Good riding to be had this week. Cabin is open through Thursday!

Boys are just finishing up another successful groom. We received a couple inches over night and expecting a couple more this morning. Come play where the cool kids ride.

The Woodford is open Sunday Feb 18 - Thurs Feb 22. The time to ride is now!!

All four trails were groomed last night. Calling it a good start to rebuilding the trails. Snowed hard during the night and is currently snowing. Sam took care of issue on Trail 8 east. Ride right and enjoy.

Winterfest is on!

Winterfest schedule is finalized! Unfortunately, the UP 200 sled dog races had to be canceled this year because of trail conditions… But that’s OK. We will honor those wonderful teams anyway!

Here is our weekend schedule… Grand Marais, MI will have lots of fun events and plenty of opportunity to still support UPSDA! There will be dog sledding demonstrations and opportunities to meet the amazing dogs, mushers and their support teams who drive this sport! 

02/07/2024

Events will range from a silent auction to a costume contest to a meet and greet with a sled dog racing team.

Giddy up, and here we go… mother nature dealt us another blow! But we are Yoopers, you can’t keep us down, we’ll still celebrate in our little town! Winterfest 2024!!

‘The Winter That Wasn’t ‘

It wasn’t the best for snowmobiling, skiing, skating, sledding, dog-sled races, businesses, or the local economy as a whole.

It wasn’t the best… but, it’s also not over!

So, instead of the ‘Winter That Wasn’t’ - let’s make it the ‘Winter That Was’… 🥰

It ‘Was the Winter’ …you ordered and had something shipped from that small business you love and enjoy so much during the summer months. 📬 (They’re depending on you to make it.)

It ‘Was the Winter’ ….you bought a gift certificate now, for a friend to use later! 🥰

It ‘Was the Winter’… you started to plan a spring or summer building project 😉. (Need a quote?)

It ‘Was the Winter’… you supported your community rather than going ‘out of town’ or bringing all your needs up with you.

It Was the Winter… you came up anyway!

You shopped, played, and stayed in Grand Marais!

It Was the Winter… You asked, “why? “

… Because every purchase, makes a BIG difference to the small business just waiting for you to come through the door!!

The warmer conditions have been a serious challenge for the area economy. If you want to come up and still enjoy some peaceful time away, visit the local businesses and restaurants who would love your support, please consider making the trip up to the UP! It’s beautiful 365 days of the year, and you won’t have to wait for a table anywhere! In an effort to support that, we have cut our prices in half through the 15th of Feb! Get on up here!
