KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 3/15
Well here comes the warmer weather 😥. Today’s high is forecasted to be 46 degrees and the rest of the week is similar. Tim Lund is up riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula and is enjoying what are still amazing trails and very low traffic! Tim is staying at the Super 8 of Houghton Tim shared some photos and comments from his ride yesterday. Tim said, “Solo ride today, trails were amazing, flat & fast, from Houghton to Copper Harbor, with several stops, put almost 150 miles on.”
All reports from other riders were excellent also! Trails are in great condition heading into the warmup. Keweenaw Snowmobile Club has announced a reduced grooming schedule for the rest of the season due to the influx of above freezing temps. Grooming operations will return for weekends IF weather and conditions permit. Sadly, after this week we are definitely approaching the end of the 2021/22 season for many riders. Trails running on pavement, through towns etc will be bare if the forecast holds true. Road crossings and parking lots will also become bare. Does that mean there is not any riding left to be done…..NO! I’m sure we will still run into many of the other late season riders out there!
Thanks for sharing Tim! We hope your ride today is just as amazing as yesterday!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western Up Trail Reports…. 3/15
Sunday is definitely not looking good. From my past experience with a week of warm weather the trails will begin to show signs of spring. We still have a base close to 30" in the Toivola area but I can assure you there are spots that are a lot thinner. So after this coming weekend those thin spots will get sloppy and even have standing water in spots. I can only hope to get a couple rides in my new sled before the season ends. You know me being honest but I hope I’m not accurate on this one. ☠Stretch
PS. I will not be grooming the rest of this season due to the weather.
