KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/26
We are slowly, but surely racking up some more snow❄️ here in the Keweenaw! We have received about 6+ inches over the past few days and the cold 🥶 temps are moving in! We all know that means a good possibility for lake effect snow with Lake Superior still pretty open! ❄️💃 We are also under a winter weather advisory! 👏
Jordan Woods and crew shared some photos with us along with Patrick Schoff. Jordan said, “Great trip to the Keweenaw! Trail 124 into Gay was our favorite! It was smooth, fast and a lot of fun with all of twists and turns! Both the The Mariner North and The Gay Bar were awesome! We can’t wait to come back! We had an Airbnb in Dollar Bay and the host was awesome and very accommodating! They even let us work on a sled in the garage!” https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/757226360488865790… Patrick Schoff shared some photos and review of trails this morning (post can be seen here -https://www.facebook.com/100070685216408/posts/234040355628803/?mibextid=cr9u03) Patrick also shared a few photos of examples of water holes on trail 130. He said that trail 130 was pretty rough but they enjoyed stopping at Eagle Harbor Inn! They also took Trail 124 into Gay and Eagle Harbor Innt!
If riding the Keweenaw this weekend please stop in on Saturday at The Trailside Lodge from 11am -4pm for the Keweenaw SnowmThe Trailside Lodge All are welcome! Trailside Lodge is located right on trail 17 in Calumet!
Please be aware while riding
⚠️ some of the water holes (as pictured below on trail 130) may not be frozen over yet. Ride with caution ⚠️
⚠️ Trail 133 is not recommended as it has been opened this season but not groomed. It has been pretty rough and wet. You can still get to Lac La Belle via trail 132 and to Gay via trail 124. (If you do ride trail 133, please let us know any review you have of conditions)
🛑Trail 122 is only PARTIALLY open from the trail 3/122 junction in Lake Linden to Sawmill Rd/the entrance to the Valley Sno Drifters trail to Dreamland Restaurant & Bar! Valley Sno Drifters after thiDreamland Restaurant & Bar 122 can not be used as a connection to Gay/trail 124!
⚠️the spur trail to High Rock Bay still has a pretty significant water hole on it. Hopefully with these cold temps and future, additional snowfall 🤞 groomer operators will be able to get in there and get the hole filled in and frozen over.
Groomers are out on the trails tonight!

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/26
Groomer Matt and his helpers were out in old #7 on trail 472 and 480 tonight. Matt thinks the water holes we have been dealing with right by the 480 intersection are about 80% filled in. We have some extra hay to try there to get them all the way covered up. They are easily passable on the sides, just take it easy. I circled the area on the map.
#8 is having some maintenance done and we will swap machines, hopefully before the weekend. #7 can’t climb the hills as well, so ideally we want #8 out there.
Hoping to have some news for you in the coming days on trail 49. It’s all finally starting to come together!
Thank you Matt & kids for your time and work out there! ❄️❄️❄️

From groomer Warren out on 889 and the Mission Hill Loop early this morning. Looking flat and beautiful!
He cautioned that there is still a little water in the ditch right by Bay Mills Resort & Casino but it is easy to get around via sled. Just take your time and pay close attention and you’ll be just fine.
Anyone missing this bag? Message us with the contents and we’ll arrange to get it back to you.
Ride safe, ride right, ride sober!
Busy weekend and week ahead as we enter I-500 week! ❄️❄️🏁
