KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club – 3/31
March 31st is here and this is the last official day of the 2021/22 season. Trails running through private land will be closed after today. Trails running on state land do not close. Within the KSC trail system that is trail 17 from Calumet to Hancock and trail 3 running south of Houghton that do not close to snowmobile traffic. These trails are open to ORV traffic.
Our snow “storm” sure didn’t pan out…. Keweenaw County only recorded 4.5 inches of fresh snowfall and a total of 305.5 inches for the season so far. There is definitely not a lack of snow though for those of us out enjoying the trails today!
Reid Berman has been up riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula for the past week and half 😳 and shared these photos from this morning. Reid said, “It’s pretty good out here, a few bumps, but they are minor. It has been good riding!”
Hope anyone that has the opportunity to ride today enjoys the day!

FROM US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> With meteorological summer underway, here’s a look back at how the 2021-2022 snowfall season stacked up across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Season totals were much higher than the 2020-2021 season which featured well below normal snowfall. Overall, the 2021-2022 snow season was around normal to around 30 inches above normal across the U.P.... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquettte #seney #munising #newberyy #soo #straitsarea

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports - I have to say that today was probably THE hardest “official” ending to a season I have ever personally experienced!
Riding home tonight from a delicious meal at the The Mariner North, after an absolutely perfect day of riding and experiencing this view as we rounded a corner was breathtaking! Most of the day was cloudy, windy and snowing, so this view was a surprise!
It’s hard to say it’s “over” when the trails are still in good condition and there is a ton of snow! Usually the end of the season comes with wet areas, bare spots on the trails and less than desirable overall conditions but we always “push through” and keep riding until the end! Today felt more like the end of February than the last day that the trails are officially open!
What a great season this was! A HUGE thank you to all of the private land owners, Keweenaw Snowmobile Club, groomer operators, service industry employees, lodging establishments, restaurants, bars and ALL businesses that make riding Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula a favorite destination for so many riders! #keweenaw #snowphotosI have to say that today was probably THE hardest “official” ending to a season I have ever personally experienced!

It was a great year for all the people and businesses in the great North
DNR should step up and expand the season in the u.p. after all the bad years. It wouldn't be the first time
Nick Klarner, looks like we missed out on some great late season riding!
Beautiful Thank you for sharing and being there to capture this
Great year
Beautiful ❤️
Beautiful picture
Man is that a nice picture
Sean Butler look at those trails!!!!
Trails should stay open longer ! What would it hurt
The lower was so dissapointing this year. First time in years I put 0 miles on my sleds.
