KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club >> 03/04
Yesterday’s report from Groomer Chris out of our Greenland barn:
I just got back from inspecting 3/13. Roughly 18 bare spots this evening compared to the two that were there when I went out around noon. Most of the bare spots are 3-4′ in diameter however there is about a 16′ long bare spot on the 90 degree turn/hill by 3. Significant portions of the trails are pretty slushy and the snow is real loose on the majority of the trails. Thankfully 13 is still in decent shape however the stretch of 3 from aspen lane to the 3/12 intersection is full of small 6″ or so moguls.
I’m gonna hold off on grooming because the snow is so wet I don’t think I’ll be able to get it to flow out the drag and it’s not gonna get cold enough to firm up the snow.
Thank you, Chris!

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.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> Have you called it “quits”?! Summarized the sled and started preparing the spring/summer season toys? OR do you still have plans to ride yet?!
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
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The Lakeshack >> After today it’s the start of spring rides
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

Please don't drink and ride.
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 31 March 2026
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.
