Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates
● Michigan Tech – Good morning! Upper and Lower trails were groomed and tracked with the PB. The River trail was groomed and tracked. Tolkien and Competition were groomed yesterday. The Sunshine and warm temperatures cut today’s grooming short. Conditions are excellent, the sun is shining, and you need to get to your trails! (3/30/2026)
● Swedetown –Good evening skiers! We just finished dragging the skate deck on all main ski trails, so that the corduroy base sets up overnight. Hopefully you can all enjoy it tomorrow morning before the snow comes! We are expecting some fresh snow throughout the day. A request from the groomers; Skate skiers, please pay special attention to making sure you are not running over the classic tracks. Especially in these spring conditions when the snow is soft during the day and then sets up hard overnight, slicing into the tracks with your ski tips can cause some significant damage that really impacts the experience of the Classic skiers. With less snow falling this time of year, we are also re-setting the tracks less often, so any damage you cause will be there for at least a few days. I have noticed an increase in this lately, so please just exercise caution. Enjoy your ski! (3/30/2026)
● Swedetown Snow Bike - Good morning bikers! I was able to brave the icy conditions and get loops 1-3 back in shape. Loop 5 has not been groomed recently but is still rideable. With the cold, the trails are setting up nicely! Be careful of the ice and enjoy the ride (3/28/2026)
● Chassell Ski Trails - The trails are rolled and tracked again as of 3:15 this afternoon. We had to run with tracks down the whole way, but tried our best to keep them on the sides of the hills. (3/17/2026)
● Chassell Snowshoe Trails - Should stay off the trails until colder weather with hopefully some snow to mitigate some of the damage caused by a user being on parts of the trails when it was too soft. (3/4/2026)
● Churning Rapids & Maasto –Hey skiers! I went out this Am to drag and it didn’t seem to make a difference. The trails are pretty beat up from foot traffic and soft.I’d say keep dancing the Heikki Lunta, but I’m ready for spring! Use caution on the trails! (3/30/2026)
● Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Snowbike trails are in great shape. No post holes. Some slippery spots. Studs would increase confidence but are not necessary. Riding should remain excellent through the weekend. (3/26/2026)
● Eagle Harbor Ski Trails – Everything in good shape with lots of snow coverage. Speaking of which, if you travel with hand clippers, don't be afraid to trim some of the small saplings that are encroaching on the trail! Get out there! (3/19/2026)
● Copper Harbor Trails Club "End of the Road Trails" – Pre-race grooming continues. The entire East Bluff Meltdown course is now groomed and tracked sections set. Conditions are fantastic. We’ll continue with some final touch ups tomorrow before the race and Wander on Saturday. Get out there and enjoy! (3/20/2026)
● Copper Harbor Trails - Great conditions Hard pack and corduroy (2/4/2026) Visitkeweenaw.com
