KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 04/03 Mother Nature just won’t make the switch over to spring! We received almost another foot of fresh snow over the last two days! We officially broke the 300 inches mark for the season total! How much more do you think we will receive?! Whenever you are in the Keweenaw, please stop in at Copper World! It is a must stop for such an array of all things Keweenaw! <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 03/31 Holy wah!! Thank you all for making this an amazing season! The amount of snow this year was also a huge help, much better than last year! Haha ❄️ Thank you to all the clubs for all ghe hard work on the trails!

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 <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 03/29 What a way to wind down a great 2024/25 season and there is actually more snow in the forecast! Groomers have also been out again! <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 03/29 Got a dusting of snow over night here in Twin Lakes – everything is covered in ice. They are out taking care of the roads the best they can, use caution please. A lot of ppl are also without power. 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. Stay safe everyone! 🇺🇸⛄️❄️ www.kruppsresortmi.com <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 03/28 Whoop whoop – not over yet! <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 03/28 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 If you’re up for one last ride remember the Portage bridge is closed and ride with caution. ☠️ Stretch <> <> 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. <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 03/26 Wednesday March 26th ☠️ Stretch <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 03/26 Wednesday March 26th ☠️ Stretch <> <> ONTONAGON – MASS CITY – KEWEENAW PENINSULA via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/26 🔥 Last-Minute Late-Season Snowmobile Excellence! 🔥 <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 03/26 Good morning!

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
Have a great day

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″.

Everyone that has messaged me claims that the trails are the best they’ve been all year. Thank you Shane for your report of the Keweenaw looks like you had a good ride.

Who’s coming up for one more ride this weekend? It’s looking like it should be pretty good with more snow Friday-Sunday.
I might just be hanging out at the The Mosquito Inn, you never know.

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.

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

Looks like we're going get another 8 inches of snow starting tonight. That should put us close to 320 for the season. Not a bad year.

Plenty of great riding to still be done! Nikki McGill is officially calling it quits on her season and just left the Keweenaw! Nikki said, “Wow! What a great last snowmobile trip of the season ❄️❄️ 🩵 Wrapped up the season last weekend with 4 days of flat & fast trails, and ended the last day with the Vintage Snowmobile Run For Fun Fundraiser for the Valley Sno Drifters🛷
Total of 2000 miles this season on my sled, with 6500 miles on it now 😬
Officially put a fork 🍴 in it!!
What a fun season with trail riding, along with a great race season and a win @ Chetek Winter Fest. 🏁🏁

Thanks for sharing Nikki! #keweenaw #snowphotos
Well most trails close after today, Trail 3 is open all year and there’s plenty of snow left in these parts
It’s kinda sad dayfor trail riders especially since reports from Toivola north trails are reporting excellent conditions and a snowstorm in the forecast!
But gates will be locked up till next season
Personally right now starts my favorite rides of the year
Warm temps(sometimes tee shirt weather) but the beauty of the creeks and waterfalls are gorgeous!
I’m sure I’ll be sharing pictures for another month and will post here so y’all can ride vicariously through me!
It’s been a great winter
I’m pretty sure this will be my last season of riding with my battle with ALS
My body is giving up on me but not my spirit so stay tuned, ya never know
Check out my live cam and see the snowpack melt and maybe grow as the forecast is looking interesting

This is a sad day having to say that it's the last day of the season. Keep in mind if you are riding today the bridge will be closed tonight. I've even had Houghton start taking the snow off the sidewalk during the day.
