KRUPPS RESORT – JANUARY 23

Good morning Kruppers
The thaw is almost over!
Snow is in the forecast and the damage will be on the mend to our snow soon!
Near normal BELOW FREEZING temps will make its way back into Kruppys backyard!
The trails will survive and might even be back in ship shape by this weekend!
There are no big bombs forecasted but should be enough to get the trails nice again!
With the rains last weekend it settled the off trail and colder temps will make for a solid base but will need some real snows to get back to where it was!
At least 2 more months to play so NO panicking here!
Our groomer drivers volunteer many many hours and take huge pride so you can bet they will get everything in shipshape!

JANUARY 23

This is the Keweenaw Snowmobile Trail System Report for Monday, January 23, 2017.

Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and trails are in poor condition with a base ranging from 12-24 inches. The groomers will not be going out until weather and conditions improve. The mat on the Portage Lift Bridge is down.

Trail 122 is closed for logging. You can still access the Dreamland trail from Lake Linden but DO NOT go beyond. You can take Trail 124 to get to Gay.

Remember when you’re out on the trails to watch out for the groomers. They have the right away. Use caution around logging areas.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, drive safely. The signs on the trails are there for riders’ safety so please DO NOTE remove or destroy them.

It’s still going downhill 37 degrees here and trails and crossings are looking dark. The three pictures below are from this morning including the same view of my parking lot as yesterday……I don’t like it and time will tell what it looks like for this coming weekend.

Several things I have been meaning to touch on so this is going to be a long one today. First of all is about a sad story out of Seney. I am pasting the story from the SSA (Seney Snowmobile Association).

Please say a prayer for Seney Snowmobile Association and the family of Tyler Barker in Seney MI. He was killed in a accident at the groomer barn in Seney Mi on Thursday.
SSA is morning the loss or one of our own. An unfortunate accident took the life of Tyler Barker yesterday while working on the drag in the sno barn. Tyler was a snowmobile enthusiast that loved grooming. As our groomers got older the need for maintenance grew. He was always there whenever you needed him for whatever job to keep the groomers on the trail. He was a valued member of our team and will be truely missed. Our thoughts and support goes out to his family and friends. We’d like to thank his coworkers, the first responders and the EMT’s who tried so hard to prevent this tragedy. Here is a link to the go fund me account set up for him Go Fund Me for Tyler Barkers funeral

Next up is a request that I got on the 15th and it got buried in my emails about a stolen sled from the Keg in Waters.

Good evening Pete. Just wanted to pass along some information in the hopes you can alert your fan base. Sunday 1/15/17 between 730p-830p my snowmobile was stolen from the parking lot of The Keg Bar in Waters. The stolen sled was a 2015 Ski Doo Renegade XRS. Police report was taken.

I have posted on multiple local establishments Facebook pages as well.My intention of this request is to help educate and make other riders aware that theft is always a possibility, and if securing your items is not a option then frequently check to ensure nothing malicious has happened. Many thanks! Chris Zimo Today the Darkside adventures guys headed out towards Quebec for their ride around the Gaspe Pennisula. As usual I wish I was with them. You can track and watch their darkside adventures website. That’s about it for today. Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/still-going-downhill/
