Cross Country Skiing & Fat Tire Trail Updates
● Michigan Tech – It was very icy again this morning. I used the Ginzu to scratch up the skate lanes on the uppers. The four wheeler was having issues pulling the Ginzu up just the little hills, so I didn’t attempt to do competition or the lowers with the bigger hills. The trails I didn’t groom will be very icy. I would recommend staying off them, but enjoy the uppers. If you want to stride you will probably need klister or fish scales. (3/5/2026)
● Swedetown – I had to cut the grooming short late tonight due to the foggy precip and freezing rain coming down. We will be back at it in the morning, but may not be able to get started until a bit later in the morning. Due to this, we will likely not be resetting track tomorrow morning and focusing on preparing the width of the trail for the bear chase. Ski at your own risk, this icy precip will likely make the trail a bit slick. The system will be closed at 8 pm thursday through saturday morning, to allow for us to get out and groom before it starts raining. A side note: Tamarack is now CLOSED up until the race. We blocked off the trail with flagging, please please stay off of that trail. We need to preserve the snow in the stadiums for race day. (3/5/2026)
● Swedetown Snow Bike - Good afternoon! Despite the icy conditions this morning, I was able to get out and drag loops 1-3 and 5 to smooth out yesterday's activities. With the cold weather, it should set up nicely, but hurry before it's buried by the snow! Enjoy the ride.(2/28/2026)
● Chassell Ski Trails - The Chassell Trails will be closed at darkness today until we get past the upcoming rain and until we get new snow for re-grooming. (3/4/2026)
● 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 – Trails have not been groomed. We can't do much with the frozen surface. At best we only get a few hours of skiing out of several hours of work. Waiting on snow. (3/4/2026)
● Churning Rapids Snow Bike - Trails are still in good riding shape. It looks like the temperature will rise above freezing most days this week. Take advantage while the trails are frozen, and try to avoid making ruts if the trails get soft. (3/3/2026)
● Eagle Harbor Ski Trails – Most trails were groomed Friday evening while the snow was soft, before the freeze. There were some ruts and footprints that mostly got smoothed out. Riding should be great Saturday and Sunday. (2/27/2026)
● Copper Harbor Trails Club "End of the Road Trails" – Things are looking better out there. East Bluff Rd is still very soft and has some ruts from the groomer. Mandan Canyon is very uneven and soft. The rest is firm and flat. Enjoy! (3/1/2026)
● Copper Harbor Trails - Great conditions Hard pack and corduroy (2/4/2026)
