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!

We will pack down some of our other trails today and tonight as conductions allow. The Portage Lake Lift Bridge crossing remains closed, please plan accordingly if you’re planning a ride. “Early Season” conditions are present across the system, a lot of areas do have water opened up. Please ride with caution! <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> 03/25 Long hours were put in yesterday – thank you to all Groomers that went out to make the trails smooth! Reminder trails before hand were hard on top/thin/bare in some areas. The bridge is NOT open to ride across from Houghton to Hancock and the canal isn’t safe to ride across. You will have to trailer across the Portage Lift Bridge – spring riding it will be worth it! We rode yesterday and it was fun! Before all the grooming!

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

My Plow lanes are full so we’re forced to blow the snow back now and the blow piles are 15-20 feet high here
I love running my tractor but even that’s getting old
Feels like we’ll be riding our sleds into May this year for sure
The drifting has been overwhelming
Don’t let that 3’ mark on the snow stick fool ya, ya have to stand up to see out the windows here

Here on February 21st, 2026, most of the snow and freezing rain will continue across the western UP and northwestern LP. We will see a shift to more snow into central and southern Michigan by late this evening. Then on Sunday, snow should be on-and-off across the entire state, with an uptick in typical lake effect zones such as the spine of the western UP, and the entire Lake Michigan shoreline. Lake effect bands are very finicky, and are subject to microclimate wind shifts. It's very possible that a few locations in our 1-3" zone see 4-5" by the end of the day on Sunday. We will be monitoring radar for a dominant lake effect band that stretches across the peninsula. The increase of wind on Sunday morning may also reduce visibility on all roadways to under half a mile, so travel only as fast as conditions allow.
Bottom line, plan for some more of that "annoyance" snow. Not enough to be called a big storm, but enough to cover all side roads, and many of our main roads. Accumulation will be higher during the overnight hours when surface temperatures are NOT at or above 32°F for most of the state. This also means our chances at freezing drizzle are higher during the daylight hours. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOkay, remember how we mentioned sneaky snow this weekend?

We fully expect to see your emoji reactions to this snowfall still-to-fall through the morning commute on Monday. Are you ready for winter to be over, or do you need this snow like there's no tomorrow?

Drove up today from Grand Marais after the Indian River Riders left and the Copper Harbor and Eagle Harbor areas have been hammered again the last few days. Come on up tomorrow bring the old sled and have an absolute riot!!
We’re at the gas station in Copper Harbor. #keweenaw #snowphotos
Tracking more snow and colder temperatures into the weekend, breezy winds early next week, and another clipper mid next week.
Winds go more NW into this weekend bringing back some colder temperatures to support more snow. Better chances for the snow Saturday into N. Lower and the Tip of the Mitt. More lake effect snow chances for Sunday.
NW winds will become breezy Sunday into Monday. We also could have another clipper system to track next Tuesday into Wednesday. As of now, looking more like another snow/mix.

I was knocking down the Nascar turns on 109 last night. Now I have to knock the moguls down more.
We had 4 inches of fresh snow this morning and another 4 at 5:00pm today with no end in site.
