KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 02/23
Miranda Rutten and crew definitely made the best of unfortunate conditions while riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula!
Miranda shared these photos and comments, “Thank you for your information! We appreciate it! We brought a group of 8 riders from North Dakota, where there’s horrible trails. Even though the trails weren’t groomed all the time up here in the UP, we enjoyed all the snow and the views!! Glad to come back up here after a great visit in 2019! We hope the groomers get all up and running to finish out the season 😄 Thanks for the great ride Keweenaw! ”
Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful photos! Glad to hear you made the best of your trip!
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 02/22
Well we try to share the good, the bad and the ugly so all riders can be informed on conditions in the area….. this is one of those bad…. to actually almost ugly posts….
As you know the club has had a string of bad luck when it comes to actual grooming equipment….. 4 of the 5 machines were broke down. One machine was repaired today and both running machines are currently out grooming. The warm temps the area experienced today are also not favorable in regards to trails even having a chance to “set up” Parts are supposed to be in for two more of the machines and I believe the club hopes to have them running yet this week sometime…I can assure you the Groomer Operators are doing ALL that they can possibly do to try to provide the best possible trails. I just want you to know the reality of the situation as of today….
A local rider who spends a lot of time on the trails had this to say about today’s ride “As far as trails go, I would honestly recommend people stay away until things improve. Usually by Keweenaw standards our “poor”may be “fair to good” to people from other areas, however this is about the worst I’ve seen it, in February anyways. I only rode Brockway, Lac La Belle Loop and the Eagles Loop…couldn’t take it anymore, stopping at Eagle Harbor Inn and heading back.”

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 02/23
TRAIL REPORT – Tuesday, 2-23-2021
TRAILS TAKING A WARM WEATHER HIT! We received a dusting of new snow last night but did not help with temperatures in the low 30’s and 40 degrees right now. Operators reported fair grooming results with no balling-up snow last night but the trails would not set being this warm. Overall Good trails are staying fairly flat through the day with some icy corners developing and a few thin area bare spots. Ride with caution. Trail 8 from Shingleton to Trail 7 South is the highest used section of trail with snow sugary along that stretch. It has been a struggle this year and today’s weather will again have a negative impact on the trails so lets hope it is minimal. Keep the snow dances going as we have “heavy snow” in the forecast for Wednesday. It’s funny with the little amount of snow this season forecasters are considering only 2 to 5 inches “heavy snow”. Yesterday we moved the JD 7130 to the shop for some maintenance, repairs and track mods during this warm weather and plan to have it back on Trail 419 Thursday. Please respect residential property owners and STAY ON THE TRAIL, No Snowmobile Signs mean just that. Please DO NOT run the Powerlines off of Trail 419.
Our Team of volunteer Groomer Operators will continue to do their best to keep trails flat so; get out and ENJOY the Trails Ride Safe and Stay Tuned for updates! https://www.algersorva.com/trailreport/2-23-2021/

MUNISING AREA UPDATE VIA TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Our newest operator is catching on quick! Reinforcements from Pennsylvania have arrived also! We are hitting it hard for this weekend with a short preventative maintenance window planned for the machine on Saturday. Temps are warming up during the day, making the trail soft and letting moguls form, but temps will drop again for the weekend! That means better trails for Saturday. Looks warm for the start of next week with temps near 30 by Tuesday. Get out and ride while the riding is good! Ride right and ride safe! #munising#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
