Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 01/11

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 01/11

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.

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.

Harbor Springs Trail Report – 01/10

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 01/10

We had two groomers head out around 1am when them temps finally got cold enough, they were able to groom the grade (trail 7) from Pellston to Mackinaw, and the west side of our trail system except for the cross village loop.

There are a lot of water holes on the trails due to the rain and warm temps earlier this week but overall the trails held up nicely, the grade in front of the Pellston airport is down to gravel but there’s plenty of snow along the side of the trail in that area.

We have one groomer heading out tonight to do the east side of our trail system, still waiting to hear if we have a second to run the grade.

Ride Right!!

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 01/09

We hit record breaking temperatures this morning with 49 degrees in Pellston. It’s still too warm for grooming but the temps are heading in the right direction. We have an operator heading out around 2am to hit as many trails as he can, and then groomers lined up on the grade & east side of the trail system for tomorrow night.

Trail 7 (railroad grade) is opened back up for the weekend! They will be closing it again on Monday for a short period but after that they will be done.

We do have snow on the way tomorrow & Sunday. Let’s hope we can recoup what we lost.
