Snow Country Real Estate

Last Blast of Snow? One more weekend of snowmobiling!

Apr. 1, 2008
Categorized in: Weather/Trails
I thought the snow and trail condition reports from the Western U.P. Convention and Visitors Bureau were done for the year, but it's an APRIL FOOL on all of us here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!
LATEST SNOW AND WEATHER:
Yes! Yes! And Yes! Yes, we got the snow...best guess is anywhere from about a foot to a foot and a half or so across Big Snow Country...maybe more in the higher places. I know I blasted through a four foot bank after the plow came in Bessemer...so let's go with LOTS! Yes, our trails are open and the season has been extended until next Sunday, April 6th. And Yes, groomers will be out. Take a look at the Web Cams to see for yourself-link is on our home page at westernup.info
CURRENT TRAIL CONDITIONS:
ONE MORE TIME, TIME JUST GOT BETTER-WAY BETTER! ONE MORE WEEK OF RIDING COULD BE BEST OF SEASON.
Most trails were solid, flat and in really good shape before this snow, so this is going be riding offering up some big time fun. How often can you ride in a sweatshirt?...with temps in the mid-40's? On lots of snow?
Be aware you may into some icy areas and depending when you come you could run into a few wet places-ride accordingly...and as always slow down on corners. If you do want that ONE MORE TIME...it's now. We recommend you STAY OFF ANY LAKES... Just too iffy at this time of year...besides we have miles of trails in great shape. So don't miss this last chance-come on up-have fun-be safe!
 

Snowmobile Report: "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!"

Mar. 18, 2008
Categorized in: Weather/Trails

 (This report courtesy of the Western U.P. Convention and Visitors Bureau at http://www.westernup.com)

CURRENT SNOW DEPTHS: 18 inches

LATEST SNOW AND WEATHER: In a word...PERFECT! Anywhere from 4" of fresh heavy snow on the ground at Ironwood....7" at Bessemer....the bare cross-streets are covered again...at least for now....Temps for the week are forecasted to be in the mid-30's daytime and teens at night.

If you can get away for a trip - hurry on up....we're getting down to "One More Time, Time."
 
CURRENT TRAIL CONDITIONS: We are being told by riders BIG SNOW COUNTRY TRAILS are the best they've been in years. We're not going to give specific trails this time because I know all the groomers from all the clubs are going to be out with the fresh snow. And I know it's going to make for some great riding...especially this late in the season. Be aware some trails will have icy areas and you may run into a few wet places-ride accordingly...and as always slow down on corners.

Overall, I think you'll be surprised at the condition of our trails. The season ends officially March 31st, so don't pass up this chance to get out and ENJOY!
 
As always, check with your lodging facility on ice depth and conditions before venturing out on any Lake, especially now. Come on up-have fun-be safe!
