Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/03
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 03/03 We survived another one day warm up quite well! There were some thin spots starting to show today. Getting through Hancock was less pleasant with some bare pavement, and road crossings have become thin/bare in areas, but the trails were overall in excellent condition yesterday outside of towns! Mike Aschliman has really timed his trip perfectly…..again! Mike makes it out west and up to Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula when he’s not lucky enough to be riding from his own back door! We couldn’t agree more, Mike! These Groomer Operators pour their heart and soul into these trails and maintaining/repairing the machines! The passion snd dedication is what makes the Keweenaw my personal weekly/daily riding area! I personally can’t thank them AND their family members and friends also that are behind the scenes helping to support their looooong days/nights! Of course the club doesn’t operate so smoothly without the entire Keweenaw Snowmobile Club board members and YOU the members of the club that join and financially help support the club! I receive many messages from riders of how they can help financially and if you missed our post the other day…..click here to see it ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/313447989133680/posts/1078830975928707/?d=n Join the club, buy 50/50 raffle tickets or donate to the much needed Groomer Barn GoFundMe account! Such a great way to help show your appreciation! The temps the rest of the week are forecasted to stay below freezing now until Sunday! It will be partly sunny each day. I assume there will be heavy traffic again as the weekend approaches, as I spent a goid part of yesterday trying to help people find places to stay….. and with the forecast for next week… it definitely looks as though NOW is the time to ride! If you ever get to experience riding the Keweenaw, mid week, I highly recommend it. Sled traffic is usually MUCH less! As Mike said, we didn’t see many other sleds yesterday! <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Good morning, KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 12 March 2026 KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 11 March 2026 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Snowfall will generally end from west to east across the U.P. this evening.
