Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 03/22
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 03/22 Within the last week we went from it being 65 and barely any snow to temps being in the 20’s and roughly 5-6” of snow on the ground. The snow we got was wet & heavy, there are trees and branches down everywhere. The weather is calling for another 3-6” tomorrow night, but temps during the day will be above freezing the restbof the week. If you want to get in one last ride for the season this would be the would be the time but expect spring time conditions and stick to the trails in the woods. The sides of the roads are dirt / pavement, dirt road crossings are muddy, rocks coming through, water holes, washouts not filled in. Trees & branches down everywhere, it’s physically impossible for us to get everything cleaned up on sleds at this point. We will be closing gates on Monday the 31st. <> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Perhaps a few snow showers today (especially eastern upper), otherwise dry and colder with some peeks of sun. Some snow to contend with in two areas tonight… steadier light snow south of M-72, and some residual lake effect in eastern upper. We then trend cloudy and chilly Sunday before warming to more seasonably cool temperatures to start next week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyPerhaps a few snow showers today (especially eastern upper), otherwise dry and colder with some peeks of sun.

Overall everything is in good shape. There are a few areas were there is not enough snow to fill in the moguls but it’s that time of year. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Dry with some peeks of sun to start today. Another quick-hitter system passes through this afternoon, bringing some snow showers, some of which could be heavy at times. Be prepared for wintry driving conditions later today!

Equipment - We’ve got parts engineered and are on the way for the JD out of Alba. They worked on it today, hopefully next couple days we can get that back on line.
Weather - Don’t look now but the rest of the season doesn’t look good. We’ll adjust grooming for the temperatures and conditions. Mid 40s and 50s don’t make it an easy job
Thanks for sticking with us this year! It’s been a tough year but we’ll get everything fixed up and regroup #jordanvalley #gaylord #petoskey
Temperatures are supposed to be in the 40’s today but dropping back down over the weekend into the low 20’s. Get out and ride while you can because the extended forecast for March is showing daily highs in the 30’s & 40’s... #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
We had a groomer out on the west side last night, the remainder of the trails were groomed Sunday evening. Overall, trails are in great shape — and we have fresh snow on the way! Current forecasts are calling for 4–8” between tonight and tomorrow morning, which should freshen everything up nicely.
We have been asked to share again that the cut thru between Nichols road & Pleasantview road via Foxboro is CLOSED!! This was a local trail/cut thru for many years but the property sold and the landowners do not want snowmobiles on their property. They are placing trail cameras and will proscute for trespassing. If you’re trying to get from the trail in Pellston to Moose Jaw you need to take Nichols road all the way to Van road.
We’ve had an incredible season so far, and we want to take a moment to thank all of our volunteers and groomer operators who work tirelessly to keep our trail system in tip-top shape. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.
A huge thank you as well to Warren Fosmore, Beach's Up North Tavern, Clyde's Place, Moose Jaw Junction, and Northwood Family Restaurant for hosting and organizing such amazing fundraising events for our club. You are true staples of our community, and we simply couldn’t do what we do without your continued support.
With only five weeks left in the season, let’s make the most of every ride. Get out, enjoy the fresh snow, support the businesses that support us, and as always — ride safe! ❄️🏁 #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
