KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE... #snowphotosReally hated to have the sun go down and usher in the ending to an amazing day of riding in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula!
It was truly a T-shirt kind of day to ride under bluebird skies with temperatures well into the 50s! (Or even for some - just a pair of shorts out on the beach π Dave) Trails were in amazing shape with very few bare or wet spots. The bare spots were mainly found on the top of the trail crossing Brockway Mountain. Trail 3 from Toivola to Copper Harbor, trail 134, 135, 124, 130 and 151 were in great late season condition for the majority of the day. I did not personally ride trail 132 but a few groups that did said it was still in decent shape even though grooming was discontinued early last week on that trail.
By late afternoon/early evening trail 3 south from the intersection with trail 134 was pretty bumpy, which was to be expected with the warm temps and amount of traffic. There was not any grooming last night due to how warm it was.
I was able to speak to the south end trail boss this morning and he stated that trail 17, trail 3 from Houghton to Toivola and back to Dollar Bay would be groomed tonight. I was not able to get in touch with the north end trail boss, but grooming should resume now that temperatures have dropped below freezing again. The Dreamland trails maintained by the Valley Sno Drifters have discontinued grooming.
Today the trails are pretty hard packed and can be icy in areas due to the temperatures dropping last night after the warm-up yesterday.οΏΌ This can present a problem for some sleds to be able to stay cooled.
Roads and parking lots are pretty much bare in towns and at establishments. Trail 124 from Phoenix/Vansville to Gay does not require much road riding and there is fuel at each location. Lac la Belle And Copper Harbor also offer fuel, however both locations require a good amount road riding.
I had friends staying at The Trailside Lodge, right on trail 17 and I can highly recommend this location for lodging, especially late season.
I have shared some of my photos and some that other riders were so kind to share with the page, along with their reports of riding yesterday!
If you are riding today we would love to see some of your photos and hear your reports!

GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. - Ran the East run Saturday, trail 8 towards pine stump..... With the abundant sunshine, warm temperature and lots of traffic..... this definitely equals a soft, ripped up trail. It was wet and gummy at the start so I was just skimming with the front blade and panning with the drag it was working ok. As the night went on, I could cut a little more. I can say the trail is still soft, but a lot smoother. Enjoy another day of riding.... #snowphotosRan the East run Saturday, trail 8 towards pine stump.....

FREDERIC / GAYLORD / GRAYLING AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling - Its a quiet sunday morning in Frederic at ten a.m. and 37 degrees. Snow is slowly melting off. There were about a dozen sleds into here yesterday.

Those that did ride said it was really pretty decent out. .... #snowphotos

JORDAN VALLEY UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council - This picture says it all, the sun has set on our grooming season. Trails are still 100% rideable and covered with either ice or snow besides 131 which is ice covered but as it warms up beware of slushy spots. Plenty of riding to be done but there just isnβt enough snow to warrant us running the groomers.... #snowphotosThis picture says it all, the sun has set on our grooming season. Trails are still 100% rideable and covered with either ice or snow besides 131 which is ice covered but as it warms up beware of slushy spots. Plenty of riding to be done but there just isn’t enough snow to warrant us running the groomers. Both groomer operators today had the same opinion of the trails and the conditions of them.
We greatly appreciate the riders that have come and enjoyed our trails and shared their experience with us as well everyone that donated to our groomer drivers, gave them a thumbs up or stoped and gave them snacks. Most of all thank you to all our volunteers that make this program happen, we couldn’t do it without them! See ya’ll in December!

IRONWOOD AREA / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club - 160 water hazards and there are 3 stretches of road to run that will be tough if you can't ride up on the banks. It was cold yesterday and most hazards froze up hard last night. But today they will all break open and really start flowing. Safest rides would be trailering to Wakefield (ski hill reroute road routes are brutal) and riding to Marenisco. The northern end of the trail is gorgeous!!! ... #snowphotos160 water hazards and there are 3 stretches of road to run that will be tough if you can't ride up on the banks.

GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. - Did the Late South run again Fri. night. Groomed trails 443, and 88 East of Hwy. M77. These trails are in decent shape. The colder temps hardened/set up the trails. They groomed up smoothly. You'll still find pesky moguls at some inside corners. Of course.... I always want to get the corners flatter.... #snowphotosDid the Late South run again Fri. night. Groomed trails 443, and 88 East of Hwy. M77. These trails are in decent shape.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails - Well, the trail is over all in great shape. With the exception of a few water holes, and tonight I found a sink hole. I fear we won't be able to groom much longer. Temps will be warm again this coming week. The sink hole wasn't there when I first went through, and it was the weight of the tractor that broke it free. It was a 2' deep hole. I was able to fill it in, however there was water in the bottom and it most likely won't hold. This will most likely be the last weekend of smooth trails from us.... #snowphotosWell, the trail is over all in great shape. With the exception of a few water holes, and tonight I found a sink hole.

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.
Got an extra sled? Barb
Paul Schlegel dang we should go tomorrow.
We are riding tomorrow for sure, thanks for the update.

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.
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.
That's awesome jason!!
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!!!!
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
Just sat down here! We left S. Higgins, N to Fredrick then Ostego, back brown thru Lakes of N. & it's been all good!
We still have snow coming down an we are at 10in here an lots wind an whiteouts in the charleviox area

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.
Nice! We will be up later staying with you!!
Coming up in the morning where a good place we can park and do some off trail riding??
LETS RIDE Chad Hedquist, should we go up monday?
Marky Rodga's another foot in 24 hours

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 π
:( sad sad day

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
Located on trail 498 across from wolf inn, Windy Corners #13 on trail map.
Larry you waited too long before you started the Dance I am not in that area now. I sure hope you get your timing in better order next year for me! ;)
Nice to see scripture being referenced.
I am missing this place. Maybe mushroom hunting time we will make it.
See you in two Brother.
See you guys next weekend! Can't wait
Where u located
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
