Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates

Ski conditions in this section are provided by Keweenaw Trails http://keweenawtrails.com/trail-reports/

• Michigan Tech – All Upper and Competition Trails have been groomed and tracked with the Pisten Bully. It is still very thin on Down under so we did not make it to Nara or the Lower trails with the Bully. Lower trails were rolled this morning and the Crew is back out on those trails with leveling drags eliminating the windrows. Tolkien is being tracked as I write this and should be finished by 1:30.(12/12/2024)

• Calumet Lake Winter Trails - Was able to run the pan groomer over Lake Trail and the Forest Loops. Forest Loops might still be a bit soft for fat biking and the numerous low hanging branches wouldn't be very fun anyway. The Park Loop is going to need parallel snowshoe tracks before I can run the roller on it. The plan is to run the "improved" finish groomer over Lake Trail and the Forest Loops in the morning. Then try to snowshoe the Park Loop late afternoon tomorrow.(12/12/2024)

• Swedetown – All trails have been tiller groomed and tracked. MUT loops and Critter Connection have also been rolled and dragged. Conditions are very good and there is more snow in the forecast. Get out and enjoy.  (12/12/2024)

• Swedetown Snow Bike - All loops are open and have been pan dragged. (12/9/2024)

• Chassell Trails - Around 14" new snow since grooming and tracking on Wednesday. Excellent base. (12/12/2024)

• Chassell Snowshoe Trails - All trails are now open excluding the last sub-loop at the top of the Yellow trail. 14F with a breeze and light snowfall.(12/12/2024)

• Maasto Hiihto & Churning Rapids –  All trails rolled. Tomasi, Pine, St. Urho’s, and Quincy tracked. - All trails rolled. (12/12/2024)

• Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Trails were double groomed Thursday night and seem to have firmed up pretty well overnight. Should be rideable Friday and through most of the weekend. Please lower your tire pressure if you are leaving ruts.(12/13/2024)

• Eagle Harbor –  2024/2025 Season TBD

• Twin Lakes State Park  - 2024/2025 Season TBD

• Copper Harbor Trails Club "End of the Road Trails" – The Campground Rd and East Bluff Rd are tracked and groomed, a few thin spots and rocks still but good early season conditions! Mandan Rd and Horseshoe Rd are still seeing some vehicle traffic so are a bit rough yet. (12/6/2024)

• Boundary Road Trails – Might be the best conditions this year and it was gorgeous out there.(12/13/2024)
