Warm weather and heavy, heavy traffic are taking their toll on our snowmobile trails. Conditions have been downgraded to fair to good on most trails, and poor to fair intown and Trail 133. Everything is still pretty much snow covered, but the temps and traffic are not good. Ski trails remain in great shape tho – you can have a lot more skiers over a section of trail and still keep your good conditions. – via

This is the Keweenaw trail system report for Friday, February 3, 2012.

The snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and groomers are out working on them. Trails are in fair to good condition except for intown areas and Trail 133 which is poor to fair. Everything is still pretty much snow covered, but warm temperatures and heavy traffic are taking a toll on the trails. Remember to watch out for the groomers when you’re out on the trails….they have the right of way!!! Please watch out for deer on the trails too.

Please be aware that if you snowmobile on U.S. Coast Guard property you could face federal trespass charges.

The Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau asks that you stay on the trails, STAY OFF THE ICE, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, please, drive safely. The signs on the snowmobile trails are there for the riders’ safety. Please, DO NOT remove or destroy these signs.

Snowmobile Report:

Date: 02/02/12

Trails–In very good shape with some worn areas.
We have gotten some warm weather over the last few days but the trails are holding up pretty well. The biggest issue would be on Trail 8 going east as it has been pretty well used the last few days and is rough in a few area. Otherwise the trails are in solid good to very good shape in the area. Groomers are doing a good job of keeping up the trails in nice riding shape.

Weather: mild temperatures are expected for the next few days with it cooling off early next week. Light snow accumulations expected throughout next week as well.

Snowcover: Snow Cover on Ground in Ishpeming: 16++
Snow Cover in Big Bay, Just to our NORTH: 16++
