Some tree riding in Area 51 Gwinn today. Still good snow. Everyone took turns getting stuck. Hope it lasts a while longer.

Dude if you guys took a weed wacker into your riding areas during the summer you would have some nice boondocking terrain.....with all that snow.

Hope I didn't sound like a douche.. I get in areas like that all the time.. Just trying to say not all areas need weed whacked. Hope it was good today! Sun was shining so I can't imagine it was bad. How long you guys in town?

Awesome riding today. We were never more than 1/2 mile from the road all day. We ripped up hills all day never seeing another sled. Still lots of good snow out there, but getting warm.

Its going but still plenty of rideable snow is south range/twin lakes areas

I was up in Eagle River Mi Fri & Sat at Gitche Gumee camp. They are on the northwest of the Keweenaw peninsula. They lost allot of snow. Driving through Houghton on Saturday night I was surprised that people were still sledding under the bridge. It must be dry under there now. Still snow in Sands plains today, but sketchy trails to get there. I live in Gwinn, were down to two feet or less and snow is starting to rot. :brokenheart:

Stack · Apr 10, 2013

A good 3 ft + on the ground throughout the Keweenaw. Areas next to the lake, as usual, will have significantly less snow. Expecting more snow Thursday night into Friday.

Plenty still out there!

We got 7" of wet heavy snow over night in Gwinn. Forecast says more on the way tonight and tomorrow. Trails are still good from Gwinn to Marquette. Watch for stumps off trail, we did lose snow over the last couple weeks.

Thanks,

Two weekends ago we had a 5-6' base, I know they lost about a foot or so on the ground but the snow they got on monday 6-7" seemed to stick around and then it looks like more than a foot will be recordered for today
