KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western & Southern UP Trail Reports – 01/15

Jeff Leary, Andy Burns and crew just shared these photos with us after enjoying a stop at Omer’s Golf Course Bar, Restaurant, and Rental Cabins of Trail 3 from Mass City to South Range.

They said, Trail 3 from Mass City to South Range was good to fair. It got ugly when we got North of South Range. There are some bare corners coming out of Mass City. We enjoyed a great lunch at Omar’s. Do your snow dances!

It’s awesome to se people out making the best out of their trips!

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/15

Not a flake of new snow overnight and there is a misty drizzle in the air. Maybe 1 to 3 coming overnight. I will believe that when I see it.

The only positive thing is the weather is showing snow every day for the next week but most of it lake effect. I would pretty much chalk up this MLK weekend as a junk weekend. If you happen to come up anyways stop by here to make sure I am awake. I can feel a boring weekend coming on.

Today’s pics are of the places that have tents and outdoor seating if you want to go that route. Everyone has take out too. Maybe we will get a winter surprise but don’t hold your breath. So many calls from people that want tor ride but cant. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Colder Saturday, with a few flurries around again, and then, you guessed it, more snow chances going into early next week…though signals point toward a warming trend during this period as well. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyFeb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions.
