KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 02/10
10 February 2026
I’m being bombarded with questions about the warm up coming this weekend. So let me explain my honest but might not be accurate trail report
Every year we get a warm up for a few days. Mid 30’s and low 40’s will definitely make it a little sloppy and most likely moguled up by Sunday. My guess is that we will pause grooming during this time and it’s going to get rough. By Wednesday night into Thursday the temps will drop and we can possibly resume grooming but it’ll take a couple day’s to fix the mess.
Keep in mind I ride in 40°-50° days most of April and the trails hold up pretty good.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> High pressure will gradually build into the region today and Thursday. This will slowly diminish lake effect snow showers from west to east. It will also help usher in a warm and mostly dry period. Most can expect above freezing temperatures during the day and below freezing temperatures overnight into at least early next week. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaHigh pressure will gradually build into the region today and Thursday.

🤣 3 ++ Feet !!!! YES I said Feet, of Base the only thing that will hurt it is riding on it. I know everyone can't just cancel because this is your 1 and only trip, but if you can hold of for a weekend and by next Thursday they will be Mint again. Ride Right and Sober!
The warm up won't kill anything for trail riders, everyone has plenty of snow. Now off trail riders.....😩
