April 2, 2024 – 2:00 pm update: – TUESDAY AFTERNOON – The official Michigan snowmobile season came to a close on Sunday, March 31, 2024. However, the weather forecast is calling for heavy snow starting Tuesday night into Thursday for the Central and Western parts of the Upper Peninsula. Snow totals may be as much as 2 feet in the high country west of Marquette. You can still ride on public land, however, please make sure you know that any place that you ride is public and open for riding. Do not trespass. Trespassing and riding on trails that are not open causes great harm and sometimes means the closing of trails for good.

SPRING UPDATE via Motor City SledHeads LLC >> Today’s update….still snow in the two pink areas but the blues are gone or about gone. Another sunny day in the UP today and if your already up here you probably we discouraged driving through Marquette but once you started climbing the elevation, your jaw was dropping.
