HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three groomers out last night & they sure did have their work cut out for them. Unfortunately with the amount of trees down we were unable to get through the entire trail system. It took one opperator four hours to make it only 8 miles. The only areas that didn’t get groomed was Trail 704 Melody Lane & Gregory Road, 71/710 Cross Village Loop, & the 710 Spur from Big Pine to Warwick Road. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow continues tonight through Wednesday with additional accumulations of 4-8" across the snow belts. Locally higher amounts will be possible. Attached is a timing and intensity animation that depicts the heaviest snow this evening into the early overnight, and then again through the day on Wednesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberry PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Tonight's video 12-30-2025... #petoskey #snowphotos <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>

The trails are in good shape & it’s a great day to get out and ride. Please use caution in the non groomed areas as there are likely trees down and big drifts. We are hoping to have someone available tonight to groom the remaning sections.
