in the middle. Overall good conditions. Hopefully get a nice amount of snow soon.
Thanks, Jon! #masscity #keweenaw #snowphotos
Mike Aschliman brought the “OG Rev” up this trip and turned 10,000 smiles riding from Lake of the Clouds to Calumet!
Mike said, “There is definitely more snow south of the bridge. Well done groomers!”
Thanks for sharing Mike! We know you take real good care of that OG Rev!
Notes on Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trail system…
* Trails from Toivola to Mohawk have been groomed almost every night
* Trails 124 is closed for logging
* Trail 134 is a great option for visiting The Mariner North, Copper Harbor Fuel Stop, The Gas Lite General Store - The Genny etc in CH - Copper Harbor has received fresh snowfall also the last few days
* The Valley Sno Drifters/Dreamland Trails are not yet open to Dreamland Restaurant & Bar - but Dreamland is easily accessible by vehicle just down Bootjack Rd out of Lake Linden - Dreamland is a favorite of many!
Notes from the club per Visit Keweenaw website
* ⚠️”Trails north of Mohawk continue to require more snow before grooming can be made. Riding these trails may be considered challenging and the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club urges caution - icy conditions, rocks, thin or bare areas, water may still be present.”
* ⚠️”Keweenaw Snowmobile Club made an opening pass on Trail 133. It is extremely wet and not recommended to ride yet. More snow needed to freeze that trail in.”
* “There is not enough snow yet to groom trails 151, and 152”
* ⚠️”Trail 122 is passable, but ride with caution: expect low snow mixed with mud and early season conditions” #keweenaw #snowphotos
