Ride Right, Ride Safely, and have fun!
Bob and Kathy Beaupied from Kiva, Michigan have been UP riding the last couple of days and they included a stop at their personal piece of propertry in Copper Harbor, Michigan!
Bob shared these beautiful photos with us and said, “Kathy and I did a little on trail/off trail riding in the Keweenaw the last two days. Trails were great considering the lack of fresh snow. We stopped at our Copper Harbor property for a lakeside break. We had a great breakfast at The Mariner North and ate lunch at the Parkview – New Lodge and Grill!
We met our nephew and friends in Copper Harbor as they were doing their annual backpack trip from Grand Marais. My nephew and gang left the Mariner this morning (Monday) at 8am and rode to Ishpeming. They said everything was smooth the whole way with the exception of a few miles near the bottom of Brockway Mountain.
We actually have twice the snow at our house but we’d rather ride the Keweenaw! 😁”. We totally understand your preference of riding the Keweenaw! There is just something about the area that can steal your heart! All of the beautiful views and stops along the trails at areas businesses are just a few things, along with the awesome people you will meet that will have you continuously coming back for more!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos and review of trails! Please feel free to bring snow back with you next time you come from Kiva! Or at least join in with a good snow dance! ❄💃Postings From Keweenaw Trail Reports On Facebook

Here on February 21st, 2026, most of the snow and freezing rain will continue across the western UP and northwestern LP. We will see a shift to more snow into central and southern Michigan by late this evening. Then on Sunday, snow should be on-and-off across the entire state, with an uptick in typical lake effect zones such as the spine of the western UP, and the entire Lake Michigan shoreline. Lake effect bands are very finicky, and are subject to microclimate wind shifts. It's very possible that a few locations in our 1-3" zone see 4-5" by the end of the day on Sunday. We will be monitoring radar for a dominant lake effect band that stretches across the peninsula. The increase of wind on Sunday morning may also reduce visibility on all roadways to under half a mile, so travel only as fast as conditions allow.
Bottom line, plan for some more of that "annoyance" snow. Not enough to be called a big storm, but enough to cover all side roads, and many of our main roads. Accumulation will be higher during the overnight hours when surface temperatures are NOT at or above 32°F for most of the state. This also means our chances at freezing drizzle are higher during the daylight hours. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOkay, remember how we mentioned sneaky snow this weekend?

We fully expect to see your emoji reactions to this snowfall still-to-fall through the morning commute on Monday. Are you ready for winter to be over, or do you need this snow like there's no tomorrow?

Drove up today from Grand Marais after the Indian River Riders left and the Copper Harbor and Eagle Harbor areas have been hammered again the last few days. Come on up tomorrow bring the old sled and have an absolute riot!!
We’re at the gas station in Copper Harbor. #keweenaw #snowphotos
Tracking more snow and colder temperatures into the weekend, breezy winds early next week, and another clipper mid next week.
Winds go more NW into this weekend bringing back some colder temperatures to support more snow. Better chances for the snow Saturday into N. Lower and the Tip of the Mitt. More lake effect snow chances for Sunday.
NW winds will become breezy Sunday into Monday. We also could have another clipper system to track next Tuesday into Wednesday. As of now, looking more like another snow/mix.

I was knocking down the Nascar turns on 109 last night. Now I have to knock the moguls down more.
We had 4 inches of fresh snow this morning and another 4 at 5:00pm today with no end in site.
