Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
March 26, 2025 – 10:20 pm update: – THURSDAY EVENING – Reports of very good trail conditions in the Keweenaw Peninsula and the Eastern U.P. have been coming in all week long. A slight warm up with highs in the 40s may hurt the trails on Thursday. Riding should be good early with snow getting soft in the afternoon on Thursday. A storm arrives this weekend with a rain/snow mix. If the mix is mostly snow the trails should be in good shape through the weekend and all the way to the end of the grooming season on March 31, 2025. Get out for some great spring riding.
