KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 3/14
Holy wah! 🤩 Definitely one of my favorite photos ever sent in by a rider is the first one in this group of shots from Ryan Bennet’s 377 mile ride today! (Be sure to click on it so it enlarges)
A lot of you probably saw one of our posts from Ryan’s ride yesterday, if you missed it can be found here https://www.facebook.com/100070685216408/posts/247924587573713/
Believe it or not, Ryan’s ride today seems to have “topped” that one! Ryan shared these AMAZING photos and details of his ride today! Ryan said, “Left Parkview – New Lodge and Grill in Twin Lakes at 7:30 this morning and headed south to Bruce Crossing for breakfast at Char’s Cafe. Trail 3 was beautiful all the way! Jumped on 8 and headed East, flat and fast. Covered a lot of ground in a hurry. Grabbed fuel at the The Sidnaw Station then ran to Ishpeming by noon. Continued on to Marquette, and ran down to Adventure Centre Arctic Cat. Turned around there and headed back “home”(meaning an area of the U.P. that Ryan is more familiar riding!)
Got fuel at Michigamme Market on the way back, then one more stop in Sidnaw before running up to Rousseau Bar because ya know…… its never too far!
Landed in Bergland tonight at Lake Gogebic Motel after coming back to Twin Lakes for fuel at Krupp’s Mini Mart and a quick stop in Greenland for food at the The Pit Stop Bar & Grill! Special thanks to The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club today! Trail 3 was perfect all day and I don’t think I’ve ever said that before! 377 miles today and only about 10 bad ones. One small section of 8 that the groomer can’t get to. Wet area. Everything else was easily great-excellent”
What a day Ryan! Thank you S❄️ much for sharing!
The forecast for all of these areas tgat Ryan has been riding is for over a goid foot of fresh snow to fall Thursday-Saturday too! 🤞 We can’t imagine what epic conditions there would be if the forecast rings true!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> So we got an 1” of snow with more snow coming starting Tuesday till Thursday! Night time temps are still staying below freezing and days looks like it 30s ❄️ The parking lots/plowed areas around here are melting down so where ever you can find snow feel free to park your sled! Here is a update from Tim & Robin who has been here for the last few days (come up throughout the winter) ❄️ North of Houghton yesterday the trails were groomed and in good shape. Thursday we rode north it was beautiful, South of Sidnaw they do get a little more rough. Iron River is where the line is drawn really bad. They are rideable but if they haven’t groomed they’re will be mogal. Some water holes and open dirt on most trails also. But you can hit a really good 10 to 20 miles without dirt or water. ❄️ Thank you for the update!! Spots still open as are trails! 🇺🇸⛄️❄️ www.kruppsresortmi.com#keweenawSo we got an 1” of snow with more snow coming starting Tuesday till Thursday!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight. A clipper will spread a mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain across the area this morning, changing to all rain from west to east as temperatures climb above freezing in the afternoon, reaching as high as the mid 50s in the west. A cold front then drops across the U.P. and brings another round of mixed precip tonight, changing to all snow towards Sunday morning. Generally expect minimal snow amounts across most of the U.P., but some spots in the Keweenaw and the east could pick up 1-3” through Sunday morning. A glaze of ice will also be possible in a few spots this morning and again tonight. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight.
