Straits Area Trail Report – 01/23

STRAITS AREA UPDATE via Straits Area Snowmobile Club >> 01/23

Thursday January 23
Trail update
We had both groomers running last night and they are back out today. Yesterday’s snowfall ranged from 8-15 inches of powder. Some places even a little more. It will settle down since it’s so fluffy but we are looking good for the weekend. You now can ride out of St Ignace. The first 5 miles will be a little thin and still has frozen truck ruts so please be careful. Otherwise our entire system has enough snow to have an overall good ride.

When conditions change we will update.

Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 01/23

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 01/23

It’s going to be a great weekend to ride, the trails are in good shape! The railroad grade was rolled on Tuesday & will be done again tonight & Friday night. Everything else was done last night except halfway to Pellston, we had to turn around at tower road due to mechanical issues which we will be diagnosing / fixing today. We also skipped the cross village loop, that had little snow prior to this storm so we are letting it settle a few more days before grooming again Friday.

Beach’s Up North Tavern is having their vintage ride this Saturday! If you can’t make the ride come out to see the vintage sleds before the ride takes off at noon!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

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.
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.
⚠️🪵 There is still an active logging operation on Trail 71 from Brutus road to the Alanson Trail intersection.
⚠️🛑 There is an upcoming trail closure: Trail 7 (the railroad grade) will be closed from Trails End Road to Cadillac St in Mackinaw City starting Monday 1/5 for 3-5 days while soil testing is conducted. We will update everyone once that section re-opens. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Mother Nature made a fierce return! Across our area we got dumped on by freezing rain, followed by a rough 8-14” of snow and 40mph wind gusts for almost 24 hours.
We have reports of several trees down on our trail system and some major drifts. We have all three groomers going out tonight to get things cleaned up. Riding today is not advised unless you bring a chainsaw and take your time going over hills and around corners.
There is more snow on its way today & tomorrow! We will have another update for you once the groomers report back. #harborsprings #petoskey
