Today Jason Dowiasch shared these photos and comments from his ride with his father today….. the even more awesome part is that Jason’s father had not been on a sled in over THIRTY years!
I have such fond memories of sledding with my father and wish he were still alive to share a ride on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula with him!

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.

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.

Just 5 days left in the snowmobile trail season but off trail rides should last quite awhile here with the snowpack we have
And it’s coming down pretty good this morning
20 miles south is basically dirt but Mass City to Copper Harbor has plenty of snow and the Keweenaw snowmobile club is still grooming from Toivola north to Copper Harbor and reports have been great
The Superior snowmobile club has finished grooming early this year so extremely bumpy from Toivola and south
If your a snow lover like me, get up here now for a trail ride otherwise spring off trail rides are the best and ya have at least a month left for that
Check out the Shackiecam 24/7 here on beautiful Lake Roland
