KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 3/15
Well here comes the warmer weather 😥. Today’s high is forecasted to be 46 degrees and the rest of the week is similar. Tim Lund is up riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula and is enjoying what are still amazing trails and very low traffic! Tim is staying at the Super 8 of Houghton Tim shared some photos and comments from his ride yesterday. Tim said, “Solo ride today, trails were amazing, flat & fast, from Houghton to Copper Harbor, with several stops, put almost 150 miles on.”
All reports from other riders were excellent also! Trails are in great condition heading into the warmup. Keweenaw Snowmobile Club has announced a reduced grooming schedule for the rest of the season due to the influx of above freezing temps. Grooming operations will return for weekends IF weather and conditions permit. Sadly, after this week we are definitely approaching the end of the 2021/22 season for many riders. Trails running on pavement, through towns etc will be bare if the forecast holds true. Road crossings and parking lots will also become bare. Does that mean there is not any riding left to be done…..NO! I’m sure we will still run into many of the other late season riders out there!
Thanks for sharing Tim! We hope your ride today is just as amazing as yesterday!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western Up Trail Reports…. 3/15
Sunday is definitely not looking good. From my past experience with a week of warm weather the trails will begin to show signs of spring. We still have a base close to 30" in the Toivola area but I can assure you there are spots that are a lot thinner. So after this coming weekend those thin spots will get sloppy and even have standing water in spots. I can only hope to get a couple rides in my new sled before the season ends. You know me being honest but I hope I’m not accurate on this one. ☠Stretch
PS. I will not be grooming the rest of this season due to the weather.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 3/15
Donnie finished his last run for the season and possibly our last run for the season depending on the weather. Our west end by Little Lake will be the quickest to degrade. We will monitor it and update if it gets too thin to safely ride. Our east end by Chatham will hold for a while and we will do what we can as the weather allows. Beware of icy conditions on corners. It was a good season. Keep riding as long as trail conditions and gas prices allow you too and we will watch the weather in hopes of extending your riding season. Ride right and ride safe!

Trails are grooming out good but with the sugary snow they still get choppy throughout the day. A stretch of warm weather is coming so after tonight grooming operations may be put on hold. In the mean time get out and enjoy the snow and some great late season riding.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE VIA TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Our newest operator is catching on quick! Reinforcements from Pennsylvania have arrived also! We are hitting it hard for this weekend with a short preventative maintenance window planned for the machine on Saturday. Temps are warming up during the day, making the trail soft and letting moguls form, but temps will drop again for the weekend! That means better trails for Saturday. Looks warm for the start of next week with temps near 30 by Tuesday. Get out and ride while the riding is good! Ride right and ride safe! #munising#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
