02 22, 2006 been snowmobiling four days str8 in the Keweenaw running endless powder. I would say it's the best snow of the season right now. as for the trails the little I touched on them, were in very good condition ( north of calumet). If your staying in Houghton trail 17 and 3 have been plagued by poor grooming this year, it's hit or miss on this loop between houghton ,Calumet,lake linden, and Dollar Bay. alot of people have been trailing to avoid this washboard of a trail. This is a high priority loop as far as local business. something has to be done to maintain this loop better then it has been, as these businesses are loosing $$$. !!!No trail from Chassell to houghton!! if this issue isn't resolved in favor of the railroad grade and snowmobilers, you might be kissing snowmobiling in Michigan goodbye when it comes to abandoned railway beds. all it will take is 1 anti-snowmobiler landowner to say "I dont want the trail going through my property." The majority of trails run on old railroad beds. This IS whats happening with the trail from Chassell to Houghton as we speak. 1 person put up a fence blocking the railroad right of way and now 13 others have followed. if anyone has any pull on this issue they had better start pulling and speaking out as i feel there is more to loose besides the 7 miles of trail! let's look at the big picture here!!!
