Baldwin Area Trail Report – 01/26

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club >> 01/26

1/26 Update: Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of grooming updates today. With yesterday’s warm up above freezing, we were unable to groom last night. Today the plan is to evaluate our system and determine if we can get at least some of our groomers rolling again today and tomorrow. Our equipment is ready to roll and our volunteer crew of operators are ready to go. For those out riding today, please share your feedback on conditions with pictures and locations if possible.

As posted last night, our open house was very successful! We appreciate everyone who was able to attend and to those that became members, thank you for contributing to our club. We hope to regularly see new members at our future events and meetings, as we are always looking for new faces and ideas. We especially appreciate all the work by our members and board throughout the day. There are so many dedicated volunteers working behind the scenes that made this event a great success! Also thanks to those who donated or provided food items and door prizes for our event. Paul H Jernberg, Chase Creek Smoke House, Fox Powersports Peacock, Hutson, Inc., Ebels General Store

Attached are some more pictures and videos of our open house event and the afternoon group ride through the north and west sections of our system (Ward Hills area – trails 3 &35 mainly). Thanks to big Al’s sled shed for guiding our group rides yesterday.

Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 01/26

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 01/26

The trails were rode hard yesterday, there was roughly 150 sleds on Beach’s Up North Tavern’s vintage ride and tons of other groups out enjoying the snow.

With that being said the trails really took a beating. We only had one volunteer available to groom so unfortunately the railroad grade from Pellston to Mackinaw & the entire west side of our trail system will be in rough shape today.

Your best spots to be today will be from the Harbor Groomer barn east to Alanson & Pellston. Take a ride to Brutus Camp Deli for breakfast & get 10% off for riding your seld there or swing into Beachs in Pellston or the Jerk-N-Depot in Alanson for some lunch!

Ride safe!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Here is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.

A snow squall. Maybe that’s what we had going on in Wakefield today. It was nuts!
