"An annual average of 200 to 300 inches of snow make the Upper Peninsula a playground for winter enthusiasts plus 3,000 miles of snowmobile trails, 14 steep ski areas and ice caves. But there’s only been 116 inches in the Keweenaw Peninsula to date..."

This winter has been... Awful. There really isn't any other words for it.

Unseasonably warm weather has hollowed out the Upper Peninsula's snow economy, devastating businesses that rely on a bustling winter season.

VACANCY ALERT!!

If you are coming up to ride and need a place to crash, check us out!

If you’re traveling, please be safe! Roads are all ice and now the snow is kicking in. Total accumulations have been increased to 5-10” now.

I am not one to mock mental health but Mother Nature needs to take her meds and we need to end this toxic relationship. Regardless of what weather app you use or follow, snow is coming tomorrow. Will the trails be rideable? Well... It's supposed to be 50 today and 16 tomorrow. So 🤷🏽‍♀️. We were able to find snow in the woods last weekend and others around the area were reporting the same. Dirt where the sun hits but base where it doesn't. Your call is as good as mine.

Our saving grace is that there will be a potential flash freeze before the snow hits so that will prevent mud slushes hopefully.

We do have availability this weekend so if you are itching to get out, please contact us!

If anyone is in the area and looking for something to do, check out the Kinross snowmobile race at the Chippewa County Fairgrounds!!!!

We are sooo happy that Mother Nature decided to show up! If she sticks around, maybe we won't charge her a late fee 😂

02/16/2024

VACANCY ALERT!!! Snap it up quickly!

We currently have about 5" of packable snow on the ground and all weather stations are reporting more accumulation through 4pm today, snow tomorrow and more on Sunday! If you are itching to get out we can help you out!

Yes I know it's not ideal but it's doable and with the season we are having, opportunities to get out have been slim. If you need perfect conditions, now is not your time. If you don't mind early or late season riding, head on up.

All surrounding areas North and West are reporting that gates are reopening (with the exception of the swamps) and some groomers are heading out to pan!

He was right about the last system... We got about 4" of heavy wet snow overnight thru this morning!!! Here is the projection for the next system coming tonight thru Friday!!!

The sacrifice seems to have worked... keep those snow dances coming!

-Snowfall Forecast Thursday-Friday-

A deformation band is developing in Southern South Dakota and northern Nebraska and is expected to move east/southeast through the day and night. Convection is expected to develop in Missouri and Illinois as a surface low strengthens, so another area of 1-3" is expected. This forecast is challenging because the deformation band will be narrow. In that band, travel will be impacted, especially overnight tonight and Thursday morning as a few inches of snow is expected.

Lake effect will continue along Lake Superior with several inches of snow in spots. This forecast ends at midnight tomorrow (Friday) night, but additional accumulations along Lake Superior are expected on Saturday.

A cold front is currently crossing the state. Some colder air will funnel down behind as winds turn to the west northwest, and touch off some lake effect snow showers. The heaviest snow will be in the U.P., where 4 to 8 inches of snow could fall. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Alger, Luce, Northern Schoolcraft, Western Chippewa, and Central Chippewa counties through 7am Wednesday.

Yes it seems like a lot... But there is a lot behind the scenes that the weekend warrior doesn't get to see. Please be kind to our groomers. Please stay on the trails. Please look out for one another. And, if you are able, become a member and volunteer.. they will welcome you with open arms!

Ride right. Be safe. Have fun and make good choices.

Just so you know...

Ride right, be safe and make good choices

On this final day of November, we give thanks to our amazing landowners who so graciously allow trail access across their property. On our 103 miles of trails, we have sixty, yes 60, AWESOME landowners that we work with year in and year out to allow access for you to ride. That’s a landowner every 1.7 miles! Without them, there would be no trail system in our area. Please think about this when you head out to ride. Stay on the trails and respect their property. Encourage your fellow riders to do the same. Some gates on private property will not be open tomorrow. If they are closed, it’s for a good reason. We had guys out opening gates today and they said many of the areas are still very wet so use caution, as always.

Thank you again to all of our incredible member supporters, our landowners, and all who support them and us in any way!

1 day! Let’s goooooooo!❄️❄️❄️

Great report by our neighbors just North of us in Strongs... Patience will pay off for everyone!

Update since I made this post, the afternoon Temps are softening things up quite a bit. And settling the snow alot, will try and update again in morning.

Here's the deal Thursday November 30th as of now!!

We have had a lot of messages and requests for conditions as opening day is under 12 hours away!! The 11 to 14 inches we received earlier in the week is still here, yesterday and today we got above freezing during mid day which in my opinion will help this snow and trails, road sides not so much. The night Temps are still very cold. I went out and checked some trails around here. Could you ride??? Yes, would I ride my sleds? Some of them!! We are close. Yes very close!! Don't get me wrong I would love for all of you to come on up this weekend to start the season and say their great, but thats not true, are the conditions perfect? NO!!! I spoke to the Snow Chasers and it looks like unless something drastic happens they will be going out to pan, pack and fill and holes that they can. If the trails pack as well as the Clarke's property after I rolled it, they could be much better!! So as I write this I'm just trying to be as honest as I can, are things great?? NO, Are things bad? NO. It's a good start, More snow would change things for the better real quick. Thanks everyone!!
