This is the Keweenaw trail system report for Thursday, February 23, 2012.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and groomers are out working on them. Trails are in good to very good condition. Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails….they have the right of way!!! Please watch out for deer on the trails too.

There is logging on a portion of Trail 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.

More snow overnight in the Grand Marais area… NWS is showing a few pockets of over 20′ in our trail system now. We got a few inches over the last couple days in town.

Caution: Trail 443 from Carlson Camp Rd north (about 1/2 way between Trail 88 and the McLeod Grade) was blown out by loggers, beware of ice and watch out for logging equipment. They will be moving around in there. We will be rerouting 443 next week so we’ll only share about 300 yards of trail. The reroute will be beautiful. Trails are are nice otherwise. Pres. Mike will update me later today on the rest of the trails.
