Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 02/17
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 02/17 Well we have our “white” and our “greens” back! Yay for the snow that we received and for grooming operations back marking the Groomer Tracker up showing trails that were hit last night! Huge thank you to The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club and Keweenaw Snowmobile Club for getting out there and doing what they could! Trail 3 from Mass City to Houghton was groomed/panned and prior to grooming operations, riders reported the areas around Twin Lakes had received more fresh snowfall. Please see a few of Brent Mason’s photos from yesterday afternoon. Brent made the last minute decision to head up to the Keweenaw just to put a few (s)miles on and support the area businesses! He enjoyed a delicious meal (as always) at Boondock Inn U.P. North Resort! Brent said he will probably start riding out of the Twin Lakes area today and let us know how he finds trails today! Thanks Brent! Trail 17 from Hancock and Trail 3 up to 134 and then 134 up to the Copper Harbor had grooming machines down them last night, as did trail 132 according to the Groomer Tracker App. Adam Garvey and crew shared a few photos of their ride yesterday also north of Phoenix. Adam would like to remind riders that you can find him today at The Mariner North – stop in for a warm up and some delicious food! Then on Sunday at 10am any one is welcome to meet at Adams/Frosty’s on Lac La Belle for breakfast and a ride around the Keweenaw area! The snow that fell last week across the area was lake effect snow and there is a couple more inches in the forecast for today! Winter is trying to reenter and we are optimistic that March riding will be good! If you don’t yet use GT, please download the app and subscribe to the trail systems you ride for up to the moment grooming operations! Follow Midwest Weather for continued forecasts! You can checkout webcams on the www.johndee.com website and we shared the The Trailside Lodge/Copper Country Rentals current shot along Trail 17! Check them out for your lodging and rental needs all year round! ✅The Portage Lake Lift Bridge has been REOPENED and sleds may cross. The businesses of the entire area miss seeing you all and are just as excited to see the snow as the riders are! Stop and frequent as many as you can either by sled or vehicle! <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club >> As our snowmobile season comes to a close, and our grooming comes to an end, we wish to thank our club officers, our groomers, all of the businesses that have supported us, and those riders that came to enjoy our trails and supported our community. It takes dedication, passion and a lot of hours to make each season a success.

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!

I met this awesome group today at the Mosquito during my Meet and Greet. So I sent them down trail 109 to Alston and the second pic is what they made for me to enjoy when I groom again. Thanks for supporting Western UP Trail Reports and I hope you find me next year when your up riding.

Wishful thinking that this will get us back in shape, but stranger things have happened. I'll keep you all informed on how this turns out in the morning.
