Well the end of season is finally here and I hope everyone got to put lots of miles on. I want to personally thank all of those who follow our page and trust my Reports. A special thanks to all that came out and showed your support and purchased some swag this year. The proceeds are going to take some of the groomers and a guest out for dinner this week. A special thanks to Val and Jerry for hosting the dinner at The Pit Stop Bar & Grill in Greenland.
I will continue to post during the off season so you all can see the beauty of the UP during the other 3 sessons.

A sledder could have a great day riding from Mass City and north
The Portage lift bridge is already closed to cross on sleds so you would have to trailer over that to ride the Keweenaw trails but I’m sure there are some lucky snow lovers riding today
Check out the Shackiecam 24/7 right here looking out over Lake Roland in Twin Lakes
Have a great day

It’s awesome to see so many riders out enjoying these awesome conditions. Last nights snowfall really freshened things up!
Groomers have also been out again! #keweenaw #snowphotos
We've got 3 days left in the season and I'm pretty sure the groomers are done for the year. Today started with a light mist around 10am and turned into a pretty solid rain all afternoon. Now at 7pm it's a frozen sleet coming down. They are calling for about an inch of snow/sleet over night tonight. Not much tomorrow during the day but then tomorrow night we might see 2"-4".
If you're up for one last ride remember the Portage bridge is closed and ride with caution.

Trail 122 and 133 sadly, not recommemd by our experience and other riders due brush (133) and low snow (122) Getting in and out of Gay on Wednesday was good but deteriorated quickly after. (Trail 124 from Phoenix to Gay is closed!
Trail 134 and 135 are like superhighways and literally best riding all season.
Who knows what this forecast is actually going to do as far as additional snowfall, but if you are looking for one last ride possibly on Monday, it could be awesome!
We saw probably 50 other riders and not one was regretting their decision to make this last trip! All seemed to be seasoned spring riders, which does make a difference.
Highly recommend staging from the The Drift Inn or even a location further north if you are planning one last ride! (Be sure to stop in today for their awesome Taco Pizza)
Trails running on private land close after the 31st. Trails on state land do not close - example - trail 3 running south out of Houghton! Plenty more across the UP! Know before you go!
The Portage Lake Lift Bridge is closed to snowmobile crossing. #keweenaw #snowphotos
The first round comes tomorrow through Saturday morning with freezing rain/rain/sleet. The second round comes Saturday night into Sunday.
The track of this system still remains unclear for Sunday and snowfall axis. Regardless, we're expecting sloppy roads.
More updates to come! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
