    Florence County, WI - 1/4

    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...

    Smorgasbord at Henry's Inn, Rockland

    Does anyone know if Smorgasbords are happening at Henry's Inn this winter? I know a year or two ago Henry and/or Sally were dealing with some health issues that cause them to cut back; just wondering if Smorgasbords on Friday and Saturday nights have made a reappearance. Thanks!

    Portage Canal Ice, Houghton

    Woke up this morning to an email saying someone on snowmobile went through the ice between Chutes & Ladders and the Ramada last night. This morning looking out my window the portage is nothing but discolored slush surrounding the bridge and towards the Ramada crossing. Given that this area of...

    Southern Keweenaw Update...

    ...Well, more of a shout out / tip-of-the-cap / thanks to the Superior and North Country snowmobile clubs. Today my parents and I rode from Freda to Lake of the Clouds and back and every mile of trail of these two clubs we rode had been freshly groomed last (Thursday) night. Sure, there was a...

    South Range - Greenland ride - 1/27

    Just got back from a 95 mile ride from South Range to Greenland via 13 and then back on 3. There is plenty of snow, however it is all sugar. If wondering whether the Keweenaw Trail Services (poor to fair) or Superior (good to excellent) club's account of trail conditions on MSA is more accurate...

    Forest County, WI Ride - 12/30

    Just got home from a 120 mile ride from Townsend up to north of Hiles and back. Nearly all of the 100 Miler, LMT, and Black Bear Sportsmen club's trails had been groomed in the past two days, making those trails as good as they possibly could be given the low amount of snow. To echo what has...

    HOUGHTON (Keweenaw) UPDATE (WITH PICTURES)

    After seeing a couple of horrible reports, I spent the last hour driving around the Houghton/Hancock area visiting trail crossings to get a better idea of how things are. My thought is always that city conditions should generally be worse than nearly anything away from town. I will let the...

    Algoma (Kewaunee Co.) WI Update

    Just wanted to give an update on how things are shaping up as this area was one of the big winners of last week’s storm. Fortunately, the club (Algoma) I am associated with was able to get out right away last Tuesday night after the storm and begin packing things down. The tractor and drag...

    Western U.P. / Keweenaw: April 5th

    Seems like most of the people I know to go riding with are calling it a season. However, I was hoping to get some riding in on Saturday, especially if John's forecast for Friday holds. If anyone is in the Western U.P./Keweenaw area on Saturday and is looking to do some riding with someone let me...

    Keweenaw Ride - 1/25

    Wasn't sure I was going to be able to ride this Saturday, but as of right now it's looking like I will have the time. If anyone or any group is looking for someone to do some riding (prefer off trail) with in the Keweenaw let me know. Have had thoughts of combination trail/off trail up to Lac la...

    I know it's pushing mid April and most everybody has put the sleds away for the year, but considering how it looks right now and the forecast for the next week I am seriously considering riding next weekend. Anyone interested let me know.

    Keweenaw Ride - 2/16

    Just wondering if anyone was interested in meeting up and doing some riding on Saturday in the Keweenaw Peninsula area. I do mainly off trail riding, but am fine with trail riding if the trails are smooth. Either reply here or send me a PM.

    New Jacket?

    Hey everyone, I have been thinking about upgrading and getting a new jacket for snowmobiling. I do a mix of riding, mostly off trail riding but still some day rides with my family. Even on days when off trail riding, I often still ride a fair amount of trails to get to spots. I have found that...
