Harbor Springs Trail Report – 12/05
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 12/05
We haven’t gotten near the snow that they’ve been calling for over the last few days. The snow depths vary across the trails system, we have roughly 10” in Harbor Springs but only about 5” up in Carp Lake. We had high winds over night which will continue throughout today, some areas will be drifted & there’s a possibility for down branches / trees.
All the gates will be opened up by tonight. We will keep everyone updated as to when we can start grooming.

PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Trails groomed tonight by Shane and Joe. If the weather warms above 30 degrees we won't groom until it cools down. The drag can chunk the trail leaving behind large snow balls that freeze and can hurt someone. We will be back out as soon as it gets cold again. #petoskeyTrails groomed tonight by Shane and Joe.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three of our groomers out last night and overall the trails are in good shape. The Alanson trail still has the least amount of snow & we still have some open water holes. Great start to the season!
We have some above freezing weather coming in over the next few days with possible rain on Thursday & back to freezing on Friday. We are hoping to get out and groom again Thursday night depending on what the weather does. We will keep everyone updated. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
