Harbor Springs Trail Report – 01/24

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 01/24

All of our trails were groomed last night, some of the corners are getting snirty but it’s still decent out there. We could really use some cold weather & more snow. Highs through Saturday are in the mid 30’s & lows right around 31 with a chance of rain, maybe snow on Friday. The weather apps keep changing, but we are keeping our fingers crossed for snow!!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Dangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning. Wind chills in the 20s below zero; some areas could feel as cold as -30F. This will be dangerous, as frostbite can develop in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin. Limit time outdoors and dress in layers. Keep a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded.
Gusty northwest winds plus continued powdery lake effect snow will lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through this afternoon, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, and wind chills well below zero will be even more problematic if you end up stranded on the road. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyDangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Snowmobile Trail Report – Winter Storm Wrap-Up ❄️
What a storm! This latest system absolutely delivered, with measured totals ranging from 14 to 24 inches across the region — all depending on which ZIP code you call home. Either way, this was a game-changer snowfall for the western U.P.
The result? Trails are as good as they’ve been in years.
Deep base, excellent coverage, and that soft, ride-anywhere feel that makes the Porkies and Ontonagon area so special. The fresh snow bonded well, filling in old imperfections and setting us up beautifully for grooming. If cold temps stick around (and they are), we’re in a sweet spot.
Expect:
• Outstanding coverage on main corridors
• Great conditions on secondary trails
• Off-trail areas loaded with snow (use caution and ride smart)
Another clipper is heading our way starting today bringing another foot of snow and brutal cold for the weekend. Stay inside if you can and keep all skin covered.
This is the kind of reset we wait all winter for — and right now, it’s prime time to ride the western U.P.
👉 Thinking about making a trip? Trails run right past Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins — warm rooms, rider-friendly parking, and Lake Superior views when you’re done for the day. Book a stay and make a weekend out of these unreal conditions.
As always: ride right, ride safe, and we’ll see you on the trail. 🛷❄️ #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos
