Our groomers were out last night on Trail 3 north and south from Toivola to Mass City! Trail 13 and 12 out of Mass City and Greenland were not groomed due to icy hills, but are being reported as in good condition. Wet and thin areas are also being reported! Ride with caution and enjoy these final days of riding!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Potentially historic, record-breaking snowfall between 1 and 3 feet expected across all of Upper Michigan. Highest storm total snow expected in the central and east. Greatest potential for 4 feet is the high terrain of north-central. Strong winds and heavy snowfall rates will result in a long duration of blizzard conditions. Widespread impacts: dangerous to impossible travel, power outages, prolonged recovery time.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ EPIC SNOW STORM ALERT! ❄️
We’re looking at upwards of 3 feet of snow to fall in the higher elevations of Porcupine Mountains 🌨️ The snowmobile trails were already in incredible shape, but this storm is about to make them absolutely legendary.
Late-season shredders and riders, this might just be the best conditions we’ve seen in years. Trails are primed, slopes are deep, and the winter fun isn’t slowing down anytime soon!
Here’s a few pictures from just before the storm hit. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> One of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.
Key Notes:
•Snow begins to work into Michigan late tonight, but becomes more widespread during the early morning hours of Sunday. This snow continues through Tuesday morning for the UP, and becomes a snow/freezing rain/sleet mix for northern lower Michigan beginning Sunday afternoon/evening.
•Winds will gust between 40-60mph statewide both on Sunday and Monday.
•This will be a full on blizzard for much of the Upper Peninsula
•Expect scattered power outages across the state
•Travel will be near impossible for the UP and northern lower
Snow totals will be between one and four FEET when all is said and done on Tuesday in the UP. Further south, a mix is expected which will keep accumulations lower, and also will provide a sharp cutoff of accumulations. The difference between a foot of snow and 2” may be the width of one county.
Further south, this system will end as snow for lower Michigan on Monday & Tuesday, which is why we have a wide area within a trace to an inch, and western lower in a 1-3” zone with wording of higher totals possible. We may need to adjust totals here as new data comes clearer for Tuesday.
Stay tuned for the icing portion of this forecast. Northern lower Michigan will see significant icing which is not shown or communicated in this forecast graphic or write up. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOne of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 🤔Where do you plan to ride after this next Sunday/Monday storm arrives?! 💨❄️
😳 We received another 12+ inches of snow yesterday for a total of 35 over the last 6 days! A season total of 325 inches- already topping last years entire season total! 👏
⚠️ If you are trying to arrive prior to the storm, hopefully you are on your way, as conditions do not appear to be safe to travel on Sunday and Monday!
Forecasters are saying this storm has the potential to be record breaking! 🥇 No matter how much we actually receive, conditions are going to be epic……. AFTER clubs have the opportunity to get out and groom the trails! Remember, during blizzard like conditions, the operators safety is always considered first!
Brent Mason decided to get back up here yesterday and conditions did not disappoint! Brent shared these photos with us! Thanks as always, Brent for everything you do to help support the clubs and community while in the Keweenaw! #keweenaw #snowphotos
