Interesting to read all these reports, and maybe I should count my blessings in this realm - I've been out numerous times in the woods the past few weeks, either for work (mostly Dickinson & Menominee Counties) or mountain biking (Tech Trails, SoKe Trails, and Strong Falls Trails) and have yet...

250 miles in the past two days. ~200 miles very good / excellent ~40 miles good (ungroomed drifted areas) ~10 miles fair / poor (road routes) 21 total other snowmobilers seen, mostly at gas stations / restaurants Multiple very happy / welcoming businesses we got to patronize My dad was told by...

Dad's happy he came up to ride this weekend!

For the few people who are considering riding trails this upcoming weekend, can reinforce what Indy said: Gogebic Area Grooming (Bergland), North Country (Ontonagon) and Superior (Greenland) are all leaving their trails open for the weekend. At least Gogebic has stated they'll groom through the...

I've parked on both ends of Cliff Drive numerous times over the years.

I've only been out skiing and snowshoeing the past few days, so take this for what it's worth. Still tons of snow out in the woods, especially high elevation areas away from town. Really haven't lost much in the last two weeks. At this point in the year, the snow setup is nearly always related...

Yeah it would depend on what side of Otter Lake your are on. With trail 15 closed (which is ~4 miles away from Otter Lake), your closest trail access would be trail 3 in Donken. Probably 6-12 miles away via a mixture of plowed and unplowed roads.

Photos added to the original post. I try not to be one to complain, but that was way more work than should be required for getting photos on the Internet in the year 2022...

Just drove past or along numerous trails in Florence County, WI and below is a summation of what things looked like. Only thing not represented is dense conifer areas still looked a little thin. Winter Weather Advisory currently in place for 3-6 inches in the next 24 hours or so. Edit: well, I...

About 5 inches of wet heavy snow in Houghton, MI. Whatever survives the warmup should make for a great base.

With family & friends coming up, ran around yesterday (3/3) afternoon & evening checking trail crossings to make sure worth them bringing snowmobiles. Pic 1: trail 3 going into Portage Lift Bridge from south Pic 2: trail through Calumet Pic 3: trail 3 along canal in Houghton Pic 4: road...

From the Trail 8 power line around Nestoria on 2/4. However, I will say that the pipeline trail was the worst stretch of trail I rode that weekend...

By my guess, the replacement machine has arrived. Feel bad for the North Country club; 3 miles before seeing this we came upon their Pisten Bully caught up and stuck (after getting stuck last week as well)... I don't get to ride much anymore (usually just a weekend or two a season), but for the...

Nothing fancy Thursday night - just a tripod over an open flame with a veggie pack and home grown hamburgers afterwards. However, the location, weather, and company couldn't be beat!

Was about 10-15 miles from the area I think op Mike does a lot of his riding. Considering it's April 23rd and we really haven't had much winter weather since late January it's amazing how the snow pack is holding on.

Trail untouched from driving past it this morning to an hour ago. Definitely hard to drive past a freshly groomed, untouched trail that has been like that all day!

Once you get out of town things drastically improve (below pics as examples). I was between Houghton and Twin Lakes Tuesday and Wednesday (before the fresh snow) and saw numerous trail crossings like these. Things aren't going to be perfect, especially in town. But if you come up you'll have...

Got about 3-4 inches of fresh snow here in Houghton on Thursday night. The pictures below show what is like in town right now, at the places which run out of snow first.

345 miles ridden this weekend with family & friends in the Western U.P., and I would call 300 of those miles very good to mostly excellent. Huge shout-out to clubs putting in the effort to get so many miles groomed overnight when temps cooled down!
