Groomer Report

Grooming is done for the season

Trail #8 going west of Brimley is the only trail left. The groomers are parked for the season. Trails officially close April 1 but there will be snow on forest roads long after that. We will leave gates open until trail is unrideable.

We have a new plowed parking area at the beginning of trail #8 under the International Bridge, which now has an all season porta John. Make sure you lock your vehicles and trailers.

If you are staying in the Sault please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!!!!!!

Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less then a inch on the trail.

Base 0- 2 inches -Trail is in poor Condition.

No this is NOT a delayed April Fools joke! The DNR has approved the request from Brian Anderson and the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club to extend grooming from tomorrow morning through Sunday! After Sunday the situation will be re-evaluated. One grooming machine will be operated from Calumet North, twice a day! All trails with the exception of 133 will remain open! Trails from Toivola to Houghton and then up to Calumet are as of now not going to be groomed but WILL be open! We all need to thank Brian and his staff of groomer operators that are making themselves available to extend this season for you all! Thanks to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club board members for all of their work to make Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula such an amazing place to ride!
