March 14, 2025 – 12:10 pm update: – FRIDAY AFTERNOON – It’s time to get up to the U.P. and get out on the trails. Still snow in the snow belts of the Upper Peninsula. Later Friday and Saturday warm temperatures and rain will likely take a toll on the trails. Weather moderates starting Sunday. There should be snow to ride after the warm up but the spring riding conditions may be challenging.
March 13, 2025 – 2:40 pm update: – THURSDAY AFTERNOON – The snow pack is holding up in the Eastern U.P. around Paradise and Newberry and Grand Marais where groomers have been out as late as last night. Also good snow pack the northern half of the Western U.P. and the Keweenaw Peninsula. Highs in the 40s, 50s and even 60s for the next couple of days and lows above the freezing mark. The high temps will likely melt back a lot of the base. So good sledding will be tough this weekend. Temperatures do start to moderate next week and there is snow in the forecast, so there may be chances to get in a spring ride in the Upper Peninsula as we move into the second half of March.
