Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
April 2, 2024 – 2:00 pm update: – TUESDAY AFTERNOON – The official Michigan snowmobile season came to a close on Sunday, March 31, 2024. However, the weather forecast is calling for heavy snow starting Tuesday night into Thursday for the Central and Western parts of the Upper Peninsula. Snow totals may be as much as 2 feet in the high country west of Marquette. You can still ride on public land, however, please make sure you know that any place that you ride is public and open for riding. Do not trespass. Trespassing and riding on trails that are not open causes great harm and sometimes means the closing of trails for good.

Nice!!
SPRING UPDATE via Motor City SledHeads LLC >> Today’s update….still snow in the two pink areas but the blues are gone or about gone. Another sunny day in the UP today and if your already up here you probably we discouraged driving through Marquette but once you started climbing the elevation, your jaw was dropping. Best snowfall of this winter and it ROCKED🤘🏻
As a reminder for the snow chasers. If you don’t mind boondocking and can read a map you will have a good time. Don’t expect it to be a family trip, groom trails closed April 1. Respect private property, it’s is clearly marked. It’s going to be sunny and warm but if you are itching for one last ride, grip it and rip it. #miweather #marquetteToday’s update….still snow in the two pink areas but the blues are gone or about gone.

Is that map always available? One thing that was hard to find was this
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Clear skies today allowed us to view snow pack from the recent storm. Its very apparent terrain played a big role in Marquette and Baraga counties. If you look closely, you can see the sharp gradient in snowpack between the highlands, where upwards of 2 feet of snow fell, and the Lake Superior shoreline, which had little to no snow accumulate. #miweather
Nice graphics
SPRING UPDATE via Motor City SledHeads LLC >> Ok…here is a true update for the snow chasers. Pink area it true but it’s wet and heavy. If you don’t mind boondocking and can read a map you will have a good time. Don’t expect it to be a family trip, groom trails closed April 1. Respect private property, it’s is clearly marked. It’s going to be sunny and warm but if you are itching for one last ride, grip it and rip it. #miweatherOk…here is a true update for the snow chasers. Pink area it true but it’s wet and heavy the rest of the colors is questionable, depending on where you’re located or traveling.
