KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 12/10
W🤩W! What a crazy, busy start to the 2024/25 season! It’s not often that tgere is decent rideable snow on opening day!
We have had so many messages regarding conditions and asking for help in planning trips to the Keweenaw area to ride! We apologize if we haven’t gotten back to you yet and are working on getting caught up!
Looks like we have additional white gold on the way also!
Jake Groteboer and crew were up riding and shared these photos with us from riding this past weekend. Jacob said, “Fantastic riding yesterday. We trailered north of the Houghton bridge and unloaded in Calumet.
Great trails all the way up to Copper Harbor and back. Only came across 4 other sleds the entire day. We stayed at Adventure Motel and ate at Parkview Lodge & Grill and The Mariner North in Copper Harbor. Great food and lodging!”
Thanks for sharing Jacob! So glad your early season riding was good!

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Final snowfall totals have been released from our blizzard of March 15th-17th, 2026 here in Michigan. Do note, some locations are approximated due to data gaps in the Upper Peninsula..... #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyFinal snowfall totals have been released from our blizzard of March 15th-17th, 2026 here in Michigan. Do note, some locations are approximated due to data gaps in the Upper Peninsula.
No doubt the forecast lived up to its insanity, with many locations getting over 40" of snow across the central Upper Peninsula, and 8-10 foot snow drifts to make things even more extreme. In terms of forecast verification, our forecast did hit the 80%+ accuracy threshold we strive for after each event. Our final verification was 83%, and most of the the misses were where the system shifted slightly south to give parts of the northern Lower Peninsula greater than 24", and parts of the western Upper Peninsula much less. Anything over 18" of snow is just "a lot" at this point anyways, so we aren't stressing too badly about the miss in the Lower Peninsula near the Mackinac Bridge. Lake effect zones in SW Michigan did verify, as text was featured under the forecast that a couple spots would see locally higher amounts.
Overall, this will be a storm we won't soon forget, which adds to the list of wild weather we've experienced in Michigan over the last two weeks. If you have any additional snowfall reports to add to the list that are not affected by drifting, drop them in the comments below here on X or Facebook. A new two-day record was also broken at the NWS office in Marquette of 36"+ with this blizzard, which is just one record smashed by this blizzard. ... See MoreSee Less
