KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports….
It’s a very busy weekend in the Keweenaw! Today the KSC is hosting the first annual “Fun Run”. There is a groomer for riders to checkout at the start. The Fun Run starts at 11:00am at the location of the new groomer barn – the corner of Spruce St and Osceola Rd in Calumet. The group will take off and head to Cliff View on trail 3, right before it intersects with trail 124, if heading north on 3. They will then head to Fletchy’s Otter Belly Lodge in Eagle Harbor for food and fun! If you can’t make it to the start, please feel free to try to meet up with the group along the way!
The Masters Racing Hillclimb event is also taking place at Whealkate Bluff. You can access this event from trail 3 in South Range. A groomer will also be at this location that riders can checkout!
Tomorrow, Sunday, the Valley Sno Drifters will be hosting their annual spaghetti dinner at Dreamland Restaurant & Bar. The Valley Sno Drifters maintain the Dreamland trails. If you have never had the opportunity to ride these trails, I highly recommend trying them someday. You can pick up the Dreamland Trail right off of trail 122 where it intersects with Sawmill Creek Rd. The trail is narrow and winds through the woods for about 10 miles before reaching Dreamland Restaurant & Bar!
Sean, Lexi and Tom Diederich rode 180 miles on the KSC trails yesterday and Sean said, “Trails are fantastic!” They stopped at Eagle Harbor Inn, Lac La Belle Lodge / Bear Belly Pit Stop and ended their day eating a delicious fish dinner at The Mosquito Inn! Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos Sean!

MAKING A RECOVERY!
About an inch or two of new snowfall with the trail system in overall good condition now. We are making a good recovery from down equipment but it will take a few more repetitive runs for a full recovery over the weekend. The Trail Programs Spare Bully was delivered by Pisten Bully to Seney today to get the Groomer and Blade. They then groomed Trail 8 bringing it back to us. It immediately started working on our trail system. Trenary Northern Trails will continue helping on the west end and Schoolcraft Motorized Trail Association will be helping with Trail 8 North of Shingleton.
Bay De Noc Snowmobile Club has also started helping with Trail 7 from the south up to the Buckhorn. With the help from our neighbors our full trail system will now be getting groomed again, just not as frequent so trails may get choppy between runs. We will keep everyone updated on further equipment status as things develop. Be sure to Thank our neighboring clubs for helping us keep your trails rideable. Get out and ride safe, stay right and enjoy the great riding conditions! Keep doing the Cold Weather Snow Dancing and Stay Tuned for updates!
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails –
Trail holding up well with cold temperatures. Need more snow! Grooming will continue daily as long as conditions allow. Possible warmup next week. We will adjust as needed to allow for the best results. Ride right and ride safe!
