KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The Lakeshack >> 03/31
Today would be a great last day on the trails to cap off a great sled season
A sledder could have a great day riding from Mass City and north
The Portage lift bridge is already closed to cross on sleds so you would have to trailer over that to ride the Keweenaw trails but I’m sure there are some lucky snow lovers riding today
Check out the Shackiecam 24/7 right here looking out over Lake Roland in Twin Lakes
Have a great day

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 03/30
3/30/25 ❄️ KSC was out grooming yesterday, from Toivola to Copper Harbor. Trails are still holding up pretty good. Granted some spots thin/bare with this new snow over night helped for sure. Trail 3 is the ONLY trail you can ride a sled on from April 1st on, the others close down. The water is open and the bridge is closed so you have to trailer across the Houghton Lift Bridge. Have fun everyone, if you can get one more ride in – go for it! 🇺🇸⛄️❄️ www.kruppsresortmi.com

What a way to wind down a great 2024/25 season and there is actually more snow in the forecast!
It’s awesome to see so many riders out enjoying these awesome conditions. Last nights snowfall really freshened things up!
Groomers have also been out again!

Thank you to those out there working to keep the roads cleared and getting power back on. They are calling me for a heavy snowfall starting tonight now.

Snowing good in the Keweenaw and the trailers are rolling in! AmericInn Calumet is a great choice for lodging, located right on trail 17! — some areas got very little rain some got more. Lake Linden appeared to get a decent amount of rain prior to changing to snow. Copper Harbor a light mist. Conditions before rain/sleet/snow today were very good north of Calumet and pretty much perfect north of Phoenix with the exception of up Brockway Mountain. If the forecast hold and continues to snow like it is currently it should be much better even in most places..

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 03/28
Friday March 28th
We’ve got 3 days left in the season and I’m pretty sure the groomers are done for the year. Today started with a light mist around 10am and turned into a pretty solid rain all afternoon. Now at 7pm it’s a frozen sleet coming down. They are calling for about an inch of snow/sleet over night tonight. Not much tomorrow during the day but then tomorrow night we might see 2″-4″.
If you’re up for one last ride remember the Portage bridge is closed and ride with caution.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 03/28
What a great spring riding day it was yesterday! Trails from Hancock north to about Mohawk are true late season riding – bare spots, wet areas, exposed rocks etc….Mohawk to about Phoenix definitely not perfect but still great spring riding. Trail up Brockway totally “doable” if you want to head up for views but definitely exposed areas pavement, rocks etc.
Trail 122 and 133 sadly, not recommemd by our experience and other riders due brush (133) and low snow (122) Getting in and out of Gay on Wednesday was good but deteriorated quickly after. (Trail 124 from Phoenix to Gay is closed!
Trail 134 and 135 are like superhighways and literally best riding all season.
Who knows what this forecast is actually going to do as far as additional snowfall, but if you are looking for one last ride possibly on Monday, it could be awesome!
We saw probably 50 other riders and not one was regretting their decision to make this last trip! All seemed to be seasoned spring riders, which does make a difference.
Highly recommend staging from the The Drift Inn or even a location further north if you are planning one last ride! (Be sure to stop in today for their awesome Taco Pizza)
Trails running on private land close after the 31st. Trails on state land do not close – example – trail 3 running south out of Houghton! Plenty more across the UP! Know before you go!
The Portage Lake Lift Bridge is closed to snowmobile crossing.

ONTONAGON – MASS CITY – KEWEENAW PENINSULA via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/26
🔥 Last-Minute Late-Season Snowmobile Excellence! 🔥
Snowmobile season isn’t over yet! Trails from Mass City to Copper Harbor have been freshly groomed and are in excellent condition for some epic late-season riding. The bridge from Houghton to Hancock is closed so you’ll have to trailer across to get to the other side of the peninsula. While trails from Ontonagon to Greenland haven’t been groomed, it’s only a 10-minute trailer ride from Ontonagon to some of the best riding you’ll find this time of year.
This is your chance to put on some miles and smiles before the season wraps up! Don’t miss out—grab your sled and send it! ❄️🏁
📍 Stay with us at Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins for a perfect snowmobiling getaway right on Lake Superior! Call or message us to book your stay.

The Portage Lake Lift Bridge crossing remains closed, please plan accordingly if you’re planning a ride. “Early Season” conditions are present across the system, a lot of areas do have water opened up. Please ride with caution!

Long hours were put in yesterday – thank you to all Groomers that went out to make the trails smooth! Reminder trails before hand were hard on top/thin/bare in some areas. The bridge is NOT open to ride across from Houghton to Hancock and the canal isn’t safe to ride across. You will have to trailer across the Portage Lift Bridge – spring riding it will be worth it! We rode yesterday and it was fun! Before all the grooming! With the snow we got it covered the trails great and they groomed our smooth! Stay Right, Stay on Trail, Stay Safe & Have fun! 🇺🇸⛄️❄️

WATCH TILL THE END
It was an honor to meet Officer Kurtti today and be able to chat for a while. What an awesome job to ride the trails all year to serve and protect.
According to Officer Kurtti, the trails are in pretty good shape except for the reroute, and the wet spot outside Twin Lakes is frozen over. He also ran down 109 a little and said it was in good shape considering.
Ride Right and Ride Sober

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow ends over the north-northwest wind snow belts today. A couple more fluffy inches and some blowing snow is still expected over the north central and eastern U.P. this morning. A quick hitting system looks to bring 1 to 4 fluffy inches of snowfall tonight through Saturday morning. West to northwest winds as high as 45 mph are expected to make a return over the Keweenaw on Saturday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect snow ends over the north-northwest wind snow belts today.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Lake effect totals through Friday afternoon, December 19th, 2025 have been updated slightly to account for latest shifts in atmospheric conditions.
Discussion
As temperatures fall early Friday, moisture pools back in, mixed with colder air over the warmer lakes, turning on the lake effect machine for both of the Great Lakes that influence our normal lake effect zones. A respectable 1-3" to 2-5" is possible in the fairly typical areas shown on the map. The narrow lane of higher elevation across the Keweenaw Peninsula and Porcupine Mountains are most-likely to experience totals exceeding 6". You may have noticed our one main change was the expansion of T-1" over to the east side of the state just as a general precaution to any snow squalls that make it across the state. Not everyone will get a rogue snow squall, but it is in the odds for nearly everyone. A snow squall is a thin, but intense band of quick snow that can produce at least half an inch of snow in minutes time, while knocking visibility down from 10 miles, to a quarter mile in moments time. Additionally, a quick coating of snow may hide any ice that was able to form from the freeze later tonight. Lake effect snow and snow squalls are poised to start later this evening around 8 pm EST (earlier for the western UP), and run primarily through 1 pm EST Friday. A couple lake effect bands may last through 6 pm across northern Michigan near Gaylord, and the central UP near Munising.
Each area is never guaranteed the totals shown on the screen. This is why we call it a prediction. The totals that are shown however do have the greatest odds of occurring. Yes, we are still trying to find that crystal ball, but no luck to this point. Follow us here at Michigan Storm Chasers for forecast updates, and a little humor on the side, throughout the next few days, and as always, 365 days a year! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect totals through Friday afternoon, December 19th, 2025 have been updated slightly to account for latest shifts in atmospheric conditions.

It felt great tonight to be back in the saddle again. I just did a short run to get used to it but I'm ready to Rock & roll. I must say the trails are in the best shape I've seen in years. Hopefully it'll stay cold so we can keep the base we have right now.
