Harbor Springs Area Trail Report – 03/28

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> 03/28

That’s a wrap on grooming for the 2025–2026 season! ❄

Huge shoutout to our groomer operators—you absolutely killed it this year!

The season officially ends Tuesday night, & we’ll be closing gates on Wednesday. There’s still plenty of snow to get out and ride, and trails are holding flat!

The grade is starting to get thin in spots, and areas along dirt roads are mostly gone—but that’s spring riding. These sections are short and can often be avoided by hopping onto alternate trails.

Get out and enjoy it while it lasts! 🏁

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> ❄️ WHAT A SEASON ❄️
This time last year, we weren’t even sure that we would have a season after the historic ice storm that destroyed much of our trail system.
Fast forward to now… we just wrapped up a RECORD season! For the first time in years, we were able to groom pretty consistently from the very first weekend all the way to the end. What an incredible turnaround.
A HUGE thank you to our Groomer Operators: Bryan, Dale, Chance, Cody, Evan, Jim, Nick, & Thomas — you guys absolutely crushed it this year! 👏
Thank you to our amazing volunteers who keep everything else running: Angie, Dave P, Dave T, Dean, Greta, Justine, Mike, Pat, Rob, & Wayne — we couldn’t do this without you!
Thank you to all of our Business Sponsors: Audie’s Restaurant, Clyde’s Place, Chubbs Marina, Cooks Hardware, County Wide Powersports, Cross Village Mart, Beachs Up North Tavern, Moose Jaw Junction, Northwoods Family Restaurant, & Spankys for your continued support — you are a huge part of what makes this all possible.
And to everyone who rode our trails, came to events, donated, or supported the club in any way — THANK YOU. We truly appreciate every one of you and can only hope next season is just as good as this one was!
There’s still snow to get out and ride on state trails, but all gates on our private property sections are now closed.
📍 Reminder: We have a meeting tomorrow at 7pm at the Harbor Springs Groomer Barn.
We are always looking for more volunteers — if you’re interested in getting involved, we’d love to see some new faces! #harborsprings #petoskey

Sault Ste. Marie Area Trail Report – 03/28

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 03/28

3/28/26

Good evening!!

It was Turbo and Diane’s last run for the season on 889. And they made it a double due to someone thinking they could drive a truck on the trail😔

Here’s what they had to say-

“This morning was a little bittersweet, as it was our last groom of the season on trails 480, 8 and 889. I really appreciate what Groomer Mark left for me this morning. The trails were nice and flat and smooth. They need very little to touch them up. Honestly, I believe these trails today are better than they were mid-season. It’s really a shame that the season ends April 1st. It snowed the whole time. We got about 4″ of new snow. This was our first groom this whole season, where I left a perfect ribbon from start to finish. Not one sled track the whole way.

So about 6pm tonight we were driving down Plantation road because Mrs. Turbo saw an eagles nest along the courtesy trail to Bay Mills this morning, and we saw a rescue vehicle sitting on the road just past the beginning of trail 889. So we stopped and waited for the rubber tracked skid loader pulling out a pick up truck. I asked him what they were doing driving on the trail and he said they were going to the Mission Hill overlook. I asked him how bad he tore up the trail getting stuck, and he said it was pretty bad. He tried to turn around and ended up getting stuck. I believe he could have driven the whole trail and been fine. The trails are so hard packed, we couldn’t hardly see any tire tracks. So Mrs. Turbo and I went home and got our grooming clothes on and went back out to go fix it. Thankfully, it wasn’t as bad as he told us it was. As beautiful as the trails were this morning, we must have had a lot of traffic today, because it was pretty tore up. So, it was actually a good thing we went out. We saw many sleds. All in all, it was a pretty good day. We hope everyone had a great day of riding. Enjoy, these last few days of the season. Remember, ride right, ride safe and ride sober.

Turbo”

Thank you so much for your extra efforts today, and all season!! Beautiful job!!❄️❄️❄️

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/30/26
Hello everyone!
It’s 41 degrees here in the Soo today with warm sunshine. The melt is definitely on.
It’s heard to believe that we were still grooming as of yesterday! What a season!
The Tucker that sits in Kinross was brought back to the Soo barn yesterday, and the Pisten Bully just came in to the Soo barn this morning from Raco.
It’s so bittersweet as we have SO MUCH snow still on the trails, but our operators deserve some well earned rest, and all good things must come to an end.
Tonight, we’re holding our groomer appreciation dinner and I’ll get some pics and maybe some Q & A with some of our operators for you about this season.
Once I have all of the March paperwork completed, I’ll also share some stats from the season.
We’ll be getting gates closed after the 31st, and some are still really buried in snow, so please know where you are riding after 3/31 and stay off of private property. Trails on state and federal lands do not close but will not be groomed. Be safe if you still choose to ride and be alert to rapidly changing conditions such as water holes opening up. It’s going to be one heck of a mud season this year!
As of today, we still have 30” of snow on the ground, with a trail base of over 2’ in many areas🤯
Thank you to all who visited our area, rode our trail system, supported our local businesses, donated to or joined our club, who follow us on Groomer Tracker and here on Facebook, the DNR for finding additional grooming dollars to get us through March, our incredible volunteers and members, and most importantly, the AMAZING landowners who allow us to have the wonderful trail system that we have!
Best season ever!!! ❄️❄️❄️
PS- there’s rumor of a big snowstorm late this week😅😂 #soo #soo0330 #snowphotos
