WE STILL HAVE SNOW. Temperatures have been good and the snow has continued to fall. The added snow is great. The trails from Hancock to Twin Lakes are reported to be in good condition as are the trails from Hancock to Copper Harbor. The groomers are out and about. Make sure you remember they have the right of way. The protective mat on the Portage Lake Lift bridge is ready for use. DO NOT USE THE ICE AS ANOTHER WAY TO CROSS BETWEEN HOUGHTON AND HANCOCK. Send us pictures of your adventure to everts@chartermi.net.(I love putting them on my "Window of Fun") Enjoy the trails and the ride!
