Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/01

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club – 3/01

Groomer Todd reporting:

Fwd:Good Morning Everyone. Sadly today is March 1st which means the season is coming to an end soon, the good news is the trails are in really great condition yet. Trail 13 East out of Greenland was groomed early this morning to the Sleepy River bridge and then back to Greenland. I was able to make it up the hills along the river in the Hunt Camp area so the entire trail was groomed.

I would rate the trail in great condition. There are no hazards or wet areas to report. In the one picture you can see the Adventure Mountain Lions Ski Hill in the distance on the right. I never tire of views like this when I’m out on my runs. Enjoy trail 13 today should you choose to ride it and have a splendid Wednesday.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 30 December 2025
I meant to do a video yesterday after the Storm but I spent most of the day moving snow. So we have some trees down again and hope to have them taken care of today and get back to grooming tonight. It was pretty cool meeting Todd while I was doing a trail report today.

Gaylord Area Trail Report – 03/01

Gaylord Bureau –

Feb 28, 2023 – 9:56 a.m.

Snow, baby, snow! The Gaylord area received 10-12 inches of fluffy snow last week. Trails have been groomed and are in good condition. Groomers have been out regularly. Please remember that the groomers have a job to do – moving aside and letting them pass by at a safe distance is very appreciated. Be safe and have fun!

As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports.

Sledheads of Frederic – 03/01

WOW again but in a totally different view. It is so hard to believe that we had such an incredible perfect condition snowfall on Monday afternoon and night. Sleds were out all over. Tuesday morning my brother and I decided to go for a ride leaving Frederic about 11 a.m. Lots of sleds out enjoying the perfect conditions. We rode freshly groomed trails from the Kalkasa system out to Shirleys for lunch and then Cranberry Lake trail south of 72 finding lots of great snow. Then all of a sudden in just a couple hours dirt started showing thru trails and roads were clearing fast. We had a good 8 inches of new snow just hours before. So things went from fantastic to poor in no time. Back to just watching and hoping for new snow to hit us. What a roller coaster of a winter. Pic below is my brother and I stopped at my house on the way back to Frederic, I didnt like skidding my sled down the pavement back to the trail. Thanks for checking in. Pete
