Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates
● Michigan Tech – We are having issues with our groomers. Please bear with us while we track down these issues. (2/19/2026)
● Swedetown – Hello all! I had to call it early on grooming today, as the snow was rapidly becoming too wet and sticky for good grooming with the warming temps. Just pretend that lump on Greenstone isn't there 😉 So; Powderhouse, Cedar, Birch, and Tamarack unfortunately did not get groomed today. All other trails have been groomed and tracked with the Husky! The skate deck will still be soft due to the oodles of snow, but I was able to get some good pressure on the tracksetter for most trails (barring Valley and Greenstone) so the classic skiing should be pretty good. Enjoy your ski everyone! (2/19/2026)
● Swedetown Snow Bike - Hello sunshine and clear blur skies! Loops 1-5 got a thorough drag this morning to flatten everything out. Stick and snow bombs are still an issue so watch out still. Also, if you are leaving ruts or divots in the trail, it is too soft and needs to harden. Other than that, enjoy the warm weather!! (2/14/2026)
● Chassell Ski Trails - About 10" of new snow dragged twice and then tracked. (2/19/2026)
● Chassell Snowshoe Trails - All 3 loops and the Green Trail have been walked over once with my Iverson's Michigan-style 'woodies' yesterday and today. People have asked me which snowshoe type, the wooden or aluminum, is best. While I will always prefer my quiet woodies that I have used for over 40 years as a forester, the aluminum/traction snowshoes would be the better all-around choice. I consider my 13" x 46" Michigan's as my "floaters" that can carry me into the woods on deep fresh snow easier than the aluminums. As a now retired forester marking trees and running boundary line's, I was always breaking snow the entire day. The Michigan's have about 440 sq. in. footprint. The average aluminum is in the 270-320 sq. in. footprint range. I do have a pair of 28"aluminum's that I would use on crusty snowfields. (2/1/2026)
● Churning Rapids & Maasto – Trails rolled. Dragging tomorrow (2/19/2026)
● Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Wow, what a storm! We were able to make an initial pass with just a snowmobile on Wednesday evening to start re-establishing the trail. With more snow on the way Friday, and all three of our main groomers out of town this weekend, the snow bike trails will not be rideable until sometime next week. (2/19/2026)
● Eagle Harbor Ski Trails – Everything is packed and tracked and in great shape. Enjoy the day! (2/4/2026)
● Copper Harbor Trails Club "End of the Road Trails" – Scratched up the skate lanes this morning. Tracks are still in great shape from yesterday. Get out there with someone you love!! (2/14/2026)
● Copper Harbor Trails - Great conditions Hard pack and corduroy (2/4/2026)
