Things are shaping up nicely, we’ve groomed everything except the High Rock Spur Trail. MANY wet areas exist across our system, hoping this cold will freeze things up. Come support KEWEENAW, ride with caution! Ride right, ride safe! Thanks, <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/17 HOLY WAH! It’s a true winter wonderland here in the Keweenaw! Look at these snowfall totals over the last 5 days! FORTY-SIX inches of fresh white gold has fallen! The Keweenaw Snowmobile Club has been out working tirelessly getting the trails opened up! As of this morning they had covered every trail with the exception of trail 133 from Gay to Lac la Belle and the High Rock Trail Spur! Please continue to ride with caution as they are still reporting that “there continue to be water holes, trees, and thin spots.” You can checkout daily updates on the Visit Keweenaw website https://www.visitkeweenaw.com/…/snowfall-trail-conditions/ 👏 In case you missed the news: Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden has been reopened and it is awesome to be able to ride that section of trail after it being closed since the Fathers Day Flood of 2018! If you have a future trip planned to the Keweenaw you can also request a free paper copy trail map be mailed to you here ➡ https://www.visitkeweenaw.com/plan/free-area-guides/ Tons of good information can be found on the Visit Keweenaw website! Did you know you can have real time grooming operation information right on your own phone? Please download the Groomer Tracker app and subscribe to the KSC trail system. There is a nominal fee of $9.99 and half of the fee comes right back to the club to help with grooming operations! This enables you to see the recent and current grooming status of every trail!

So all the green is the trail groomed in the last 12 hours. That should tell you were all the snow is really at. Get Groomer Tracker on your phone so you’ll know too. It’s real simple to down load the app, then pick the clubs you want to follow. Pay your $10 per club and $5 goes to the club. That’s a win/win deal.

Looks like Saturday is going to be the nicest day in the past 2 weeks, 20° and partly cloudy. So if you're coming up this weekend the trails are in very good shape and warmer temps.
