Mother Nature really said:
‘You thought it was spring? That’s adorable.’ ❄️😂
35° and giant fluffy snowflakes in May…
Only in the U.P.

Good news? It probably won’t stick around long.
Better news? The waterfalls are loving this. 🌊

Around here, we don’t pack away the hoodies until at least July. 🤷‍♀️

You can expect late riding conditions--slushy during the day and icy at night. Road crossings and parking lots are bare. Many bare spots and puddles on trails. Due to these conditions, we are not grooming our trails anymore this season. Trails will officially close on April 1st. Thank you for riding our trails. When we have all of the miles and hours groomed, I will post the totals!!!

We received over 2 feet of snow since March 13th. The groomers were out on March 17th and 18th clearing blow down trees and snow drifts. They will not be able to groom for the next few days due to warm temperatures. Get out there and ride while it lasts!! Ride right and ride safe!!!

03/13/2026

The snow is wet, heavy and hard to groom. With the forecast up to 2 more feet and very high winds we are accessing the safety and ability to get out. We are currently not out there but will re-access tomorrow and plan to be out by Monday! Be safe out there!

Hope you got out on your sleds this past weekend. We are done grooming for now due to the icy conditions. We will not resume grooming until we get some snow. The icy conditions are hard on the tracks of the groomers like it is hard on the slides on a snowmobile.

Our trails will remain open and rideable--most are still in pretty decent shape. With the warm temps during the day, you can expect slushy conditions. Be careful of bare spots and puddles starting to show up. Most road crossings and parking lots are bare. Then you can expect icy conditions at night as the temps go below freezing. Please slow down and use caution in the icy conditions. I will update if and when we start grooming again.

Ride Right and stay safe out there!!!
