As of Wednesday morning, the Keweenaw Peninsula has officially recorded 302.75 inches of snowfall for the 2025–2026 winter season, surpassing the 300-inch mark and already outpacing last year’s total of 267.75 inches at the same point in the season.
More snow is predicted through the weekend, with up to another foot on its way!
With winter typically continuing well into April in the Keweenaw, there is still plenty of snow season left for visitors and residents alike.
“Crossing the 300-inch mark is always a special moment for the Keweenaw,” Brad Barnett, Executive Director of Visit Keweenaw. “This winter has delivered incredible conditions for skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and all the outdoor experiences that make this region the snowiest and most exciting winter destination in the Midwest.”
Heavy lake-effect snow from Lake Superior fuels the Keweenaw’s legendary winters, often producing snowfall totals that rival some mountain regions in the western United States. Those conditions have helped power another strong season for winter recreation across the peninsula, from groomed snowmobile trails and Nordic ski systems to downhill skiing and backcountry exploration.
With weeks of winter still ahead, visitors can continue to enjoy deep snow conditions across the region’s trail networks, ski hills and scenic landscapes.
