HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 03/01
Unfortunately we didn’t get anywhere near the amount of snow they were predicting, we got about 2 1/2” of snow in Harbor Springs followed by rain. There still plenty of snow to ride into Alanson, Pellston & Larks Lake, getting to Carp Lake / Mackinaw is going to be the hardest.
The weather isn’t looking great going forward so get out there while you still can. The trails are rock solid & icy so be careful! Spring like conditions!
With all of that being said at this point we are done grooming until/if we get more snow. With the icy conditions and the curvy hilly trail system we have it’s nearly impossible for our tractors to make it up some of the hills.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> After a mild and occasionally rainy day today, much colder temperatures arrive this evening through Friday. Temperatures are expected to fall a good 10-20 degrees this evening through tonight. leading to a potential flash freeze of wet roads. Renewed snow chances will accompany this colder air with several inches of accumulation, especially in the snow belts of northern lower & eastern upper. In addition, strong winds upwards of 35-45 mph late tonight into Friday will lead to blowing snow. All said, travel will become hazardous later this evening through Friday across much of northern Michigan. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskey... See MoreSee Less

PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Trails groomed tonight by Shane and Joe. If the weather warms above 30 degrees we won't groom until it cools down. The drag can chunk the trail leaving behind large snow balls that freeze and can hurt someone. We will be back out as soon as it gets cold again. #petoskeyTrails groomed tonight by Shane and Joe.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three of our groomers out last night and overall the trails are in good shape. The Alanson trail still has the least amount of snow & we still have some open water holes. Great start to the season! We have some above freezing weather coming in over the next few days with possible rain on Thursday & back to freezing on Friday. We are hoping to get out and groom again Thursday night depending on what the weather does. We will keep everyone updated. #harborsprings#petoskey#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
