Not a snow flake has fallen in Toivola yet. It does look like a little something maybe this afternoon. Looks like it moved to the east and Marquetteis still under a storm advisory.

“We rode 5 hours yesterday. Trail 3 from The Trailside Lodge ➡️ Trail 132 around Lac La Belle ➡️ Trail 134 ➡️ 136 to High Rock! Excuse me if I have any trail #s wrong, but they were all great trails! Even if icy in areas, still in good shape. It was a fantastic day! We ended our season at High Rock. Trail 136 was very rideable, better than I've seen it in past!
Thanks for all of your great info this season! Your posts are great and helpful info. Thank you! We appreciate you!”
Thank you so much for sharing and your words of appreciation! It’s great to hear you are glad you made the choice to come ride the Keweenaw one last time this season! #keweenaw #snowphotos
We get it…. Spring riding isn’t for everyone…but for those that do enjoy, what can sometimes be a challenge, but “worth it” to them, we will keep updating you!
John Vogler rode the Keweenaw today and this was his detailed report
“hi there . here is our ride today:
tried to find a place to park, ended up parking by Vansville/Cliff View. We rode trail 3 north, pretty "snicy" as we like to call it - snow and ice. A little chop to it, a recent groomer run would have helped huge. We got to 132W, took that down toward Lac La Belle. This trail was excellent. There were a couple washouts where it said wet area, but small spots. We were very happy. Tgen we continued up on 132, it was pretty good, very little chop. We then took 134 east. 134 had a little chop to.it, but decent, again, a groomer run here yesterday would have made it excellent. We took 134 around then 135 back down to 134. This was a little snicy. couple bare spots, but could go around them no problem. Then 134, and 3 back to the truck. It was overall ok to pretty decent. a groomer run would have made it perfect, but I guess they aren't running and not sure why. Trail 3 was a little icy coming back. Hope this helps others. Thanks!”
Thanks John for that update and happy to hear you were able to enjoy the day of late season riding.
Only time will tell what this incoming “storm” actually produces. We just want you to be aware, of the forecast and potential for still riding if you choose to do so. Please checkout www.keweenawcountyonline.org to see previous years snowfalls. It appears the majority of this forecasted storm will head closer to the Big Bay/Kiva area as Bob shared in screenshots from Accuweather!
Thanks again, John, for sharing your update! #keweenaw #snowphotos
