Harbor Springs Trail Report – 12/05
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 12/05
We haven’t gotten near the snow that they’ve been calling for over the last few days. The snow depths vary across the trails system, we have roughly 10” in Harbor Springs but only about 5” up in Carp Lake. We had high winds over night which will continue throughout today, some areas will be drifted & there’s a possibility for down branches / trees.
All the gates will be opened up by tonight. We will keep everyone updated as to when we can start grooming.
