KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 01/10
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.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 01/10
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.

9:00 a.m.
We’re in the middle of a warm-up up and it rained last night, creating poor trail conditions. The good news is, there are flurries in the forecast! As of now, grooming has been halted due to the warmer temperatures and will resume once it gets colder. Be sure to watch for ice and bare patches in some areas. Be safe out there and have fun!
Please note, due to last April’s ice storm, there are logging operations in several locations. The newest locations are around Van Tyle and North Townline Road (Gaylord) and the intersection of trails 7 & 4 (Waters) toward Dodge Lake. Logging is also taking place on trail #4 along the powerline that crosses Evergreen Drive and near Turtle Lake Road (East of Gaylord). The logging trucks may use the trail as a road at times. Proceed with caution in these areas. Trails are still passable and the groomers are doing their best to smooth the trails out in these areas.
If this winter is anything like last year, it’s going to be another epic one! Want to be ready? Get a free trail map delivered right to your mailbox and plan your adventure!
Check out a live view of trail # 7 here.
A few things to remember about our groomers and trails:
– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way.
– Please move off the trail when groomers are approaching and allow them to safely pass.
– If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass.
– Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night, so stay alert.
– Always ride on the right side of the trail.
– Ride safe and ride sober.

32 degrees and calm and quiet out there. No new snow and its icy and mostly dry but my lake is emerging in the back parking lot. My nieghbors were just here and they are going to try to ride to the bridge. I told them to send me a picture, we will see how that works out. There is a prediction of 1 to 4 inches for today but I do not think that will help much. I have a piece of property that I keep plowed out and that was all down to dirt this morning. The wait is on again. I have heard from a couple people that are heading for the u.p. but I dont know that its much better up there. A big SHOUT OUT to Andy Crowe who came up with this great MO MO NAH CHEE NAH graphic. Also had another group of the Hummel Family from Atlanta Georgia that stopped in yesterday They were not letting the not enough snow spoil their trip north. This is their pic out front of Sledheads. Lets see if we get any new snow today. Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Feb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions. Colder Saturday, with a few flurries around again, and then, you guessed it, more snow chances going into early next week…though signals point toward a warming trend during this period as well. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie#traversecity#petoskeyFeb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions.
