Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/30
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western Up Trail Reports….
I finally got a day off so I just had to video Justin Rogan covering my end today. Looks like some Cold weather Sat. Sun. with snow in the forecast. We did pick up a little over 5″ the last couple days but with high traffic it’s hard to keep the trails in tip top shape.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports….
It has been an incredibly busy week riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula! Heavy traffic and low snowfall amounts have definitely affected the quality of trails over the course of the week.
The groomer operators worked hard all day Monday getting the Portage Lake Lift Bridge opened for snowmobile crossing. Tuesday they were able to fully open trail 122 for the first time this season. Wednesday and Thursday Trail Boss Scott Heikkinen and crew of groomer operators worked tirelessly attempting to keep machines operating and provide the best possible trails they could.
Chris Kopacz was up for his first trip of the season and shared these photos and comments about his trip with us – “Well the riding is completed for this trip to the UP. 463 miles total in. We made it to some great places as well. Trails were good considering the lack of snow and HEAVY traffic. Groomers were out doing the best they could. Can’t wait till the next trip up! The Keweenaw and the UP are such a magical place!”
I agree with you 💯 percent Chris – the Keweenaw IS a magical place! Thank you for taking the time to share photos and comments with us from your trip!

FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress.
The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall.
Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot.
Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey

FROM US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The first widespread lake effect snow event of the year is set to kick off tonight and last through Monday. The heaviest snowfall across the central U.P. will be highly contingent on where the strongest lake effect snowbands persist. Expect sharp snowfall gradients and rapid changes in road conditions impacting weekend travel and Monday commutes. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #newberry #seney #soo #straitsareaThe first widespread lake effect snow event of the year is set to kick off tonight and last through Monday.
