Joshua said, “We had an amazing trip! I have been coming to the Keweenaw for 20 years, but this trip I brought 3 of my kids and one of their friends. It was their first time riding on real trails!! We stayed in Twin Lakes at the Black Barn Lodge! It was amazing! Thanks to Duwayne for sharing his place on Airbnb! Trails were awesome. We rode 335 miles in three days from Tuesday to Thursday!”
Thank you for taking the time to share Joshua! We are S❄️ glad you all had such a great trip!

Well the forecast played out to be accurate this week for desperately needed fresh snowfall! From February 20th – February 23rd the Keweenaw received 2 FEET snow! 👏❄️ PLUS – it’s STILL snowing! ❄️💃
Tonia O’Rourke & Mickey Hoose have been up taking advantage of the awesome conditions. Tonia shared these photos with us and said, “We had to come up to Copper Harbor to visit with our favorite waitress Ana at The Mariner North! She remembered us and knew we drank coffee and started a new pot!! Weather conditions aren’t that great, we’ll be heading back to our lodging to beat the blizzard coming in! 🥰❤️❄️ It was a great day for snowmobiling to Copper Harbor! Here are all our pictures of our amazing day! Making memories is what it’s all about! Hope you enjoy our adventure! 🥰👍❄️❄️❄️”
Thank you so much for sharing Tonia and we all agree Ana is simply awesome along with everything about the Mariner!
‼️⚠️ Hopefully you all have seen the post earlier today regarding a rough night the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club had with grooming operations. To summarize – a groomer slid off the trail in a wet area, the other two machines spent the night trying to recover the stuck machine. They were unsuccessful and a local contractor will be helping today. The machine is stuck on the side of the trail just north of the junction of trail 130 and trail 3, on trail 3. Groomers will be out today to get trails back into shape. The only trails groomed last night were trail 3 from Toivola to Houghton and trail 3 from Mohawk to Clear Lake Junction(the split to Copper Harbor via Brockway and trail 134)⚠️‼️

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club – 2/24
Groomer Todd reporting:
Fwd:Good Morning Everyone. Ribbons Are Back! The almost 20 inches of fresh snow this week has improved our Superior Snowmobile Club trail system exponentially from a week ago.
Trail 13 West from Greenland to Rockland was groomed early this morning to the trail 137 intersection. Trail 12 out of Greenland to trail 3 was also groomed. I would rate the trail in excellent condition.
I was able to climb the Rockland hills again with the groomer and drag with the pan down. This is a 24 mile run and takes me about 4 hours depending on conditions. I used 24 gallons of diesel and 5 quarts of DEF on this run. Thanks again for supporting the Superior Snowmobile Club!
Have a great weekend everyone.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning. A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations. After another quiet day on Monday, another system brings a mix of rain and snow to the area on Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaQuieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The Trailside Lodge >> Well… Mother Nature heard us complaining about that warm-up and said absolutely NOT. ❄️
Colder temps and snowy powder falling all day long.
Not mad about it. In fact... let’s keep it coming.
The sleds are out there having an absolute blast on the trails. And yeah, we’re pretty sure the customers are having fun too… based on the grins (behind the helmets of course), throttle therapy, and lack of urgency to come back 😎 #keweenaw #snowphotosWell… Mother Nature heard us complaining about that warm-up and said absolutely NOT. ❄️

📸 Pic details for the trail detectives:
This photo was taken right along Trail #17 between Calumet and Houghton, and those good-looking machines are 3 of our Ski-Doo 600 Backcountries E-TEC's.
🏨 Little bonus perk:
Our hotel rooms are located right at the same spot as our rentals.
Ride all day, park your sled right at your door, warm up, relax, and repeat. No trailering. No nonsense.
Colder temps, snowy trails, happy sleds, and zero complaints today.
Who’s ready to ride? ❄️😏
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 10 January 2026
It looks like everyone was out last night working on our trails. Reports are the trails were in pretty bad shape but seemed to groom well despite the snow being like sugar. The fresh snow will help make it more workable tonight.
Get the Groomer Tracker app on your phone so you'll be able to see who's been out laying that ribbon.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 10 January 2026
Good thing I'm not a meteorologist because I guessed this one pretty bad. I had said yesterday that I didn't think we'd get but about an inch of snow. Well we're at 3 inches as of 4pm today and they claim it's going to continue till tomorrow morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.

WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here's the updated 24-hour snowfall forecast through 7am Sunday (top figure) compared to the same forecast from two days ago (bottom figure). No big changes for the UP, although a bit more snow is now forecast for the Keweenaw and central UP. Not a bad way to make up for the recent warmup! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
