Trail 109 from Twin Lakes to Alston is a mess yet but a group from Krupps Resort led by Josh and Casandra have been out working hard cleaning up the tree debris
I’m not sure how far they have gotten but are heading out again today
If your feeling the need to ride they could use some help down that way
It should be a great weekend to be up here on a sled

😳 We received another 12+ inches of snow yesterday for a total of 35 over the last 6 days! A season total of 325 inches- already topping last years entire season total! 👏
⚠️ If you are trying to arrive prior to the storm, hopefully you are on your way, as conditions do not appear to be safe to travel on Sunday and Monday!
Forecasters are saying this storm has the potential to be record breaking! 🥇 No matter how much we actually receive, conditions are going to be epic……. AFTER clubs have the opportunity to get out and groom the trails! Remember, during blizzard like conditions, the operators safety is always considered first!
Brent Mason decided to get back up here yesterday and conditions did not disappoint! Brent shared these photos with us! Thanks as always, Brent for everything you do to help support the clubs and community while in the Keweenaw! #keweenaw #snowphotos
❄️ First wave of snow in the books - let's see what the weekend brings! #keweenaw #snowphotos

Since making this video we received 2 more inches putting us at 10 inches since 10:30 last night. That puts Toivola at 278 inches total for this season. Never give up on the Yoop.

A quick hitting, strong clipper continues to bring widespread moderate to heavy snow and high winds to the area this morning. After a brief lull in snow around daybreak, an increase in northerly winds and lake effect snow will return hazardous conditions to the north winds snowbelts this early afternoon.
Our attention then turns to a major winter storm set to impact the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region this weekend into early next week. Confidence is continuing to grow regarding significant snowfall accumulations (potentially record breaking) and blizzard conditions that may result in widespread impacts.
