Friday March 7th
Ended up doing a video out on the Fire Steel Bridges (I was forced into it). I ran down and met Todd and the gang at The Pit Stop Bar & Grill in Greenland. Then we shot up to Alston. Trails where in pretty good shape early on but like every day was getting rough after 5:00. The reroute on trail 3 in Twin Lakes was brutal. Those aren’t moguls they’re more like small mountains. Lol
Thank you Pat’s Motorsports for getting Todd back on the trail. It would have been a long walk back to Negaunee.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 14 December 2025
Things are looking real good so far this year. The trails that have been groomed are staying flat and are in very good shape. Hopefully this week all the clubs can wrap up getting the rest of our trail system opened up.
THINK SNOW!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> Brrrrrr….. 🥶it was definitely a cold day to ride the Keweenaw, but Jason Kremer definitely wasn’t complaining!
Jason and crew headed out today from the Ramada in Hancock and rode up to Copper Harbor for the Winter Wonderfest & Park
Lighting Event! (Checkout the video Jason shared with us in the comments!)
Jason is a frequent rider of the Keweenaw and today definitely didn’t disappoint! Jason shared these photos and said, “You definitely need to tode to Copper Harbor tomorrow! Trails are not freshly groomed but they are flat and fast! The only slightly bumpy part was the trail up Brockway, but not bad for a Saturday in the Kee! There is zero traffic today, only met one group of sledders all the way from Hancock to Copper Harbor. Having a blast, will send you pics when I get service. Maybe we will run into a groomer on the way back!”
Well, as you can see from one of Jason’s photos, they did come across a groomer on the way back from Copper Harbor!
We hope you all enjoyed your Saturday as much as Jason did!
Please note as of right now the, The Portage Lake Lift Bridge is not yet open for snowmobile crossing. That means you can not cross from Houghton to Hancock…. yet.
The Coast Guard needed to close the shipping lanes and then the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club and the city need to coordinate laying the snow mat for sled crossing…. Hopefully, very soon!
Thanks as always for sharing, Jason! #keweenaw #snowphotos

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Fletchy’s Otter Belly Lodge >> Imagine this: it’s 9pm & 10 degrees out on a crystal clear night in the Keweenaw. You’re on a narrow trail in the middle of the woods. Hundreds of miles of untouched trails ahead of you.
Throttle to the bars. Like a rocket ship you accelerate forward. Pines shimmer in your headlights. You and your sled become one. Every worry melts away.
You let off and come to a stop. You shut it down. Absolute silence. Moon above. Stars dancing. NOTHING BEATS THIS!
Had my first ride of the year tonight and it NEVER gets old ❄️

Ontonagon Area Trail Report – 03/08

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/08

What an absolutely amazing day! I had the pleasure of giving some of our guests a tour, and we couldn’t have asked for better conditions. The trails were fantastic! Days like today remind me just how much I love this job!
1️⃣ Victoria Dam Falls – Completely iced over! I’ve never seen it like this before. Nature never ceases to amaze me! ❄️
2️⃣ Bonanza Falls – A quick stop to take in the beauty before heading up the trails. The fresh snow made everything look magical!
3️⃣ Lake of the Clouds – The final stop on today’s ride, and what a view! The perfect way to end an unforgettable tour. Thanks Arthur for taking over the last leg (had to go to back to the office).
If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, this is the place to be!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 03/08

We recommend using 137/12 rail grade to access Ontonagon rather than trail 12 down Norwich road. We have ceased grooming the ditch trail detour. Erika Hoffmann caught our crew headed out yesterday afternoon providing these great videos. We have 1 groomer down, but we’re keeping up!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> 03/07

Trails are incredible. Download Groomer Tracker to see the trails we groomed over the last 24 hours. We did a few passes down Rock Hill trail 13 to set it up for a great weekend. Great snow on the trails!! Be careful of water hazards opening up, but they’ll be navigable. Cold temps last night helped trails freeze in hard during our grooming. Trail 12 from 101 North/NE to Ontonagon is not groomed.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/06

A fresh dumping of snow has hit the Ontonagon and Porcupine Mountains area this week, with some spots reporting over 20 inches of new snowfall! This has provided a much-needed refresh to the trails, creating a fantastic base for riding.

Trail Conditions:
Groomers are working tirelessly to catch up with the heavy snowfall. With this much fresh powder, it may take a couple of days to get everything fully packed and smoothed out, but riders can still expect excellent conditions across the Western U.P. Some trails may be a bit soft until grooming efforts are complete, so plan accordingly and ride with caution.

What to Expect:
Plenty of fresh snow for great riding.

Groomers running regularly, but some trails may still be in progress.
Watch for deep snow in ungroomed sections and be prepared for changing conditions.
Cold temps should help maintain trail quality in the coming days.

This is shaping up to be one of the best weekends for riding this season, so get out and enjoy the fresh powder while it lasts! As always, ride safe, respect private property, and support the local businesses that keep our trail system alive.

For up-to-date trail conditions, be sure to check with local clubs and grooming reports.
Happy riding!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott’s Superior Inn and Cabins >> 03/06

The skies are clearing! The FRESH snow is DEEP! The groomers are headed OUT! We have 1 machine down and PB22 and NH20 are reporting for duty. Please ride slowly today with equipment out on the trails. Enjoy this video from North Coast Steve from Sunday night’s reset of rock hill trail 13 by the Ontonagon River.

Trails were mostly flat ahead of this snow, great riding ahead!

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Your Sunday evening 12-14-25 Groomer's report from the Bergland Area.
We received around 8"to 10" over the past 2 days from the latest storm. The snow and cold have been helping out tremendously!!
I was waiting to hear from one of our operators out currently who had just groomed 8w to see if thing's had improved but he hasn't replied. However 8w and 1n are currently being groomed.
Today we finally punched through 102. We'll let 102 set up for a day or 2 and run through her again without a drag.
Then 13 from Root Cellar north is the last section to open up along with access trail's. 🤞Mother Nature cooperates! We are moving forward and some sections are beautiful and other's just need time. Thanks everyone! Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Erika’s Trail Reports - Western UP/Porkies/Ottawa Forest/Ontonagon County >> 😍 GROOMING INSIDE A SNOW GLOBE 😍
❄️ WEEK 2 - ERIKA’S TRAIL REPORTS ❄️
(long post but worth the read)
While you were sleeping… 🌙
Our 1st official grooming (Team Trent & Erika) of the 2025-2026 season was MAGICAL!
With real feel of -15F and blizzard-like conditions, we groomed for 10 hours overnight (12/12-12/13) during heavy lake effect snow! North Country Snowmobile Club trail conditions have significantly improved thanks to the dedicated volunteers that have been cleaning the trails day and night for your enjoyment! We rated trails 101, 13 and 137 and unplowed forest roads tonight - EXCELLENT CONDITION!!! WOW, we can’t believe that it is only the 2nd week of December!
🚨 IMPORTANT REMINDERS 🚨
⚠️ Heavy lake effect snow going on all weekend: snow quickly accumulating on trails and with low visibility at times
⚠️ Trail 12 to Greenland has not been actively groomed yet;
⚠️ Trail 12/Norwich Road has not been actively groomed yet;
⚠️ Trails 1 and 11 (Porkies/Lake of the Clouds) are being worked on this weekend;
⚠️ Snow is deep and plentiful in the forest but lower accumulation near the lakefront
👏🏻 Many thanks to all the group of riders that we saw tonight for being mindful of the groomer. Let’s continue to enjoy snowmobiling in a responsible way and go home safely. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
