KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort – Good evening Kruppers!
Well another weekend is in the books and it was awesome!
The off trail is about as good as it gets right now!
We picked up over a foot of new snow and the conditions are primo!
Rode trail 13 for quite a while and has some bumps but I could ride one handed and 3……. well good early in the day and then the bumps in the afternoons!
It’s the weekend and traffic is heavy so you can guess it whoops up!
Tomorrow through Thursday is the best of coarse!
A lot of traffic up here but good snows down through Wi and Mn should lighten the traffic up here for sure!
It looked to be about a foot from here all the way to Minneapolis and sleds were everywhere today on my travels!
I would have to say it has been a long time since I rode such good off trail conditions up here in Kruppys backyard!
Me and Kruppy have BIG smiles right now!
Have a great night and get out and ride!
It’s awesome!
Now I’m going to go take some ibuprofen from the weekend riding!
