If it keeps that up we might have a decent weekend coming up. I ran up to Gaylord last night and saw the gaylord groomer on the trail by otsego lake. Pics below are from that. Have only seen a few sleds today. Keep up the snow chants, we still need it. Thanks for checking in. Pete... #gaylord #grayling #snowphotos

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports - Finally took a well deserved day off of grooming today. We had a dusting of snow and a cold 10° today. Trails are holding up quite well considering the high traffic this past weekend.
The first 2 pics are from my run yesterday along the canal and the last one is close to a mile of untouched trail coming into Painesdale. It has to be a first, I groomed from Painesdale to Atlantic Mine and didn't see one snowmobile. That's close to 3 miles and going through South Range.
☠ Stretch ... #keweenaw #snowphotos
We’ll be going through there tomorrow,will you be grooming it in the morning? Please and Thank You!!!😊
IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club - Groomers were out all night again and trails rated very good to excellent! We have received at least a foot since end of last week, its perfect out there! It's amazing how much less grooming trails need when you groom them at the right time. Our volunteers lose their sleep to groom trails late at night to create a better trail for everyone and it helps save program dollars by not requiring extra "PR" day time runs (when riders should be riding and groomers should be thawing).

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association - Good Morning! I received a message from Steve this morning after their run down 49 last night. Here’s what he had to say-
“Dennis and I shared a run last night.
Trail 49 from the Soo to Kinross is getting better with each grooming run.
We had enough snow to load the drag and drop snow in the low spots.
The trail has seen a lot of traffic but overall is in great condition.
Steve Lawson”
Thanks guys! It’s great to know that all sections of all of our trails are able to be groomed safely now! ❄️❄️❄️
Be safe out there today and tonight if you’re riding. Wind chills are forecasted to be in the -30s... #soo #snowphotosGood Morning! I received a message from Steve this morning after their run down 49 last night. Here’s what he had to say-

More snow coming today with a Winter Weather Advisory. The trail system in an overall very good condition, good in towns and near roadways. Groomer Operators are still getting very good results. With a machine down, Operators are picking up extra miles in both our John Deere’s to try and keep the trail grooming un-interrupted.

Our Operators really appreciate it! Get out and ride safe, stay right and enjoy the great riding conditions! Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club - Trail Report: 1-24-22
Building that base! We have a winter weather advisory for 3-6 inches of fresh white gold. It is currently starting to snow with more to come. The trails are starting to get better with some snirty areas. Traffic this weekend was moderate in the area and the groomer drivers are reporting that they are starting to get something to work with (see pic). Trails are currently rated as fair to good with some ice in the corners. On another note, a boogie wheel was found in the Rasho road drop zone incase anyone is looking for it (pic attached). Send us a IM if it's yours. As always, Ride Right, Ride Sober, Ride Safe... #traversecity #snowphotos
We need pink
STRAITS AREA UPDATE via Straits Area Snowmobile Club - Groomer Al, Groomer Bobby and Groomer Chris all ran last night. New snow we received over the last few days has helped a lot. Overall all of our trails are flat and firm with a little bit of loose snow on top as of the time of this update. South end of Carp River Truck Trail is being plowed for logging so while snow covered and definitely rideable it is thin. Also a little thin in the twistys near Cut River but still no problem riding or cooling. All of our trails will be groomed again tonight. Enjoy, be safe and ride right! ... #straitsarea #snowphotosGroomer Al, Groomer Bobby and Groomer Chris all ran last night. New snow we received over the last few days has helped a lot.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports - It’s a bit of an unknown fact that some of the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club groomer operators that pour so much time and energy into providing awesome trails for us all to ride, have never had the opportunity to ride the trails themselves!
Chad VanBennekom and Ryan LaPorte provided the opportunity for Groomer Operator Connor Doll to get out and actually ride on the trails he grooms!
Chad said, “Flat and Fast! Trails are amazing today! Riding with Ryan and Connor Doll, doing a little quality control on grooming operations today. This is the first time Connor has ridden the trails he works on!” ... #keweenaw #snowphotos

FREDERIC / GRAYLING / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling - Saturday it snowed all day, gave us about 4 to 6 inches of new fluffy snow which made things alot better.

