Jordan Valley Trail Report – 01/26

Quick mid week update:

It’s a balmy 3* out today, recently we’ve received 5ish inches of fluffy snow ⛄️, not a lot but we’ll take what we can get.
VP Tracey was out last night in the valley and it was dreamy and fluffy just as it should be. ⚠️ One note of caution, near Big Marsh Rd on the north end there is occasional flowing water across the trail⚠️

Paul is filling in on the south trails today, every snow helps a little more. Rough dirt makes rough snow but the guys are making ground on getting them flatter for the weekend!
Still be cautious out there of occasional hazards as we still are really low on snow. The guys are working hard to make the most of it.

On tap this weekend our clubs have your breakfast covered, visit the Antrim County Snowmobile Club Saturday for their pancake breakfast 8-10 and their clubhouse will be open until 4pm. Then Sunday stop up and see the East Jordan Sno-Mobilers and get their world famous “cakes and eggs” with the fix’ins 7-12

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Lake effect snow continues today, stops, then resumes in intensity overnight into Tuesday, January 26th and 27th, 2026.
Discussion
Our west winds kick up to the 30-40 mph range later tonight. Prior to that happening, a northwest wind will batter some lake effect areas with an additional 1-3" this afternoon, with pockets of 4"+ possible. As we move into Tuesday, a widespread blanket of 2-5", with pockets of 4-8" will overtake the Lake Michigan shoreline, eastern UP, and Keweenaw Peninsula. Temperature difference between water and air, plus adequate lift will fuel lake effect all the way through Wednesday morning. Additionally, we have a clipper moving through on Tuesday that will bring isolated pockets of 1-3" to the east side. Most locations should still be beneath an inch, however, too many variables are in play to not mention it.
Travel will be impacted along and west of US-131, with minor travel impacts all the way over to the US-127 corridor (I-75 north of Grayling). The clipper will be swinging through with the initial push of gusty winds after midnight tonight through 10 am Tuesday morning. Again, this will be for totals starting at noon today, and lasting through 8 am EST Wednesday, with most of the snow falling throughout the entire day Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect snow continues today, stops, then resumes in intensity overnight into Tuesday, January 26th and 27th, 2026.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 1/26/26 - The song remains the same this week, as winter will leave us this pattern to lead us into more snow, thanks to the clipper parade. A few inches of snow or so are possible with each round, starting with a burst of snow tonight that will transition to NW to WNW flow lake effect. Highs in the teens will carry on, with cold signals holding on into early February. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey1/26/26 - The song remains the same this week, as winter will leave us this pattern to lead us into more snow, thanks to the clipper parade.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Jan 25 2026...Most areas stay quiet across the Northwoods for the first couple days of the week, with the exception of the shorelines, which have a better shot at seeing some lake effect snow showers at times. The next best chance of snow comes later Monday into Monday night with the next clipper system swinging in. Light northerly winds today become light and variable tonight…then west to southwest and increasing a bit for Monday and Monday night with that clipper. Temperatures will start to warm a smidgen…highs look to reach into the teens above zero. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyJan 25 2026...Most areas stay quiet across the Northwoods for the first couple days of the week, with the exception of the shorelines, which have a better shot at seeing some lake effect snow showers at times.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Another quickly-moving Clipper will bring a round of widespread, light snow beginning this evening, followed by lingering lake effect snow across the NW wind snow belts for Tuesday. Totals of an inch or less are expected for most of the UP, but where lake effect snow occurs, up to 2-5in of snow is possible tonight through Tuesday evening. As winds pick up early Tuesday, patchy blowing snow may contribute to reduced visibility in the NW wind snow belts.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The Trailside Lodge >> Last night on the trails ❄️
Cold, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. There’s something special about stopping in the middle of the woods at night, just the snow covered trees and the stillness of winter all around you. If you know, you know...
The trails have been amazing and freshly groomed, making for some incredible riding. It’s just a bit chilly out there, so dress warm, ride smart, and be safe! #keweenaw #snowphotos
