Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
March 30, 2019 – 2:45 pm update: Best places for riding in for the last weekend of riding on official snowmobile trails will be in the snow belts of the Eastern U.P. – Newberry to Grand Marais to Munising – and parts of the Western U.P. and the Keweenaw Peninsula. Still snow in Northern Lower Michigan, however we have no reports of grooming for the weekend.
Official snowmobile trails close at the end of the day on Sunday. You can still ride on trails on public lands and on two-tracks and other secondary roads. Likely to be snow on the ground for a week or two (or more) into April, especially in the snow belts of the Upper Peninsula. Please DO NOT TRESPASS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY or ignored gates closing off snowmobile trails. Have a great final weekend of the season.
Here’s the Snow Depth Map to give you an idea of the areas with the best snow in the U.P. and Northern Lower Michigan. (A lot of deep snow out there.)

Postings From Trail Report Pages On Facebook
The rail-trail section from Jackson Road to Country Club Road in Ironwood received some much needed shaping and is PAID FOR BY CLUB FUNDS AS THIS TRAIL IS NOT YET A MDNR ORV TRAIL APPROVED TO RECEIVE ORV TRAIL-PERMIT FUNDING. Dean Pearson construction & logging worked all day reclaiming gravel and doing what he could to reestablish ditches for drainage issues. Please stay off the trail due to on-going work, many large rocks, roots and logs could be on the trail awaiting a final skimming clean up run. We will have up-coming club trash pick up events as well as a signing event. We need more active members! PLEASE join us at our next event and feel how good it is to do something together for a greater good. Sacrifice an afternoon working with new friends instead of riding, it is key to our future trail expansions! #joinus #thisclubbuildstrails #dogoodfeelgood
#miweatherSteady rain, sleet, and snow mix continues across parts of Upper Michigan tonight. As a low passes to the south tonight, expect additional precipitation to move through the UP from the west. As precipitation diminishes, fog will likely develop in the higher terrain areas.
More snow for the Upper Peninsula.... #miweatherNever ending 2018/19 snow season 🙈. I promise I stopped MY snow dance ❄️💃after the last dumping. My shoes 👠 are tucked away until at least October! 😂.

I'm moving. In October I retire just bought a new sled love to fish all seasons. But your state turned on Ted nugget. I dont understand why God loving Americans would disagree with this perfect example of the American dream.
Mike Bradford do you believe this shit🤣
How much is still on the ground?
Pray for snow
Last of the remaining snow from the 2018 / 2019 season.... #snowphotos #miweatherClear skies today allowed for a beautiful view of the remaining snow over the western and central Upper Peninsula.
Compare to April 23rd: www.facebook.com/NWSMarquette/photos/a.214878638542035/2620542954642246/?type=3&theater

Nathaniel Leitl Matthew Rickert Scott Rickert Kyal M. Mueller put em away to soon boys!! Could be rippin up the lodge !!!
Snow in the forecast for the first day of May.... #miweatherNew month…same weather. May starts off with, you guessed it, more rain and snow mix. There could be a light slushy accumulation for the Wednesday morning commute, especially over the higher elevations of the interior U.P. Sunshine – and warmer temps – finally return by the end of the week.

Is there any snowpack left up there? Anyone riding off trail?
Hunter Whitaker
