Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates
● Michigan Tech – Good Morning! Due to excessively warm temperatures we will be suspending grooming operations for today. The track set is holding up well and the skate deck is still firm. Do expect good conditions getting softer as the day progresses. Rest assured knowing the Crew is resting up for the incoming snow events and we should be getting back to a normal grooming schedule tomorrow. (12/18/2025)
● Swedetown – Due to the high temps and rain forecasted for today, we are going to be skipping grooming this morning. Hopefully, the rain turns to snow quickly and we can groom in a fresh clean bunch of snow tomorrow. (12/18/2025)
● Swedetown Snow Bike - Hi all! Now that most of the Ski trails are opened up, we can start focusing on opening up Snowbike trails. Due to the high winds and heavy snow that fell during that first storm of the season, there is a LOT of tree damage that needs to be cleared in order for that to happen. Groomers will be working on loops 1-3 this week, but any and all volunteer help that we can get would be MUCH appreciated. In case you are not aware, snowbike trails are marked with orange paint on the trees on the right hand side of the trail. Old markings were blue on the right and yellow on the left, which is still current in many spots, but other sections have been re-routed, so trust the orange. Feel free to go clear on your own, otherwise please reach out to Dean@woodbeck.org to let us know that you might be interested in helping us out. Thanks for your patience! (12/14/2025)
● Chassell Ski Trails- Actuators working again!(12/14/2025)
● Chassell Snowshoe Trails - I went out today to do a final walk through most of the trails for a final packing to hopefully solidify the base a bit more before the mild weather arrives. All of the Green, Blue, and Orange trails are done. Bottom half of Yellow done. (12/15/2025)
● Churning Rapids & Maasto – All trails that have been cleared are rolled and tracked. (12/14/2025)
● Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Trails groomed Monday evening. Should be good riding on Tuesday morning, but it could soften up with the warm temperatures later in the day. The High Point Road trailhead will still be the best access point while the final ski trail cleanup is still happening. (12/16/2025)
● Eagle Harbor – No update. (12/1/2025)
● Copper Harbor Trails Club "End of the Road Trails" – Rock Solid Trails out clearing trails. (12/16/2025) Visitkeweenaw.com
