SNOW GAUGE REPORT: EXTRA! EXTRA! The Groomer is out on the trails for the second time in 24 hours! We have updated the Snow Gauge Report to show the accumulation from yesterday’s storm. The snow currently stands at 9 inches on the ground in protected areas, more where it has drifted and less where it was blown off by the wind that came with the snow.

SNOWMOBILING FANS: The Groomer is out and reports he is leaving a nice trail behind him as he works his way over the trail system. The trails will be officially open as soon as he comes in from grooming the entire system. A more complete report of exact conditions will be posted at that time.

INTERNATIONAL ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA: The *building* of the ice bridge will not happen until Saturday, January 22nd. Customs will officially open the route on Sunday, January 23rd. Keep watching – you will hear it here first!

CROSS COUNTRY SKIING FANS: All trails are OPEN! Yesterday’s storm brought much needed snow. The Rainbow Trail system has been groomed. The fresh snow is exhilarating!

SNOWSHOEING FANS: All trails are open for snowshoeing! It’s GREAT to be a Northerner when the snow is fresh and deep!

ICE SKATING FANS: The local rink is open and waiting! Grab your skates, a thermos of hot cocoa and head down to the Townhall. The ice is slick and fast!

9.5 inches over the weekend – and it’s still snowing. Both cross country and snowmobile trails are in great shape! A reminder to snowmobilers – please stay off the ice!!! Use the bridge! A rider went through the ice on Portage Lake last week -not a good thing!

The snowmobile trails from TwinLakes to CopperHarbor are open, and groomers are out working on them. Trails are reported to be in good to very good condition except for the High Rock trail which is in poor to fair condition due to low snow.

Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails…….they have the right of way!!
There is logging on a short portion of Trail 133 between Gay and Lac La Belle.

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.
