Things are thin and there are wet areas but groomer driver Sid Hamill just sent this pic on the jack pine trail and reports things are surprisingly grooming up fairly well.
Lake effect snow is forecasted for the weekend and cold temps. I am going to keep conditions at poor until we get a few more inches of snow and things freeze up.
Conditions could go quickly to a fair/good status by tomorrow night!

This is the Keweenaw Snowmobile Trail System Report for Friday, January 27, 2017.
Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and trails are in poor to fair condition with a base ranging from 12-24 inches. The groomers are out. There are water holes on trail #3 outside of Dollar Bar and Hungarian Falls. Between Canal Road and Old Mill Hill in Houghton there is very little snow cover and lots of water.. There has been a major washout on the South Freda trail so please use caution. 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 NOT remove or destroy them.
