Trail Conditions:
Groomers are working tirelessly to catch up with the heavy snowfall. With this much fresh powder, it may take a couple of days to get everything fully packed and smoothed out, but riders can still expect excellent conditions across the Western U.P. Some trails may be a bit soft until grooming efforts are complete, so plan accordingly and ride with caution.
What to Expect:
Plenty of fresh snow for great riding.
Groomers running regularly, but some trails may still be in progress.
Watch for deep snow in ungroomed sections and be prepared for changing conditions.
Cold temps should help maintain trail quality in the coming days.
This is shaping up to be one of the best weekends for riding this season, so get out and enjoy the fresh powder while it lasts! As always, ride safe, respect private property, and support the local businesses that keep our trail system alive.
For up-to-date trail conditions, be sure to check with local clubs and grooming reports.
Happy riding! #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosA fresh dumping of snow has hit the Ontonagon and Porcupine Mountains area this week, with some spots reporting over 20 inches of new snowfall! This has provided a much-needed refresh to the trails, creating a fantastic base for riding.

Justin Stoderl is staying at the Root Cellar Resort and actually went out to ride this morning.
Justin said “13 N leaving Root Cellar this morning. Plenty of good snow, once groomers get out it will be perfect. Few small drifts on 137 use caution… Landed here in Ontonagon.”
Thanks so much for sharing Justin! Be safe and keep us updated!
IF anyone attempts to ride PLEASE use extreme caution and be prepared for possible downed trees, water hazards hidden under fresh snow, blowing and drifting snow etc!
It will take a bit for grooming operations to be able to get trails back in shape!
If you don’t already have the Groomer Tracker app we highly recommend you download it and subscribe to the clubs where you ride! #keweenaw #westernup #snowphotos
