Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 01/21

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 01/21

It’s been a snowy, windy, & cold start to the week but it’s just what we needed! Groomer Dale is out rolling the grade tonight (Trail 7) & overall conditions are good. The snow gets thinner north of Carp Lake and is drifting in the open areas but that’s to be expected. We have two groomers headed out tomorrow night to hit the rest of our trails.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Mother Nature made a fierce return! Across our area we got dumped on by freezing rain, followed by a rough 8-14” of snow and 40mph wind gusts for almost 24 hours.
We have reports of several trees down on our trail system and some major drifts. We have all three groomers going out tonight to get things cleaned up. Riding today is not advised unless you bring a chainsaw and take your time going over hills and around corners.
There is more snow on its way today & tomorrow! We will have another update for you once the groomers report back. #harborsprings #petoskey

Munising Area Trail Report – 01/21

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> 01/21

Trail Report Posted
https://www.algersorva.com/trailreport/1-21-2025/

Sorry for the lack of reports. PC died after a windows update over the weekend.

We groomed non stop all weekend. I assure you.

Last night (Monday Night)we did not send the groomers out due to the Extreme Cold. This morning 5 am we tried to send them out. Our fuel is gelled up.

We are currently working to get them back on the trail.
Yes we know the trails are trashed right now.

Posting a bunch of pics from over the weekend.

We had several issues and worked through them in nascar pitstop fashion.

Cutting mogs North of Shingleton we broke the drag. Wing was stuck down and could not cross the bridge. This set us back 4 hours but was able to rig and groom the rest finishing Sunday morning 8am. The bison has a frozen solid air filter. The fine dust snow was not only bad for visibility. Tractor air filters suffer as well.

Doing all we can. Sorry the trails are hammered right now.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Groomer operators were checking traffic levels and we had feedback from some drift busters and we will be looking into conditions tomorrow before we pull the trigger on grooming. Conditions are getting more favorable, but the snow isn’t settling fast enough with sleds avoiding the drifts and knocking the air out of them. At 16 thousand pounds, the groomer doesn’t float enough in soft deep snow and we dont have a second machine to self rescue. So bear with us as we constantly monitor and discuss amongst our operators on the earliest optimum time to safely hit the trail. Guaranteed, as soon as we all agree on a green light, you will have a smooth trail! #munising #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> We are all cleaning out after all of this snow. Sounds like great snow coverage from end to end. That’s the good part! The bad part is we have so many wind prone areas with heavy drifting, that we need to let it settle for a day and get some sleds over it before we send out the groomer. It is the downfall of being a one groomer club. We don’t have the availability of running tandem to quickly recover from a storm like this. But…. This is the perfect time for all of the “adventurous” riders to break trail in GREAT SNOW!!! Just beware of fallen trees. Carry a saw and report back to us if there are any big ones down that need serious attention. We will report back as soon as we get back out! Be safe out there! #munising #snowphotosWe are all cleaning out after all of this snow. Sounds like great snow coverage from end to end. That’s the good part!
