With some sections of the UP receiving over 200 inches of snow, one can see how this is a winter wonderland for skiers, snowshoeing enthusiasts, and snowmobilers. With the milder winters we've been having in the upper midwest, going to Yooperland is your best chance at fun in the snow.

So far the winter of 2012 is one of those lighter snow winters, forcing the cancelation of the legendary John Beargrease Sled Dog race along Minnesota's North Shore. The best conditions are near Grand Marais and further north. We're hoping for more snow around Bayfield, Wisconsin to make sure the Apostle Islands Dog Sled race can be held. They have enough snow now, but another foot would be nice. Ontario, from Thunder Bay to Wawa has decent snow cover and snowmobile and x-c trails are open and in good condition. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula conditions are excellent around Ironwood and good from there through the Keweenaw and over to Marquette. Munising to Grand Marais to Paradise had some good snowfalls in mid-January to put trails in good shape. See our detailed Snow Report for Monday, Jan 23-25, 2012 on our blog for more details.
