Petoskey Area Trail Report – 12/26
PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile Club – 12/26 Given the recent Blizzard and high winds, hearing of lack of grooming going on, I’m making the experienced guess that there is drifting abound and possible debris down and/or trees, hidden obstacles, etc. Ride with care until we get some grooming in or updated status is conveyed to report. <> <> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Clouds increase this evening into tonight as lows fall into the teens and low 20s. Breezy winds ease overnight. Watch for slick spots by morning as any snowmelt refreezes on untreated roads and surfaces. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyClouds increase this evening into tonight as lows fall into the teens and low 20s.

We had groomers out last night on the grade as well as the east side of our trail system. Overall, trails are still in good shape! The grade in front of the airport remains our thinnest section, but there are currently no bare spots. Some wooded areas are beginning to get a bit bumpy due to the lack of fresh snow to help fill things back in.
Our Junior Trail Boss says now’s the time to get out and ride while you can! With temperatures climbing above freezing this week, we’re officially moving into spring riding conditions.
We’ll continue grooming as long as temperatures and snow conditions allow. Ride safe, watch trail conditions, and enjoy the late-season riding! 🌤️❄️ #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos❄️ Trail Update ❄️

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
