Snowfall & Trail Conditions

Snowmobile Trail Conditions
● Good night across the system, We groomed trails- 3 from Toivola to Clear Lake, 17, & 134.
● We need more snow. Ride with caution as some trail hazards are becoming exposed.
● Please visit the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club Facebook page for additional info.
● Portage Lake Lift Bridge snowmobile trail is being set. Please do not drive snowmobiles across Bridge road/sidewalk.
● Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden has been reopened as of 2023.

Snowmobile Trail Closures
● Trail 122 is passable, but ride with caution: expect low snow mixed with mud and early season conditions.
● Keweenaw Snowmobile Club made an opening pass on Trail 133. It is extremely wet and not recommended to ride yet. More snow needed to freeze that trail in.
● Trail 124 is closed for logging.
● This is not enough snow yet to groom trails 151, and 152.
● Please respect private land owner rights. We can't have a trail system without their support.

Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates
● Michigan Tech – Our track set is strong with a dusting of lake effect. Crews are out pulling the Ginzus and addressing our Skate lanes. Conditions
are very Good. Crews should finish the Upper Trails by 8 AM, Lower Trails by 9:30 AM, and the Competition Trails by 11 AM. Tolkien will be
addressed last today, finishing closer to 2 PM. With no substantial snow forecasted for the foreseeable future, your MTU Trail Crew will be using
a "light touch" on the trails over the next couple of weeks in hopes of preserving our shrinking base. Base is measuring 4-6" on Down Under and
as much as 10" on areas of the Upper and Competition Trails. (12/19/2024)
● Calumet Lake Winter Trails - Got about 1-2" of snow today so I went out and groomed. Lake trail is looking better but will still need another 4-5"
before the boot prints will be filled and things will be smooth again. Slow but sure we're getting the revised signs up. Updated maps by
Christmas. Just a reminder if temps get above freezing please use snowshoes or skis, no boot only traffic. (12/19/2024)
● Swedetown – All trails have been groomed this morning and the track is still in good shape. Because of the amount of snow we lost because of
the last warm up, we are going to be very careful until we get more snow. Unfortunately when we groom we lose a certain amount of snow and
again please be patient until we get more.(12/18/2024)
● Swedetown Snow Bike -All loops double dragged. (12/18/2024)
● Chassell Trails - The Marinette Street Trailhead is now available for accessing the trail system. The parking area will be developed soon. Park on
Marinette Street for now if you choose to use this access point which allows skiers to avoid the cemetery hill. (12/17/2024)
● Chassell Snowshoe Trails - All trails open with two layers of moderate crust under yesterdays' light snowfall. Snow depth is about 11" in the
open and 17" in the hardwoods. Hemlock stands likely less. Depending upon tonight's snowfall, I might head out tomorrow before work
otherwise Saturday. Suppose to get above freezing just before Christmas and the following weekend has the possibility of having the NIGHTS
staying above freezing, too. Midwinter thaw already or a new norm for our winters? (Some snow and cool/ thaw and above freezing/ snow and
cool/ thaw and...)(12/19/2024)
● Maasto Hiihto – All trails dragged and tracked except for Mud Lake. 12/18/2024)
● Churning Rapids – Thoroughfare only groomed to spring creek. (12/20/24)
● Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Trails have not been groomed in the last few days, but are still in decent riding shape. We plan to groom Friday
evening to freshen things up for the weekend. (12/20/2024)
● Eagle Harbor – Still low snow totals along the lakeshore. 6-10 inches, packed with snowmobiles, but no tracks yet. (12/16/2024)
● Twin Lakes State Park - 2024/2025 Season TBD
● Copper Harbor Trails Club "End of the Road Trails" – Attempts are made to groom. Unfortunately, conditions are Icey and bare in many spots.
Waiting for Mother Nature to bring more snow (12/19/2024)
● Boundary Road Trails – This morning we got out to drag all trails multiple times in order to smooth things up and make them more durable for
the upcoming warm days. It's not perfect, but they do look much nicer. Next time out we should be able to make tracks. (12/14/2024)
