Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 01/21
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports…. WOW! What an amazing week it has been for riding on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula! Over the last two days we picked up an extra foot of fresh new snow!❄️ Chad VanBennekom got out to ride yesterday and shared these photos with us. Chad said, “ Trails are nice! (Minus the drifting)” Groomer operators have been out on all the trails, but as Chad said, you will still find some areas of drifting. Please ride with caution as always. If you would like to have a map of the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club’s trails mailed to you prior to an upcoming trip, you can request that here https://www.keweenaw.info/about-us/request-our-guides-maps/ For real time grooming updates, download the Groomer Tracker App and subscribe to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club trails. There is a nominal $10 fee and a portion of that fee goes directly to the KSC to help in maintaining the trails. <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western Up Trail Reports…. <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Trails-North Powersports LLC >> 💯😎 From High Rock to the Lift Bridge and all points in between ❤️ we experienced the BEST trails and the BEST meals 💯🤟 Literally felt like the Keweenaw Peninsula rolled out the red carpet for us over the last 3 days 💯💯🌬️❄️❄️❄️ The BEST solid 3 days of sledding this year 💯 Met some really awesome people and grew closer to a couple of serious sledders that I am very proud to call friends 💯🤟🌬️❄️ Until next time Keweenaw Peninsula you are my favorite sled destination 💯🌬️❄️❄️❄️🤟 #keweenaw #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Key Messages: KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort >> Trails are grooming out so smooth!

No doubt the forecast lived up to its insanity, with many locations getting over 40" of snow across the central Upper Peninsula, and 8-10 foot snow drifts to make things even more extreme. In terms of forecast verification, our forecast did hit the 80%+ accuracy threshold we strive for after each event. Our final verification was 83%, and most of the the misses were where the system shifted slightly south to give parts of the northern Lower Peninsula greater than 24", and parts of the western Upper Peninsula much less. Anything over 18" of snow is just "a lot" at this point anyways, so we aren't stressing too badly about the miss in the Lower Peninsula near the Mackinac Bridge. Lake effect zones in SW Michigan did verify, as text was featured under the forecast that a couple spots would see locally higher amounts.
Overall, this will be a storm we won't soon forget, which adds to the list of wild weather we've experienced in Michigan over the last two weeks. If you have any additional snowfall reports to add to the list that are not affected by drifting, drop them in the comments below here on X or Facebook. A new two-day record was also broken at the NWS office in Marquette of 36"+ with this blizzard, which is just one record smashed by this blizzard.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
We dodged the bullet and only received 4 inches from the storm. However the winds created some major drifts so ride with caution ⚠️ It looks like a cold one today but another warm spell for a couple days but don't worry we still have a lot of snow.
