HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 02/06 All of our trails were groomed last night and are in good shape, with the snow we got we were able to fill in 90% of the washouts. Today’s a great day to get out and ride, don’t forget to stop by our local restaurants along the way to warm up and get some great food!! Ride Safe! <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A rain/snow mix will depart later this morning, potentially opening the door for some clearing clouds later this afternoon with highs ranging from the upper 30s across the eastern U.P. to the upper 40s/low 50s for those south of M-72. Another round of rain/snow mix is expected later Saturday into Sunday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA rain/snow mix will depart later this morning, potentially opening the door for some clearing clouds later this afternoon with highs ranging from the upper 30s across the eastern U.P. to the upper 40s/low 50s for those south of M-72.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Last night we groomed the railroad grade from Alanson to Mackinaw along with the trail behind the airport. The run started off with it snowing & then it turned into freezing rain & then into a down pour as he got north of Carp Lake. We were able to cut a lot of the bumps out but with the rain & warm temps it won’t take long for them to appear again. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A quick-moving clipper system crosses northern MI tonight. Primarily rain is expected across much of northern lower, with mainly snow through the Straits and eastern U.P. Snow will likely end as a period of freezing drizzle early Friday morning with a coating of ice possible, mainly in eastern upper. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryA quick-moving clipper system crosses northern MI tonight.

Between Tuesday night & Last night everything has been groomed with the exception of the railroad grade from Pellston to Mackinaw, Trail 705 (Moose Jaw Road), Trail 710 (Spur from Big Pine to Warick Rd), Trail 710 (Spur from the Cross Village Loop to Vorse Rd), & Trail 711 (Chadderdon Road from the Alanson trail turn to Hathaway Road).
We are working on a plan to get the rest of the grade groomed and I can say that we likely will not groom the rest of the sections mentioned remainder of the season. There is only 12 days left so get out & enjoy it!! #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
Groomer Tom reported it was the 13th when it was the 17th into the 18th. It's winding down, so get out and ride while you have a chance. Kyle... #petoskey #snowphotos
