KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club – 01/29
Shaping up nicely! Trail 122 is only open from Lake Linden to Sawmill Road (logging – please respect this closure). Trail 133 is still wet in many areas, with the cold snap we’re hoping to get out there this week but do not want to risk burying equipment. Think snow and ride right!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/29
W🤩W! Just W🤩W!
What a trip Greg Schmidt took from Minoqua Wi to Copper Harbor, Michigan.
L👀K at these beautiful photos from a partial blue sky day on Brockway Mountain.
Greg shared the details of his trip with us, “…..here are some pictures from our awesome ride to the Keweenaw! We started our ride in Minocqua, WI and headed up Wednesday, January 26th. Stayed at Hackman’s Hollow in Twin Lakes which was very convenient being right across the street from a restaurant. The views and trail all the way up on trail 3 to Houghton were spectacular! As we got through Houghton we headed up on trail 17/3 on smooth trails in Calumet and then took 134 out to the High Rock trail. Decided to try to head out to High Rock but about a mile into it turned around due to the high moguls. I was surprised by the amount of snow. Prior to heading up the reports I heard was there is no snow going out to High Rock but it sure looked like they had plenty. Anyways back to the report…😁 We headed into Copper Harbor on 134 and that was smooth as silk! We headed into Copper Harbor and then started up Brockway Mountain and man the views were like driving into a Bob Ross painting! Got to the top and took in all the spectacular views! After taking some memory making pictures we headed back down and stopped at another lookout overlooking Copper Harbor and Lake Superior. After getting gas at the Copper Harbor Fuel Stop, we stopped to eat at The Mariner North for lunch which was OUTSTANDING! Heading back we headed down 134 to 3 and took 124 out to Gay. Trail 124 was so good we headed back out that way as well. Once we got back on 3 south to Houghton the trails started to get a little rough but what do you expect after a full day of riding? Topped gas off in Houghton before heading back to Twin Lakes. Made it back to Minocqua Friday afternoon. 530 memorable miles and we will BE BACK! 😁”
What an amazing trip, Greg! Thank you SO much for sharing the many details of your trip and the beautiful photos!!

FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress. The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall. Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot. Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord#cadillac #traversecity #petoskey...
