KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 03/13
Thursday March 13th
Looks like 57° the next 2 days with rain on Saturday. I’m thinking this is going to be the last weekend of half way decent riding in my area. We’ll have to see what happens next week.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 03/11
I will remain firm in my statement that spring riding can be some of the best riding!
Yes there is “ugly” in spots but plenty of miles to enjoy on trails! Way less traffic! Bluebird skies!
Today is one of those days, with an extra added bonus of grooming by the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club! Hopefully you all already know the value of riding with the use of Groomer Tracker!
Neil Moulis and Brad Kolmonen are out enjoying a great spring day. This is their 3rd day of riding. They left Houghton again this morning, with the same report as yesterday….still best to start riding Lake Linden/Calumet and north of there! Especially now that groomers are even out!
Neil stopped in M&M Power Sports before starting the day as he had just pucked up his new sled on the way up to the Keweenaw and needed some accessories! M&M even put some scratchers on while he waited! Such amazing service always by Chad and the team! This will help with any hardpack areas (like early morning, heading north out of Houghton)
Copper Harbor bound again, fuel at Copper Harbor Fuel Stop and then on to The Mariner North! But first, a stop at the The Drift Inn for a delicious special of the day and visiting with some of the best bartenders around!
Enjoy the day!

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Here is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.

A snow squall. Maybe that’s what we had going on in Wakefield today. It was nuts!

Then a transition over to lake effect snow over the west to northwest wind snowbelts. 3 to 7 inches of snowfall over the east tonight into Sunday morning.
Windy conditions are expected this afternoon into tonight behind a cold front. Widespread westerly wind gusts are expected between 25 to 35 mph; up to 45 mph near Lake Superior and in the Keweenaw. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club >> Groomer Brad reporting:
Trail 3 from Twin Lakes to Mass City is in very good condition. There are a few wet areas that he filled and should have frozen overnight. The DNR funded a new drag for us this year. Brad reports that it is a very nice tool! 🙂
Thanks Brad for the update! #keweenaw
