Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates

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

  • Michigan Tech – Grooming operations have ceased here at your MTU Trails. That being said, there is still some skiing to be found. Expect late season conditions with dirt, ice and standing water on the trails. Use caution and have fun!(3/5/24)

  • Calumet Lake Winter Trails - All trails groomed to knock down the drifts. Should be good  riding  today and tomorrow. Might be the last time I groom this season, depending on if we get more snow and the trails survive the warm onslaught next week. I'll leave the poles in for a week or so and see if winter is going to make a comeback before pulling them for this season. (2/29/24)

  • Swedetown – We are going to open the trails this morning and go to spring grooming mode. Temperatures are going to get below freezing overnight this and we will groom accordingly. (3/5/24)

  • Swedetown Snow Bike - All 5 loops double dragged, get it while you can.(2/17/24)

  • Keweenaw Mountain Lodge – We are out grooming this morning to prepare for Dawg Daze tomorrow (Saturday, March 2nd). We won’t be running Dawg Daze on the Perimeter Trail, as we have it closed. Based upon this morning’s grooming activities, we will decide which of the forest trails we will use (Inner, Outer, and Out There Trails) for Dawg Daze. The temperatures are looking good for grooming this morning (27 degrees this morning). We will see how much of the trail system we are able to groom before it gets too warm today. That will set-up us up nicely for tomorrow’s Dawg Daze. (3/1/24)

  • Chassell Trails -  I walked our trails this morning. 95% are without snow. The forecast is not showing any measurable snow fall in the foreseeable future. We are officially closed for this ski season. Maybe things will be better next fall. Thanks for your patience. Jim (3/3/24)

  • Chassell Snowshoe Trails - Trails are down to a shallow 3-5" base that freezes overnight and then softens by early afternoon. (2/3/24)

  • Maasto Hiihto & Churning Rapids – All trails groomed.Set tracks where possible. (2/29/24) | Rock skis but some trails are nice. (2/29/24)

  • Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Trails were groomed Monday night. Conditions are currently very good, but please be cautious with the warm weather. Ride when the snow is frozen to keep from making ruts.(2/20/24)

  • Eagle Harbor –  Received around 2-3 inches along the lake shore, still not enough to groom. Trails could be snow-covered enough to use, but not groomed. (2/12/24)

  • Twin Lakes State Park  - TBA

  • Copper Harbor – Ran the roller around the trails this morning. It is thin and crusty. There isn't enough snow to set tracks. (2/17/24)

  • Boundary Road Trails – Rolled new snow down and it looked really good. Done by Andrew. (2/29/24)
