Thanks to all for another great snowmobile season. Wanted to reach out and let everyone know that the season is officially over Friday night at midnight for Petoskey Snowmobile Club’s grooming and trail maintenance. The grooming extension for the state of MI clubs through the weekend won’t apply due to several private trail segments expiring 3/31/23. There is an organized SxS/ATV ride Saturday and we want to Thank them for reaching out and offering to honor our extension and helping us put this on the radar. If you can attend their ride, or been itching to get out and ride, get out there and do it. Have a great season, be safe, and please always be courteous to our private land holders and people in general. Without them, these sports don’t exist.
See you all soon–it’ll be back before we all know it!

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!
