What an unfortunate season! We kept hoping for a spring break storm but it never happened and Sunday the trails are officially closed to snowmobiles. All we can do now is hope for a better year next year.
Thought you might be interested in these facts provided by Al Green our Trail Coordinator. [...]

Hi All. If I can’t ride my sled, I’m going to ride my ATV. The only snow that we have is just plow banks and where the sun hasn’t gotten to yet. Keep an eye on our ATV Report for everything about ATV’s on one of the largest trail systems. It was 65 degrees on [...]

Well folks, Spring is springing. Most of the snow in town is gone, only plow piles and mud remain as testament to winter’s passing. Ice shanty’s are being re-purposed as garden sheds. As bikes, scooters and quads move out, the sleds take their place in the back of the garage. Snow shovels and plows are [...]

It’s a gray, raining, foggy morning on the Keweenaw. Groomers will not be going out again until we get more snow or colder temperatures. Trails are soft and wet! Most cross country ski trails still have plenty of snow, but grooming has been much been suspended there too. Mont Ripley is closed today due to [...]

Drummond Island: The warmer temps the last few days, and more to come this week, is melting our 10" base from just a week ago, quite rapidly!……There is logging going on between the Quarry road to Canoe Bay ride with caution.
ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA IS CLOSED
Book 2 or more nights and get a night [...]

In all likelihood, this is your final report for the season, mainly because the bases are gone. Temps for the week will be in the 60’s with rain today. Because MI trails don’t officially close until March 31st, should we get an unexpected storm of two or three feet, we’ll be back and keep [...]

We’ve had 3" of new snow and it is blowing all over everywhere, snowing now and more forecast tonight. I just spoke with a guest who said the trails are "pretty good" and says he put 130 miles on yesterday. Rode from the resort to Grand Marais and it was "thin getting into [...]

There is a LOT of snow out in the woods and lots more riding to be had! Just plan on trailering out to staging areas and enjoy some warm weather riding in jeans and jackets like the locals. This could be the last weekend for riding so come on UP before you put those sleds [...]

Lake Effect snows…Drifting , trees down, etc….Trails are being groomed today starting around 3:00pm…the point trail (452) in being groomed now… Trails where left alone and not groomed last night as to let [...]

It looks like today will be our last day of cold weather for awhile. High today will be 25 so get out today for some last chance riding. Saturday thru all next week it doesn’t look good with temps in the 50’s. Riding for the entire area will be spotty. You will [...]

March 9th - 8:19 am - Colder today. 23.3 degrees here as I write this. Woke up to about two to three inches of new light and fluffy snow and it is snowing right now. NOAA is callin…g for two to four more inches today and very cold tonight - 6 or so degrees.
Warmer tomorrow [...]

We got about 2 inches of snow overnight. It continues to snow now. The snow advisory is in effect until 5 pm today. NOW is the time to ride! The snow covering the ice will make decent riding. It was cold all day yesterday, and will continue thru today. High tempt 26 degrees. Tomorrow the [...]

It’s a beautiful, "crisp" day on the Keweenaw today. About an inch or so of new snow last night to brighten things up. Groomers are out on both snowmobile and ski trails. It’s going to warm up starting tomorrow tho - springlike temps all next week. Maybe you want to be here right now! — [...]

Snowmobile Report: Ishpeming, MI
Date: 03/7/12
Trails-We have gotten a lot of new snow in March and the trails are in good condition. Tons of snow, regular grooming and less usage than normal equals nice riding conditions. Last chance to ride before the warm weather hits and the season ends.
Weather: Over 2 [...]

OK, not so good here. We are done out of Iggy. Trails would be ridable if you trailered to castle rock road, and you would have issues with the dam road when you got there. Thing is, all the rain turned everything to solid ice. Absolutely no snow to work with, so I am not [...]

03/08 - Trails are glare ice if it was a low snow area. There is some lift snow blowing and drifting around so slow down or you won’t make it around those slippery corners. Groomers are out in the deeper snow areas working in the icy snow mix back to smooth. - Via Sault Ste. [...]

I’m posting this because I’ve had a few calls-Still lots of snow here in the Pine Stump/Deer Park area. It was wicked warm yesterday and we had rain last night, but our gauge still shows 14" on the ground- it is deeper in the woods and further north. Saturday the snow was waist deep. [...]

Hi All. Get those ATV’s fired up. This may be the end of snowmobiling around here, but ATV riding will be a blast with the snow, ice, dirt and mud to play in and March 17th 2012 is Peacock LTD’s Snow Chicken 50 (2 miles south of us). It’s a fun run for ATV’s and [...]

OK, this winter has no doubt packed a blow to, not only us rental guys, but any business connected to snow related activities. As of this weekend we had 17′ of fresh snow and yes wet heavy snow at that. As a result the branches down over the trail are many, since all of the [...]

The high temp for today is 32 and Friday high of 28. Our overnight lows will be in the teens and 20’s. Saturday our temps are on the rise with 50’s all next week. Riding for the entire area will be spotty. You will find some good riding along with poor. Expect bare [...]

.Its turned cold overnight and the cold is going to stay with us thru Saturday. I doubt if the huge waterholes along trail 7 have frozen, but it has firmed up the snow. There is still good snow in the wooded areas, and off trail. They are showing lake effect for tomorrow perhaps 3 inches. [...]

Snow accumulation: 0 inches* (some in the forest–not much)
We lost the snow almost as quickly as it came. The trails are a mess if they exist at all. Where there is snow it’s slush or snirt–not a pretty picture. The White Pine is down to pavement. The Cadillac West/InTown Trail is mostly [...]

Hi All. Tons of wet heavy snow hit the area 3-3-12 and took out power in some areas because of downed tree, debris. They have been clearing the trails, but still use caution. This time of the year trail conditions can change by the hour, depending on the temp, sun and traffic, so be prepared [...]
