We would reply:
✅ A visit to the Keweenaw is always worth it!
✅Grooming has been TEMPORARILY paused, pretty much all across the Upper Peninsula, due to the warm temps
✅ There IS snow in the forecast and colder temps
✅There are SO many things to do in the area in addition to snowmobiling!
✅The CopperDog Events start on Friday! This is an incredible “don’t miss” event to see
✅Boondock Inn U.P. North Resort is hosting The Semi Retired Iron weekend event : Findout more here -https://www.facebook.com/share/161qfrZRTk/?mibextid=wwXIfr
✅Cliff View Bar located right on Trail 3 north of Mohawk has REOPENED
✅Restaurants, Bars, Lodging etc are always happy to see you!
We understand some of you are driving long distances, etc BUT no one else can make the decision for you of “is it worth it” That is far too much of a subjective question!
Road crossings and some parking lots, for the most part are bare, however the trails are still covered in snow! Before this warm up we had received 85 inches of snow in February for a season total so far of close to 240 inches!
Riders out over the weekend and yesterday(Monday) had this to say:
Mike Aschliman “The trails held up pretty nice, but we have our “spots” that most don’t go, so it keeps them fresh. We love it!
Wow is there is still plenty of good snow and areas with a ton more lol. 5-8 foot of base in most the good areas. (Off trail) Saturday night and Sunday trails were flat and fast but even today(Monday) they held up great and were amazing for the temps we had.. keep up the great work. We greatly appreciate the Keweenaw Trail Reports fb page updates”
❄🩵
We also had a queen riding the trails of the Keweenaw on Monday! Holly is the face behind Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association fb page, Groomer Operator, Board Member, etc over on the East side! We are sure all of you that ride that area, LOVE everything Holly does to keep you updated! She is the bomb 💣 and pours so much heart and soul into helping ensure riders ha the best possible experiences! Holly was joined by her husband, Jason (also huge part of the club and Groomer Operator) and friend
Holly Ann shared photos and said, “Despite grooming being on hold, we had mostly very good trails today,
everywhere north of Calumet, even at 45 degrees! A testament to the work they’ve put in all season. My fist time to the Keweenaw in winter, and can’t wait to come back when conditions are even better! I included a few of the zillions of pics from the Keweenaw today. Spring temps, and MID winter snow depths🙌🏼❄💙
Trails 17 and 3 from Calumet south are really rough, but north of there was awesome! The streeys are pretty bare in Eagle Harbor, so may want to mention that, but the trail between Eagle River and Eagle River (trail 130) was beautiful!”
Hope this helps some of you with your upcoming plans!
Thanks Holly, Mike and ALL who share their riding experiences!! 🩵❄👏

Looks like we're going get another 8 inches of snow starting tonight. That should put us close to 320 for the season. Not a bad year.

This not an April fools joke. Keweenaw Snowmobile Club and Baraga are giving the trails one more shot on the last night of grooming. Should be sweet after we get the snow they are calling for.

It’s really hard to say the “official 2025/26” snowmobile season has ended….. so we will only say grooming operations have ended and gates on trails crossing private land will be locked as of 4/1/26.
With the upcoming forecast ❄️🩵 and trails still being in excellent 🤩 condition, it should be noted for those that still want to ride… You CAN!
❌ Private land leases end and gates will close on 4/1/26
❌Portage Lake Lift Bridge gates will close on 4/1/26
🟢 Trails on state land do not “close” but be aware you could encounter ORV’s on these trails. For detailed information please check the DNR interactive maps
🟢 Trail 3 from Lake Linden to Hancock can be ridden at any time of the year
🟢 Trail 17 from Calumet to Hancock can be ridden at any time of the year
🟢 Trail 3 running south out of Houghton to Mass City area can be ridden at any time
Please respect private land owner rights. We can't have a trail system without their support.

✅ 134
The night before, the club groomed:
3,17,122,130,132,132w,133,134,135,151,152
Plenty of great riding to still be done! Nikki McGill is officially calling it quits on her season and just left the Keweenaw! Nikki said, “Wow! What a great last snowmobile trip of the season ❄️❄️ 🩵 Wrapped up the season last weekend with 4 days of flat & fast trails, and ended the last day with the Vintage Snowmobile Run For Fun Fundraiser for the Valley Sno Drifters🛷
Total of 2000 miles this season on my sled, with 6500 miles on it now 😬
Officially put a fork 🍴 in it!!
What a fun season with trail riding, along with a great race season and a win @ Chetek Winter Fest. 🏁🏁

Thanks for sharing Nikki! #keweenaw #snowphotos
Well most trails close after today, Trail 3 is open all year and there’s plenty of snow left in these parts
It’s kinda sad dayfor trail riders especially since reports from Toivola north trails are reporting excellent conditions and a snowstorm in the forecast!
But gates will be locked up till next season
Personally right now starts my favorite rides of the year
Warm temps(sometimes tee shirt weather) but the beauty of the creeks and waterfalls are gorgeous!
I’m sure I’ll be sharing pictures for another month and will post here so y’all can ride vicariously through me!
It’s been a great winter
I’m pretty sure this will be my last season of riding with my battle with ALS
My body is giving up on me but not my spirit so stay tuned, ya never know
Check out my live cam and see the snowpack melt and maybe grow as the forecast is looking interesting

This is a sad day having to say that it's the last day of the season. Keep in mind if you are riding today the bridge will be closed tonight. I've even had Houghton start taking the snow off the sidewalk during the day.
