KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western & Southern UP Trail Reports – 01/15
Jeff Leary, Andy Burns and crew just shared these photos with us after enjoying a stop at Omer’s Golf Course Bar, Restaurant, and Rental Cabins of Trail 3 from Mass City to South Range.
They said, Trail 3 from Mass City to South Range was good to fair. It got ugly when we got North of South Range. There are some bare corners coming out of Mass City. We enjoyed a great lunch at Omar’s. Do your snow dances!
It’s awesome to se people out making the best out of their trips!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports - Some are still being caught off guard attempting to ride out to High Rock Bay, we’ve tried to share photos often and caution ⚠️ riders but not everyone sees the information.
If you’d like to know what High Rock looks like without taking your sled through a “sled wash” as Dean jokingly referred to this crossing, please take a peek at his photos!
Dean thought trails were in fair condition but rideable only due to the lack of snow.
He said 134 back to Mohawk was a better ride.
It’s obvious from photos the area is in need of snow, but it is also nice to see others are making the best they can out of their trips!
Still hopeful this season will make a turn for the better S❄️❄️N! Keep doing those snow dances .... and hey.... step it up a bit!!😂 ... #keweenaw #snowphotos
Well,you might as well say there's no snow in the U.P.well now I can say my fountain of youth has dried up.😪
Why the hell would u ride a sled in that shit in first place. There is no way I would ride mine through it or even in that snow condition.
That poor snowmobile...
If ya'll would just stay home and be patient we all could ride a lot sooner 🙄
Matthew Valentino
Puddle jump. Throttle out with a dirty sled. No worries
Dan Pysh Greg Artes looks like we got to them before it all went to shit
Garrett Hemann
Thanks for sharong
I would think a person would no that the trails are not good enough to ride just by the weather in the last 2 weeks

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Slow moving system will bring the region some snow today. It doesn't look like ‘the big one', but we should still get a few inches of wet snow. The best spots will be close to the WI/MI stateline and west of Marquette into the Michigamme Highlands. Places near the lakeshores could see some rain mix in with the snow. Tonight, light snow will continue.... #MIWeather #westernup #keweenaw #Marquette #munising #newberrySlow moving system will bring the region some snow today.

Are the trails open?
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Light snow will move into Upper Michigan late tonight and there could be some freezing drizzle as well. Snow will continue through Friday and in terms of snow amounts, not much change from this morning's forecast with generally 1-3 inches for most areas. Less amounts will be possible over the Far East and Keweenaw and could have some locally higher amounts in the higher terrain of Marquette and Baraga Counties.... #keweenaw #westernup #MarquetteLight snow will move into Upper Michigan late tonight and there could be some freezing drizzle as well.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Unfortunately for snow-lovers, forecast snow amounts for this week's storm are trending down. Light snow is still expected to move in from the south late tonight and continue Friday, but it will be light and intermittent with only minimal accumulations expected. Additional lake-effect snow is likely in the north wind snow belts – particularly the higher elevations of Marquette County – Saturday and Saturday night... #MIWeather #westernup #keweenaw #Marquette #munising #newberryUnfortunately for snow-lovers, forecast snow amounts for this week's storm are trending down.

Unless there’s a huge turnaround, this winter could be the last straw for me. Sell all but one of my five machines and just fully switch everything to dirt toys. I have way too much time and money wrapped up into these flipping sleds to get 4 to 6 weeks a year out of them. I try not to get pissed about things that are out of my control but what a joke.
1 to 3 In the middle of January

We’re fucked
Head out west
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Above normal temperatures continues today with interior locations approaching 40 degrees for highs. But winter returns late tomorrow. By tomorrow evening, snow will be moving in. While this does not look like a big storm, it will be enough snow to make for difficult travel Thursday night and Friday morning over the western and central U.P.... #MIWeather #westernup #keweenaw #Marquette #munising #newberry #Soo

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - High pressure will result in mild and generally dry conditions today into Wednesday. A storm system approaching from the Canadian Prairies and the Northern Plains will then spread snow into Upper Michigan from west to east on Thursday... #MIWeather #westernup #keweenaw #Marquette #munising #Seney #newberry #SooHigh pressure will result in mild and generally dry conditions today into Wednesday.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports - Please note: Update from Glenn Rowe - Keweenaw Snowmobile Club Trails - “As of today the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club has suspended grooming due to low and snerty conditions, along with rain today, we have gone into full conserve mode. We are very sorry for this, but we can't afford to totally destroy our trails. We will resume as soon as we get snow.” #keweenaw #snowphotos