We still need some good system snow to help with the base but we have to start somewhere... #grayling #gaylord #snowphotos

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association - While you were sleeping, groomer Sugar Island Chris was out on 8 between Brimley and Raco as well as 889, the Mission Hill Overlook loop, and the Bay Mills Casino connector. It was a 10.5 hour groom, whipping these trails back into shape after another VERY busy day out there.
Groomers are also out on other trails so please watch for them.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports - We aren’t sure if you’ve heard yet…but it has been snowing like crazy here on Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula for the past week and the trails are in excellent condition! S❄️ many riders are sending in their photos and reviews on trails!
Dustin Kato and crew of 11 are just one of MANY groups singing praises about the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trails!
Dustin said, “I just wanted to say that every experience I have had here has been phenomenal! So far I have been here two times! Each year it was the same day of the same month! It has been another awesome trip! We rode from Houghton all the way to Copper Harbor to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula! We stopped at the Lac La Belle Lodge / Bear Belly Pit Stop for fuel and and had lunch at the The Mariner North restaurant. The food was awesome and the service was even better! Trails were great throughout the whole entire ride! We came across groomers twice. My entire group of 12 put on a total of 150 miles!”
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and comments on riding Dustin! We are so glad you all enjoyed your trip! .. #keweenaw #snowphotos

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club - Trail Report: 01-22-22
It's currently snowing with a winter weather advisory for 3-5 inches of snow today. We have snow in the forecast for the next three days.. All trails were panned/groomed last night. Groomer Ben rated the Peegeos trail poor to fair. Ben groomed the power lines for the first time this year and had to cut them so sand was showing through last night. Groomer Chad did the Kalkaska route and reported fair to good conditions with some thin spots, snow was better near Kalkaska, pictures attach. Groomer Mike did the Fife Lake run and reported the same. All groomers will be running again tonight so please look out for them and give them a thumbs up if you see them. That's all for now, remember to Ride Right, Ride Sober, Ride Safe. ... #traversecity #snowphotos

IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club - We were down several guys last night, but we still managed to groom trail 2 Ironwood to Korpela rd intersection with 11 and our AOR of trail 8. Image from trail 8 bump eradication mission last night. Expect bumpy conditions today due to lots of fresh snow, it was absolutely puking in Wakefield at 6:15am. High winds is leading to drifting which will also cause bumps to form. Snow is thin around Indianhead Mountain, but the ski hills are in good shape overall. We continue to experience a lot of late night throttle jockeys blasting freshly groomed trails at 1am. PLEASE go easy on trails when you see us out there late. We are losing sleep to give folks the best ride we can give them and you really cramp our style when you roast a freshly groomed trail. We plan to get out earlier this afternoon to try and set up some nice evening cruising! Enjoy your Saturday!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports - How far would you travel in extreme cold temperatures for a famous tostada pizza at the Ambassador? theambassadorhoughton.com/home
Carrie Conway and crew set out early yesterday morning for a beautiful but brisk 260 mile round trip trail ride to Houghton, Michigan from Iron Belt, Wisconsin. They stopped at two of their favorites, Hoop N Holler Tavern and The Mosquito Inn before reaching their destination of The Ambassador for a delicious tostada pizza!
Carrie shared these photos and comments, “At 8am this morning we started out in Iron Belt, Wi (real feel of -31°)! We rode all the way over to Houghton, MI to eat at the Ambassador! Then back to the Motel around 9pm. Put on over 260 miles today there and back! Trails were great the entire way there, with the exception of a few thin areas in the woods when we started out.”
What a beautiful day for a ride! Thanks for sharing your photos with us! We are so glad you enjoyed your day! ... #keweenaw #snowphotos

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club - Trail Report: 01-20-22
We received some lake effect snow last night. We went out to inspect the trails and took a few pictures. Depending on where you are on the trail system you will find at least 3 inches and in some areas 6 inches of fresh snow. Trails up by Kalkaska and in the valley were in better shape. Due to the limited base I would still rate the trails as poor but every little bit helps. The groomers will be heading out this weekend to pan the trails. The forecast calls for 1-3 on Saturday and lake effect on Sunday and more of the same on Monday. Let's all hope that this continues, it was nice getting out for a ride today. That's all for now, remember to Ride Right, Ride Sober, Ride Safe... #traversecity #snowphotos
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports - Sean and Lexi Diederich spent a full day riding Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula!

Great photos! Thanks for sharing! It has truly been an awesome two weeks straight of excellent trail conditions as reported by MANY riders!
