Harbor Springs Trail Report – 12/22
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 12/22
Our first groomer hit the trails on the railroad grade to do some panning yesterday. There is very little snow up towards Mackinaw but as you go south it’s much better (about 8” south of Pellston).
⚠️ We have two groomers headed out this afternoon to pan on the East & West sides from our Harbor Groomer barn. This is the only time we ever groom during the day – so please watch out if you are out riding!! ⚠️
The storm that’s headed our way is expected to dump 1-2 feet of snow but with that they are calling for 50mph winds. That is going to leave us a major mess, so be patient with us as it is also the Holidays. We will update you after the storm.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had a groomer out on the grade last night that ran north from Pellston to Mackinaw. Overall the trails are in great shape.
Please be aware there is still logging on Chadderdon road (Trail 71) & log trucks have the right of way. Please get off the trail or turn around if you encounter one, DO NOT try to go around them. They have about two more weeks of logging in that area. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotosWe had a groomer out on the grade last night that ran north from Pellston to Mackinaw.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Northern Michigan will see a quiet weekend, with temperatures gradually recovering out of the recent deep freeze. Our next good chance for snow arrives Sunday night into Monday; this may impact the forecast you get from your local groundhog. Quiet but somewhat cooler weather returns for Tuesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyNorthern Michigan will see a quiet weekend, with temperatures gradually recovering out of the recent deep freeze.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three groomers out last night and the trails are in great shape! Everything was groomed other than the cross village loop. It’s going to be a great weekend to get out and ride, tomorrow is going to feel like a heat waive with a high of 27!
Please remember to ride right, ride at a safe speed & ride sober! #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
