KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 3/28
WOW! Another beautiful spring riding day!!
Mike Aschliman is up for yet ANOTHER trip this season and shared some amazing photos!
Mike said, “Beautiful spring day 🙂 nothing but smiles!”
Please note that grooming operations ended last night. We have had well below freezing temps and low traffic today, allowing trails to stay in good condition. There is a “storm”moving in to the area starting late tomorrow night in which the form of precipitation could vary greatly from sleet, rain and/or snow. (A lot like the storm we received last week that started out as rain/sleet and then changed over to 16plus inches of snow.)
Trails that run through private property (trails north of Calumet) close at the end of the day, March 31st. Trails on state land such as trail 17 from Calumet to Hancock and trail 3 south of Houghton do not close. The gates to cross the bridge from Hancock to Houghton are scheduled to be closed April 1st also.
Thanks for sharing Mike! Enjoy your day tomorrow!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western Up Trail Reports…. 3/24
Headed out to start the clean up after the last storm. I spent 4 hours to go less than 2 miles of trail brushing. Lots if down branches and trees on the trail. Hope to get out late tonight or maybe early morning to start back grooming again. It’s pretty warm again today and the trails are still soft but surprisingly in good shape.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club >> Yesterday's report from Groomer Chris out of our Greenland barn: 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... See MoreSee Less
