Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/16
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort – Hey some sun and blue skies a bit today! Man it’s beautiful up here in Kruppys back yard today! Pow a plenty out there folks! …. <> Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open but are in early season condition. Groomers are out panning trails and clearing hazards. More snow is needed. Any trail usage should be done with extreme caution as there are some low snow cover areas and there are rocks, branches, wet areas and hazards that have not been identified. The Portage Lift Bridge is open for snowmobile traffic. The mat is not down yet. Trail 124, 132W and 133 are temporarily closed for logging. Remember when you’re out on the trails to watch out for the groomers. They have the right away. The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, drive safely. The signs on the trail are there for riders’ safety so please DO Not remove or destroy them. <> Visit Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau Website >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Patchy dense fog is possible early this morning across the west and central U.P. and then again tonight.

I just got back from inspecting 3/13. Roughly 18 bare spots this evening compared to the two that were there when I went out around noon. Most of the bare spots are 3-4' in diameter however there is about a 16' long bare spot on the 90 degree turn/hill by 3. Significant portions of the trails are pretty slushy and the snow is real loose on the majority of the trails. Thankfully 13 is still in decent shape however the stretch of 3 from aspen lane to the 3/12 intersection is full of small 6" or so moguls.
I'm gonna hold off on grooming because the snow is so wet I don't think I'll be able to get it to flow out the drag and it's not gonna get cold enough to firm up the snow.
Thank you, Chris! #keweenaw Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
