Winter Storm Warning in effect until 7 PM EST this evening… Not that it has started to snow on the Keweenaw, I don’t think it’s going to stop! 5 to 7 inches over the weekend, 4 to 6 more today, more tonight, more tomorrow, more the next day, more…… On the positive side, cross country ski and snowmobile trails are in terrific shape – groomers actually have new snow to work with.

This is the Keweenaw trail system report for Monday, January 23, 2012.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and groomers are out working on them. Trails are in fair to very good condition. Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails….they have the right of way!!! Please watch out for deer on the trails too.

Please be aware that if you snowmobile on U.S. Coast Guard property you could face federal trespass charges.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.
