Reports from north of the bridge are saying Mohawk north is rideable!
But like I said yesterday ya better really love to ride!

Last night it was mid 20's and it's just 29 out now so it's hard as a rock!
We will leave from hear and head towards Toivola! It's enough snow in the woods here but driving north yesterday it looked much better in the woods!
I'll try to share some pics from the day on this post so you folks can feel jealous! Ha ha
Have a great day and stay tuned.......

Off trail prob won't be much fun till we get real warm to soften it up or a bomb of snow!
On a high note today is a bluebird day which makes Kruppys snowballs shine!
Have a great day!

8" fell today and it's still snowing. Calling for another 3" overnight. If you want to ride you certainly can. Groomers are NOT running but gates are open. Honestly for starting from zero the snow that fell last night is acting like a base and keeping the dirt from showing in most places. Spin the track you'll kick up dirt. This is down by the Ranch this evening.
We are riding tomorrow for sure, thanks for the update.
Paul Schlegel dang we should go tomorrow.
Got an extra sled? Barb

This is right about now. We're still at about 5 inches, because the snow switched to rain, then freezing rain and now we're back to snow. Bob said at about noon the roads weren't too bad but again, that was the time of rain. We will keep you posted.
We still have snow coming down an we are at 10in here an lots wind an whiteouts in the charleviox area
Just sat down here! We left S. Higgins, N to Fredrick then Ostego, back brown thru Lakes of N. & it's been all good!
That's awesome jason!!
robert grayson
Pretty to look at, I'm outside right now ,nice breeze going, so long have to go back in and turn ac down before it gets to chilly in there yuk yuk yuk globe AZ
Sooo 8-10 inches yet? thanks in advance. For the updates
JUST got back from Larry's Seven-Ski Inn an the roads are TERRIBLE. IF u do not have to go out I wouldn't go. Phone rang off hook from down staters asking about snow conditions. Had a group of 3 trailers that parked at Larry's who were from Ohio an they said the riding was pretty good. Had 2 more groups who came over from Gaylord an said trails were fine. SO with that being said YES it is still snowing out an a blowing. Bring it!!!!
Yes. I'm pretty shocked at the amount of people out tonight. I called Ryan off because i wasworried about him on the roads. He lives a long way away. We're getting kinda spanked right now because of that decision.
Thanks Chad. I think youre right there with the 8-10. We will be ready for you tomorrow.

Good morning Kruppers!
Well a foot of new snow here sure
Put a bigger smile on Kruppys face!
And just a bit north of us picked up 15+ inches!
People are scurrying to get that last ride in!
You know who you are! Ha ha
I was loosing hope to be able to carve through the beautiful UP woods one more time this year!
Today is that day!
Sadly I'm forced to work today and this weekend and won't be sharing any pics! I do have friends out riding and maybe I can share their pics later!
Temps are below freezing for now so at lease it won't all melt like some spring snows!
So if your a snow lover and have been suffering that end of season depression that a lot of us get! There is time! I know some of Kruppys fans have detailed the sleds and packed away in the trailer for the summer but know- it's go time! And they are on their way up here!
See ya soon!
Lots of downed trees due to the heavy wet snow. Any low spot that can collect water, has it! Picture from trail 120, Freda loop. Use caution, snow has settled a lot, the foot in Twin Lakes is down to about 7 inches as of this morning.
Coming up in the morning where a good place we can park and do some off trail riding??
Nice! We will be up later staying with you!!
LETS RIDE Chad Hedquist, should we go up monday?

Well Kruppers its been a weird season!
temps have been late Aprilish! its just 34 above out right now
but the snows have taken a big hit! Groomers are asleep till/if it cools off!
looks like the next couple nights it will be in the mid twenties and maybe can go back out but things are looking a bit grim!
John Dee's extended forecast is giving little to no hope and temps heading back to 50's Friday and beyond!
It goes like this:
for Northern Houghton & all of Keweenaw County
.:: March 9, 2016 ::.
TODAY...CLOUDY WITH LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE. TEMPS STEADY IN THE LOW 30'S. NORTH WINDS 5 TO 15 MPH.
TONIGHT...MOSTLY CLOUDY. LOW 26. LIGHT WINDS.
TOMORROW...PARTLY CLOUDY. HIGHS 38. LIGHT WINDS BECOMING NORTHWEST 5 TO 10 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON.
TOMORROW NIGHT...CLEAR. LOW 24.
FRIDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY. HIGH 50. SOUTHWEST WINDS 5 TO 10 MPH.
SATURDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY. HIGH 55.
SUNDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY, WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. HIGH 48.
MONDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. HIGH AROUND 47.
TUESDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY. HIGH AROUND 52.
Its just the first week of March so its possible we could get some big bombs yet! ''I like to keep my glass half full because I love to ride!"
Looks like fire roads might be the best riding for now!
Waterfalls should be something to see too!
ya Kruppy is a bit depressed too! And he has a giant fly tormenting him!
Keep your chins up snow lovers!
I wish I was reporting brand new groomer ribbons for you all!
Have a great night!
Thanks for the update 👍

Well we lost some snow but that snow dance I did last night might have worked. We have a good 3" of snow since this morning and still coming down. The week looking good to for snow. Thanks for a great winter so far, it great see all you snow junkies. Let's pray for a great March. Yooper Out!!!! Hey check this out...Give generously, for your gifts will return to you later. Divide your gifts among many, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead. When the clouds are heavy, the rains come down. When a tree falls, weather south or north, there it lies. If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. Ecclesiastes 11:1-4
Nice to see scripture being referenced.
See you in two Brother.
See you guys next weekend! Can't wait
Where u located
I am missing this place. Maybe mushroom hunting time we will make it.
Molto Grazia! Needed that one.

Big group going out today from Scarlett Machinery. Trails are in great shape. Groomers are out and keeping the trails safe and enjoyable for everyone. Colder temps for the weekend should make for great riding with more snow in the forecast. We have a few snowmobiles left this weekend for rent so get out and enjoy the trails! Www.bluesky-tvc.com
