Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates

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

• Michigan Tech – Your MTU trail system is 100% tilled and groomed with a new track set. Trails have set up well and conditions are marvelous! Tolkien and the River Trail are being addressed presently.  (1/15/2025)

• Calumet Lake Winter Trails - Okay, to say the trails are groomed is a misnomer. I did indeed run the groomer over them, but with the wind and the lack of time to do a much needed 2nd pass, they are merely marked. Snowshoers should be able to see the trail between the humps. I hope to get it done tomorrow and Friday in hopes to have them ready for a frosty weekend.  (1/15/2025)

• Swedetown – Yet another Husky Grooming day! Everyone say thank you Mama Nature for the snow! The tracks and skate deck are both grooming out very nicely. With the warmer temperatures it won't set up as hard as yesterday, but should hopefully cool off a bit before the afternoon. Running a little slow this morning with the Husky, the trails marked below are as of 9am. Just starting the bear loops now. We plan to get Relentless groomed with the Husky today! Enjoy your ski! (1/16/2025)

• Swedetown Snow Bike - Good news everyone! Our main snowbike grooming machine is still down, but I tried using one of the other snowmobiles today on loops 1-3 and it worked pretty well! So we should be able to keep at least loops 1-3 open until the more nimble machine is fixed. Just snowmobile packed today, but should be dragged tomorrow.  (1/15/2025)

• Chassell Trails - Lots of new snow! We rolled, groomed, and tracked. The trail and the surrounding woods look beautiful! (1/14/2025)

• 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 rolled. Some trails tracked. (1/14/2025)

• Churning Rapids – All trails tracked. (1/11/2025)

• Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Trails mostly groomed early Thursday morning after 2 or 3 inches of snow overnight (everything except Jimmy Dean loop and Aunt Flo). Trail surface may still be soft so low tire pressure may be necessary. (1/16/2025)

• 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" –  Rolled Mandan Rd., Campground Loop and Horseshoe Harbor Rd. We will be back out tomorrow to continue packing in the new snow! (1/12/2025)

• Boundary Road Trails –Trails dragged today. Will re-drag and set tracks tomorrow. (1/15/2024)
