Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> The snow didn’t disappoint yesterday! We gained back all the snow we lost in the warm up earlier this week plus some!
We had two groomers out last night, the railroad grade (trail 7) was groomed from Van road to Alanson, and all the trails on the East side of the Harbor Barn (717, 71, & 711) were all groomed.
Overall everything is in good shape, the trails were a bit icy yesterday but the added snow should help cover that up. There were a few open water holes behind the Pellston airport last night, temperatures are currently around 19 degrees so hoping those freeze back up quickly.
It’s a great day to get out and ride, stop by one of our sponsors for some lunch or dinner. Beach's Up North Tavern, Clyde's Place, or Moose Jaw Junction. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotosThe snow didn’t disappoint yesterday!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon. Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common. That will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow today, especially in places that are more open and exposed. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon.

Cadillac Area Trail Report – 01/16

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 01/16

New Snow Last 24 hrs: 2-3″

Conditions: Fair – Good

Base: 1-3″

Hello! Cadillac Winter Promotions went out the beginning of this week to smooth out some areas, but will not be grooming regularly until we get a little more base established. Temps and forecast do look favorable for Winter weather! Reports are generally favorable from Coyote north to Thompsonville. I rode to Mesick Tuesday night and conditions were generally good!

We’re glad we’ve got some fresh snow for this upcoming holiday weekend. However, I’m more frustrated about hunters being on the snowmobile trails while grooming, but I understand this is not illegal. This just makes it harder to find volunteer groomers when they get rutted so fast, and it’s a safety hazard for snowmobilers as well. Hoping this will reduce, as regular grooming gets started.

– THINK SNOW & RIDE RIGHT! … Pete
