Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/09

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/09

2 feet in 2 days, that’s about how much snow we have lost. Trails are a mud bog this morning. Its incredible how great things were and now how bad they are. So the roller coaster of weather begins. There were a few sleds out and about on sunday and there was a father son team that rode in from Mancelona. Pics below are the trail crossings just north of the high school and of a truck from Tennessee with a good license plate on it. So the wait is on for rideable snow now. Weather forecast for the week doesnt seem to promising. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Harbor Springs Trail Report – 12/09

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 12/08

Unfortunately the temperatures rose into the mid 40’s yesterday afternoon and it still has yet to drop below freezing. We lost quite a bit of snow so all planning / rolling will be on hold until we receive more snow.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three groomers out last night & they sure did have their work cut out for them. Unfortunately with the amount of trees down we were unable to get through the entire trail system. It took one opperator four hours to make it only 8 miles. The only areas that didn’t get groomed was Trail 704 Melody Lane & Gregory Road, 71/710 Cross Village Loop, & the 710 Spur from Big Pine to Warwick Road.
The trails are in good shape & it’s a great day to get out and ride. Please use caution in the non groomed areas as there are likely trees down and big drifts. We are hoping to have someone available tonight to groom the remaning sections.
⚠️🪵 There is still an active logging operation on Trail 71 from Brutus road to the Alanson Trail intersection.
⚠️🛑 There is an upcoming trail closure: Trail 7 (the railroad grade) will be closed from Trails End Road to Cadillac St in Mackinaw City starting Monday 1/5 for 3-5 days while soil testing is conducted. We will update everyone once that section re-opens. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
