This is the Keweenaw Snowmobile Trail System Report for Wednesday, January 6, 2016.

Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open. The groomers are out today and conditions are early season. More snow is needed.

Any trail usage should be done with extreme care until we have better snow cover as there are rocks, stumps, branches and wet areas not covered by snow and hazards that have not yet been identified.

Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails, they have the right of way!!

Please keep out of the Houghton City RV Park!

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the trails are there for riders’ safety. Please DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.

All of our trails have been groomed once except wet areas between Soo and Kinross. The snow is very thin and lots of water holes yet. If we put the groomer thru there it would make it impassable for snowmobiles. Right now you can get around them, we need cold weather to get them froze! We have opened all the gates and spent many hours clearing trees so you can ride, but again low snow and wet areas.

If you go for a ride there is not much base and you will find wet spots and maybe a tree or two so ride with care!

Join us for our Pancake breakfast Jan 16th at the clubhouse 830 am – 11 am, suggested donation of $5. Come by car or sled.

If you are staying in the Sault please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!!!!!!

We now have a marked trail that will be groomed on occasion to get to parts and service at Chippewa Motors. it comes into the back of their lot from the east side of M-129 when you come out of the woods.

Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 6 inches of snow compresses to less then a inch on the trail.
