He was able to get to town but said the sidewalks were plowed along the canal. Tho he couldn’t go past there he said he still had a great time! ❄️ Now today we’re are in yet another winter storm advisory supposed to to get a possible of 10-13” by tomorrow morning.

After receiving about a foot of fresh snow Sunday/Monday, Mike Rode and a few other groups took the trails to scratch that never ending itch this lack of winter has brought ….. they were not disappointed! After a great day Monday riding, Tuesday brought warm temps and rain and then last night temps dropped and changed to snow…… and now we are faced with another winter storm warning! 🙈 <> <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A cold front will bring light rain and snow showers to the UP today with some lingering snow showers near Lake Superior late.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> Never say never! Literally just about every season riders say “it’s over…. Long before it’s truly over” in SOME riders eyes!

Less than 15 hours ago Ryan Bennet decided there wasn’t chance he was missing out on a little end of the season throttle therapy. Ryan arrived at Krupps Resortearly this morning after the long drive from Crntral Illinois, slept for a little bit and then hit the trail early.
Ryan is a long time rider of the Keweenaw and usually shares full reviews of his rides so others can see current conditions. In typical winters Ryan will log a LARGE amount of miles for a season along with high mileage days. In the 2021/22 season Ryan put on over 5200 miles and a 377 mile single day is not completely unusual for him!
This trip will definitely create a bit of a challenge for him in regards to be able to ride a usual and typical amount of miles as the Portage Lake Lift Bridge was closed prior to the season ending. This means Ryan was not able to head north into the Keweenaw this morning. Trail conditions took a pretty big hit further south yesterday, with the warm temps and sun, this will limit his mileage, along with the fact that trail 13 is closed.
Early this morning Ryan headed from Krupp’s to Houghton and shared a photo of the bridge and canal. Ryan said, “Made it from Krupps to Houghton and back, Trail 3 is fair to good, excellent late season conditions for not grooming!”
Thanks for sharing Ryan, we look forward to hearing how the rest of your day goes! Enjoy!
‘Snownlyfans’ decided yesterday to chase some snow himself, from Sebewaing to Mass City – an 8 hour drive! After arriving last night at Adventure Motel, Snownlyfans got started early this morning and rode from Mass City to Houghton, Houghton to Sidnaw and back to Mass City! He already has 195 miles on today. Snownlyfans shared some photos and comments on riding. He said, “Can’t tell you his much snow I was pushing with my bumper from Mass City to Krupp’s Mini Mart, but it’s DEEP! Continued up to the South Range Pub, but it was closed 😩 Rode up to Houghton and then back south. Tried to ride into Sidnaw but unfortunately some of the trail was plowed. Oh well…..195 mile day!”
Thanks for sharing Snownlyfans! Glad you were able to get some throttle therapy in!
Note: please see posts from earlier today detailing information for riders and other reports from riders!
It just shy of 18” on the snow stick
Spring rides are the best
Check out the Lakesquatch cam as it builds snow depth FINALLY

We got 3 inches of fresh snow on top of all that slush. It’s still real soft underneath the fresh stuff. They’re still calling for lots more to come so hang on and watch for more updates.

Not a snow flake has fallen in Toivola yet. It does look like a little something maybe this afternoon. Looks like it moved to the east and Marquetteis still under a storm advisory.

“We rode 5 hours yesterday. Trail 3 from The Trailside Lodge ➡️ Trail 132 around Lac La Belle ➡️ Trail 134 ➡️ 136 to High Rock! Excuse me if I have any trail #s wrong, but they were all great trails! Even if icy in areas, still in good shape. It was a fantastic day! We ended our season at High Rock. Trail 136 was very rideable, better than I've seen it in past!
Thanks for all of your great info this season! Your posts are great and helpful info. Thank you! We appreciate you!”
Thank you so much for sharing and your words of appreciation! It’s great to hear you are glad you made the choice to come ride the Keweenaw one last time this season! #keweenaw #snowphotos
We get it…. Spring riding isn’t for everyone…but for those that do enjoy, what can sometimes be a challenge, but “worth it” to them, we will keep updating you!
John Vogler rode the Keweenaw today and this was his detailed report
“hi there . here is our ride today:
tried to find a place to park, ended up parking by Vansville/Cliff View. We rode trail 3 north, pretty "snicy" as we like to call it - snow and ice. A little chop to it, a recent groomer run would have helped huge. We got to 132W, took that down toward Lac La Belle. This trail was excellent. There were a couple washouts where it said wet area, but small spots. We were very happy. Tgen we continued up on 132, it was pretty good, very little chop. We then took 134 east. 134 had a little chop to.it, but decent, again, a groomer run here yesterday would have made it excellent. We took 134 around then 135 back down to 134. This was a little snicy. couple bare spots, but could go around them no problem. Then 134, and 3 back to the truck. It was overall ok to pretty decent. a groomer run would have made it perfect, but I guess they aren't running and not sure why. Trail 3 was a little icy coming back. Hope this helps others. Thanks!”
Thanks John for that update and happy to hear you were able to enjoy the day of late season riding.
Only time will tell what this incoming “storm” actually produces. We just want you to be aware, of the forecast and potential for still riding if you choose to do so. Please checkout www.keweenawcountyonline.org to see previous years snowfalls. It appears the majority of this forecasted storm will head closer to the Big Bay/Kiva area as Bob shared in screenshots from Accuweather!
Thanks again, John, for sharing your update! #keweenaw #snowphotos
