Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 01/08
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 01/08
What is the most amount of miles you have put on a sled?!
Mike Aschliman brought the “OG Rev” up this trip and turned 10,000 smiles riding from Lake of the Clouds to Calumet!
Mike said, “There is definitely more snow south of the bridge. Well done groomers!”
Thanks for sharing Mike! We know you take real good care of that OG Rev!
Notes on Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trail system…
* Trails from Toivola to Mohawk have been groomed almost every night
* Trails 124 is closed for logging
* Trail 134 is a great option for visiting The Mariner North, Copper Harbor Fuel Stop, The Gas Lite General Store – The Genny etc in CH – Copper Harbor has received fresh snowfall also the last few days
* The Valley Sno Drifters/Dreamland Trails are not yet open to Dreamland Restaurant & Bar – but Dreamland is easily accessible by vehicle just down Bootjack Rd out of Lake Linden – Dreamland is a favorite of many!
Notes from the club per Visit Keweenaw website
* ⚠️”Trails north of Mohawk continue to require more snow before grooming can be made. Riding these trails may be considered challenging and the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club urges caution – icy conditions, rocks, thin or bare areas, water may still be present.”
* ⚠️”Keweenaw Snowmobile Club made an opening pass on Trail 133. It is extremely wet and not recommended to ride yet. More snow needed to freeze that trail in.”
* “There is not enough snow yet to groom trails 151, and 152”
* ⚠️”Trail 122 is passable, but ride with caution: expect low snow mixed with mud and early season conditions”

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Fletchy’s Otter Belly Lodge >> 01/08
Took an early morning ride south to see how it was! I think I was the second sled under the bridge! Honestly the best snow is from to twin lakes outside of that it’s rocky and thin! Keep doing your snow dances! Put in a couple hundred awesome miles!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Leone's Polaris >> Linda’s Trail Report
January 11, 2025
Jim and I had an easy day. We crossed the bridge and rode to Laurium and found a great spot for breakfast….Miner’s Cafe!! A nice 50 mile ride. The trails are holding up pretty well. Easy to see where the bridges used to be crossing the railroad line. Lots of history up here.
Others in our group rode to Rockland and back. They logged over 100 miles. They said that the last 40 miles or so were getting rough. It would be nice to get about another half foot or so of snow.
Tomorrow is moving day. We go to Munising for a few days to check out the trails there. #keweenaw #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A clipper system bringing snow to Upper Michigan will continue to do so. Expecting widespread 2-4 inches with potential for higher amounts in the Keweenaw and north of Lake Michigan. Tonight, lake effect snow brings more snow for the WNW to NW snow belts. Probabilities of seeing another 8 inches or more are above 50% in parts of the west and Keweenaw tonight into Monday night. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA clipper system bringing snow to Upper Michigan will continue to do so.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Favorable probability for below-normal temperatures continues into late January for much of the CONUS, supporting the likelihood of lake effect snow and continued ice growth along the shores of the Great Lakes. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaFavorable probability for below-normal temperatures continues into late January for much of the CONUS, supporting the likelihood of lake effect snow and continued ice growth along the shores of the Great Lakes.

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> SNOW TIME! Posted (Jan 11 2pm).
A clipper system comes in Sunday with impacts lasting into Monday. This is SNOW POTENTIAL Sunday AND Monday. Don't come at me 9am Sunday morning and say "where's my snow." lol.
As you can see the effects of this will vary GREATLY depending on where you are in the state.
We go from up to 1" for most areas in the light blue to about 1-3" at best for most of the Lower Peninsula. The west side gets more because of a quick shot of lake effect with gusty winds and cold temperatures. The U.P. is the bread winner here with the center of the low pressure hanging out over Lake Superior for a bout 24hrs. That will cause more lift which we need for snow to develop along with more lake effect due to strong winds and VERY cold air. It'll be a fluffy snow that piles up rather quick.
Winds will be very strong as times with a lot of cold air pouring in by Monday morning. Expect some areas in West Michigan to have wind chills as cold as -5 with the Western U.P. having wind chills as cold as -20. BRR!
