As of 12/12/17, the Keweenaw Peninsula has 17 inches of snow on the ground and has received a total of 72 inches of snow for the season.
Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are officially open but are in early season condition. Some groomers are out opening trails and clearing hazards. More snow is needed.
Any trail usage should be done with extreme caution as there is low snow cover, rocks, branches, wet areas and hazards that have not been identified.
The Portage lift Bridge will not be open for snowmobile traffic before December 16th. We will post when it is open.
Trail 124, 132W and 133 are temporarily closed for logging.
Remember when youโre out on the trails to watch out for the groomers. They have the right away.
FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average. Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. ๐ #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#petoskey#gaylord#cadillac#traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. ๐
FROM The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club >> Just wind and rain here in Mass City! ๐ We wish to thank Jim F. for removing 5 large trees off of Trail 3 yesterday! Unfortunately there may be more after today's wind. #ontonagon #keweenaw#westernup #miweather ... See MoreSee Less
