The very cold temps have the trails in excellent condition. They are beautiful. The groomer has kept them flat and smooth. The cold keeps them that way. Very few riders were out yesterday on the trails.

Our riders all returned very pleased with their days ride. If there is any way possible you can come up during the week I would encourage you to do so. This weekend there are going to be alot more riders on the trails. I know this because we have been booked since Monday, and many other hotels are as well.

The weather forecast continues to show cold and snow every day. Even an inch a day just keeps it all looking so fresh and pristine. It did show where we’ll be getting out of the bitter cold to a more reasonable winter time temp. 20’s and low 30 by end of the week. This morning it was 1 degree at 7 am.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open. The groomers are out working on the trails and overall the trails are in fair to good condition.

Any trail usage should be done with extreme care as there are rocks, stumps, branches and wet areas not covered by snow and hazards that have not been identified.

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.

Remember to watch out for the groomers and deer when you’re out on the trails…..they have the right of way!!

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