HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Our junior trail boss approves of the conditions! Overall the trails are in great shape, the west side was last groomed on Monday night & we had two groomers out last night on the grade & east side of our trail system.
Please slow down on trail 71/Chadderdon road in the section where they are logging. They are hoping to be out of there in about two weeks.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Feb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions. Colder Saturday, with a few flurries around again, and then, you guessed it, more snow chances going into early next week…though signals point toward a warming trend during this period as well. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyFeb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Happy February! ☃️
Overall, our trails are in great shape! The only rough section is where they are logging on 71/Chadderdon Rd. We had a groomer out on the grade last night from Pellston to Alanson & two out tonight, one on the grade from Pellston to Mackinaw & the other on the west side of our trail system. We plan to have at least one groomer out every day this week & through the weekend.
🪵 Logging Operation – Trail 71 🪵
There is still an active logging operation on Trail 71 at Chadderdon Road. Although numerous signs are posted, we are still seeing riders not slowing down.
Please use extreme caution in this area:
- Skidders and log trucks are entering and traveling on the trail
- SLOW DOWN
- If you encounter logging equipment coming toward you, get off the trail or turn around until you can safely move aside
- Do not try to go around them — they are much larger than you, cannot stop quickly, and have the right of way
Your safety (and theirs) depends on it.
❄️ Upcoming Events ❄️
📅 February 8
🏈 Super Bowl Sunday
🍽️ 10% of all sales at Northwood Family Restaurant will be donated to our club — thank you for the support!

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Porcupine Mountains / Ontonagon Snow Report ❄️
Winter is absolutely delivering right now. We’re over 160” for the season total so far.
We’ve measured 24 inches of fresh snow in just the last week and a half right on our deck, and conditions across the Porcupine Mountains and Ontonagon area are shaping up to be the best snowmobiling and skiing we’ve seen in many years.
Snowmobile trails are well-covered with a solid base, riding smooth and fast thanks to consistent cold temps. Off-trail snow is deep, fluffy, and exactly what you hope for up here. For skiers — both downhill and Nordic — coverage is excellent, with beautiful natural snow and classic Lake Superior powder conditions.
📸 This photo shows exactly what’s fallen recently — and there’s even more in the woods.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to make the trip north, this is it.
And if you’re looking for a warm, comfortable place to stay after a full day on the trails or slopes, Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins is right here in Ontonagon — rider- and skier-friendly, close to the trails, and the perfect home base for conditions like this.
These are the kind of winters people remember. Don’t miss it. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Porcupine Mountains / Ontonagon Snow Report ❄️
