This is the Keweenaw trail system report for Tuesday, January 3, 2012.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and groomers are out working on them. Conditions range from poor in towns and near the lake, to good. Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails….they have the right of way!!!

There is logging on a short portion of Trails 132 and 133.

Please be aware that if you snowmobile on U.S. Coast Guard property you could face federal trespass charges.

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, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.

Groomers were out today in the Soo and out to Raco. We will be hitting and trails around Kinross tomorrow. The snow is making the trails rideable for the first time this season. I seen 12 sleds on the trails while grooming today. Most of the trails are still in poor to fair condition, but they will be improving as we get more snow and continue to be groomed. Remember to treat the trails like early season riding, there are rocks, stumps, and wet areas that are still not frozen just below the surface. Pretend it is Dec and winter has just begun. – Via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association on Facebook
