Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 01/14
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 01/14
We are only three days away from the 61st Annual Moose Jaw Safari!! The forecast for Saturday is looking to be in the high 20’s with a chance of snow.
We haven’t had groomers out this week yet as temperatures were too warm Monday night & last night. We have some snow on the way today and will have groomers heading out on Thursday and Friday to get the trails ready.
You can still buy your raffle tickets before the event at Beach’s Up North Tavern & at Clyde’s Place! We will also have them for sale the day of the event.
If you’re bringing your vintage sled, drop a picture in the comments & show it off.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light lake effect snow showers will taper off this morning, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies in place across northern Michigan today with highs in the mid to upper 20s. Upcoming temperatures will tease winter nearing its end with highs expected to reach into the 30s and low 40s heading into next week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLight lake effect snow showers will taper off this morning, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies in place across northern Michigan today with highs in the mid to upper 20s.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> We know you'll pass by this post for snowfall today, but here on February 12th, 2026, it's quite a reflective moment to see just how far we have come this winter. Just a couple weeks ago it was lake effect snow every single day. Today, a light band of 1-3" near Munising is all we will need to write home about. We even tossed in some humor for those not in a designated snowfall zone. A couple slick spots will pop up along M-28 near Munising, and perhaps around Petoskey if a longer lake effect band happens to form, but this is more unlikely than likely.
Enjoy your rather snow-free day here in Michigan in early February. If you've read this far, comment your favorite memory of winter to this point.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three groomers out last night & everything was groomed other than the cross village loop. Overall the trails are in good shape but we really need some fresh snow. Warmer temperatures are on the way for this weekend which will really take a toll on the conditions & the ability to groom. We will keep everyone up to date as it gets closer. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotosWe had all three groomers out last night & everything was groomed other than the cross village loop.
