Tech Trails Closed Saturday; Partially Closed Sunday
Michigan Tech will host the Central Collegiate Ski Association championships this weekend, Feb. 11-12, meaning the main Tech Trails will be closed on those days (Saturday and Sunday).
The softball field trailhead, along with Isle Royale and Superior loops, will remain open throughout the weekend. The Tolkien trails, accessed from Pilgrim Road, will also remain open.
Saturday’s races will use both the competition trails and the Nara trails. All trails will be closed except: the 1 km Nara Loop (from the Nara trailhead), Isle Royale and Superior, and the Tolkien trails.
On Sunday, the Nara trails will be open, along with Isle Royale, Superior, and the Tolkien trails. All other trails (e.g. those accessed from the main trailhead and Core Loop) will be closed until 2 p.m.
Groomers have started preparing for the races and will set “best line” tracks on Friday in preparation for the Saturday classic races. This means that the classic tracks will be in the middle of trails. Skaters are asked to respect the tracks on Friday.
Thanks to all Keweenaw skiers for their cooperation. Remember that grooming continues at Swedetown, Chassell, and Maasto Hiihto/Churning Rapids, so you have these other skiing opportunities while the Tech trails are closed.
