Petoskey Area Trail Report – 12/06
PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> 12/06 So this is our reroute on trail 763. When headed toward Walloon and you turn onto Fiel E. and come into the big field you are redirected diagonally across the field to a trail in the opposite corner and it is a nice trail that connects to Holmes road high on the ridge. This keeps snowmobiles safely off of Springbrook road alleviating the 90° sharp corner and the blind hill at Springbrook and Holmes intersection. Our groomer machines labored very hard and we had to watch our engine temperatures when ascending Holmes road. It took awhile to make this change but it should improve safety for sledders and vehicles on Springbrook. Thanks Kyle for helping change the route signs! <> <> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Dangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning. Wind chills in the 20s below zero; some areas could feel as cold as -30F. This will be dangerous, as frostbite can develop in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin. Limit time outdoors and dress in layers. Keep a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded. PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Trail video January 22 2026 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Gusty winds combined with powdery lake effect snow will continue to lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through Friday, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected with wind chills well below zero... making matters more problematic if you end up stranded on the road. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyGusty winds combined with powdery lake effect snow will continue to lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through Friday, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around.

Gusty northwest winds plus continued powdery lake effect snow will lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through this afternoon, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, and wind chills well below zero will be even more problematic if you end up stranded on the road. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyDangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning.
