WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> I'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday. Snowfall accumulations could be 1-2', if not higher, as high-res model guidance comes in when we get closer.
Another lake-effect snow event is increasingly likely behind an arctic front next Wednesday night through Friday, which we will need to keep an eye on. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyI'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Snowmobile Trail Update ❄️
We picked up 8–10 inches of fresh snow this weekend here in Ontonagon and it was just what the trails needed! This snowfall helped freshen things up and improve overall riding conditions across the area.
It’s still early season riding, so expect some thinner spots, wet areas and changing conditions, but the good news is all trails are open and rideable — and there are even some really good stretches out there already.
A big thank-you to the groomers and volunteers who have been putting in the time to make this happen. Ride smart, ride within your limits, and enjoy the fresh snow! 🛷❄️ #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Snowmobile Trail Update ❄️

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Good afternoon, Sledheads:
We got out to groom last night covering Trail 13 - Trail 101 - Trail 137 and Trail 12 from 101 to White Pine. We still have wet spots due to the recent warm-up last week, and have not yet been able to build ramps at the elevated driveways along Hwy 64 so ride with caution.
Yesterday, Mac & Rick took down the "widowmaker" over Trail 1 in the woods just North of the junction of Trail 1 and Trail 102. The high winds keep blowing the fresh fluffy snow off Trail 1 along Lake Superior, so we are still not grooming that section. Mac will be out this afternoon grooming the road section of Trail 1 north of the ski hill to Lake of the Clouds. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosGood afternoon, Sledheads:

SIDNAW - WESTERN U.P. via Sno Valley Riders Snowmobile Club >> ❄️🌒 Happy Winter Solstice! 🌒❄️
Today marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year — and the slow return of longer, brighter days.

➡️ We’re officially sliding into the heart of winter!
More snow, more rides, and more time on the trails are just around the corner.
Wherever you are today, we hope you find a little light, warmth, and maybe even a fresh dusting of snow.
Stay safe, ride smart, and remember: Ride Right, Lead Right — and the groomer always has the right of way! ❄️🚜
