This is the Keweenaw Snowmobile Trail System Report for Friday, January 6, 2017.

Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and in good condition.

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. Use Trail 124 to get to Gay.

Any trail usage should be done with extreme caution as there are wet spots, rocks, stumps, branches, and other hazards that have not been identified.

Please remember to watch out for the groomers when your’re out on the trails. 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.

Trail Conditions: Poor to Fair

The snow gauge just west of Cadillac is showing a 2-3 inch increase in snow over the last couple of days. There has been so much wind blowing the light snow around it is really hard to tell how much snow has fallen. I haven’t had a report from the national forest area or northern part of the system yet. They may have gotten more snow. Keep an eye out for groomers as they will be grooming areas as needed. Also be aware there may be ice on the trail where you least expect it.

January 2, 2017

Due to the warm-up today, grooming operations have halted until further notice. Colder temperatures are due later in the week and hopefully they will bring more snow.

January 1, 2017 — HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our Trail Coordinator reporting in this morning said the trails are in GOOD to FAIR condition. The forest roads are GOOD with the narrower portions of the trail system not holding up as well. He also indicated there is an ice base so be careful.

Caberfae Staging Area–approx.. 12 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Boon Staging Area–park in plowed area south of Boon Grocery

Note: The porta-a-johns were removed from our staging areas today as our contracts on them expired 3-15-13.
