Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
January 21, 2019 – 4:35 pm update: Finally winter has arrived and it looks like it will stick around a while. Snow and cold weather has kept the base strong in the snow belts of the Upper Peninsula. Snow is expected all week long and that should help the groomers get the trails in the U.P. into great shape this week and into the weekend.
Here’s the Snow Depth Map to give you an idea of the areas with the best snow in the U.P.
There is also good news for Northern Lower Michigan snowmobile trails. Snow is in the forecast all week with moderate accumulations expected in the snow storm arriving Tuesday night. This should get the groomers out on the trails and the trails should start to get into decent shape by the end of the week.
Here is the John Dee Forecast Graphic that shows the prospect for snow this week.

FREDERIC / GAYLORD / GRAYLING AREA UPDATE - Finally it looks like winter is coming at us. Weather forecast for next 7 days shows snow everyday. That’s what we want to see. Some of it is lake effect and some of it is a clipper. Take what we can get. Temps today are a lot warmer with it being 18 degrees right now at 11:30 a.m....
LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming - 1-22-19, we had all groomers out last night and this morning. Here is a video from early this morning on trail 13 south of the Root Cellar. Finally got through the beaver pond to groom. We pulled snow from the outer edges to make a better base for the trail since it’s thin with snow south of Lake Gogebic.... #snowphotos
