KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports – 03/10
Not looking very good for any riding today. It just started a light rain at 44° and we lost a lot of snow in the past 24 hours. I show almost a 6" drop in the snow depth since yesterday. It is supposed to get colder and change over to snow but very little. Then 4-5 days of above freezing and sun. ☠Stretch

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 03/09
Well…..after the previous “Debbie Downer” post….. here’s a bit more upbeat!
Very jealous Adam Garvey!
Adam rode out of Lac La Belle this morning, did some riding on the way to breakfast…..
Adam said, “100 miles before breakfast, now time to park them until it cools back down! Trails 124,122, 130 and trail 3 from Lake Linden to Copper Harbor still in good shape, a little snirt but not much 132 n 134 great except last 6 miles to highrock which is rough.”
Now that’s the way to start a day Adam! Thanks for sharing and making us all jealous!
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning. A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations. After another quiet day on Monday, another system brings a mix of rain and snow to the area on Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaQuieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The Trailside Lodge >> Well… Mother Nature heard us complaining about that warm-up and said absolutely NOT. ❄️ Colder temps and snowy powder falling all day long. Not mad about it. In fact... let’s keep it coming. The sleds are out there having an absolute blast on the trails. And yeah, we’re pretty sure the customers are having fun too… based on the grins (behind the helmets of course), throttle therapy, and lack of urgency to come back 😎 #keweenaw#snowphotosWell… Mother Nature heard us complaining about that warm-up and said absolutely NOT. ❄️

📸 Pic details for the trail detectives: This photo was taken right along Trail #17 between Calumet and Houghton, and those good-looking machines are 3 of our Ski-Doo 600 Backcountries E-TEC's.
🏨 Little bonus perk: Our hotel rooms are located right at the same spot as our rentals. Ride all day, park your sled right at your door, warm up, relax, and repeat. No trailering. No nonsense.
Colder temps, snowy trails, happy sleds, and zero complaints today. Who’s ready to ride? ❄️😏 ... See MoreSee Less
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 10 January 2026 It looks like everyone was out last night working on our trails. Reports are the trails were in pretty bad shape but seemed to groom well despite the snow being like sugar. The fresh snow will help make it more workable tonight. Get the Groomer Tracker app on your phone so you'll be able to see who's been out laying that ribbon. ☠️ Stretch Western UP Trail Reports Web Cam video.nest.com/live/4BKmS6XRiT#keweenaw10 January 2026

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 10 January 2026 Good thing I'm not a meteorologist because I guessed this one pretty bad. I had said yesterday that I didn't think we'd get but about an inch of snow. Well we're at 3 inches as of 4pm today and they claim it's going to continue till tomorrow morning. ☠️ Stretch Western UP Trail Reports Web Cam video.nest.com/live/4BKmS6XRiT#keweenaw#snowphotos10 January 2026

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.

WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here's the updated 24-hour snowfall forecast through 7am Sunday (top figure) compared to the same forecast from two days ago (bottom figure). No big changes for the UP, although a bit more snow is now forecast for the Keweenaw and central UP. Not a bad way to make up for the recent warmup! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey ...

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Dry weather persists for most of tonight. Then, light to moderate snow spreads across the UP early Saturday morning through the afternoon, with lingering lake effect snow in the north wind snow belts Saturday night. Lake effect winds down Sunday. Expect light snowfall amounts for most of the UP, but lake effect/enhanced snow may lead to locally higher amounts in excess of 4” across the snow belts of the western, north-central, and eastern UP by Sunday. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaDry weather persists for most of tonight.
