We did suffer some snow depth loss with the warm nights that we had. The good news is that our trails did not lose all their snow.-soft & watery. The next good news is that we are back in business. Since 12/15/14 at 4AM until now, we have received colder temps (YEA) and somewhere between 7 and 10 inches new snow. Hard to tell because of blowing. According to reports, we should be continuing to receive more. Our groomers did run last night and accomplished as much as possible, avoiding wet areas to give it more time to freeze up again. Snowmobiles running over these areas is a good thing to help get these places frozen solid again.

We will update here as reports come in even tho it could mean reporting more than once a day. AND we’ll try real hard to keep our thumbtack green.

If you have any questions on conditions between these reports, 906-288-3404 and we’ll tell you the best we can.

Under trail conditions on the right side of this page we aren’t given in-between choices to click but in our 138 miles, we go from fair to very good conditions. Trail #3 is very good.

Thinking we might have to do the Heikki Lunta dance again this year.

To date, official NOAA snowfall for Twin Lakes is 89 inches.

Have fun & be safe. Ride with caution at all times.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are officially open. The groomers are out working on the trails. Conditions are early season as 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 been identified.

The protective mat on the Portage Lift Bridge between Houghton and Hancock will not be installed until the middle of January. It is safe to cross the on the metal grating and will do no damage to your sled, just please drive carefully until the mat is installed.

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

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 snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.

Please be aware that if you snowmobile on U.S. Coast Guard property you could face federal trespass charges.
