Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
January 30, 2015 - 2:40 pm update – FRIDAY AFTERNOON – Looks like a great weekend of riding in all of the snow belts of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan. Snow this week has built up the base and freshened the trails. Groomers are out. Cold temps and some additional snow during the weekend should help make this one of the best weekends of the winter.
January 29, 2015 - 5:30 pm update – THURSDAY LATE AFTERNOON – The system snow has freshened up many areas in the snow belts of Northern Lower Michigan. Some areas received 2 inches – the snow belt west of Gaylord received between 5 and 6 inches. Groomers are heading out this afternoon and tonight in most of the areas. Cold weather should keep the trails firm through the weekend with highs in the teens and 20s and lows in the single digits. Trails should be in good shape early in the weekend.
Groomers have been out on the U.P. trails during the week and the cold weather and light lake effect snow should help keep the trails in good shape. All in all, it looks like a pretty good weekend for riding in the U.P. and most of Northern Lower Michigan.
January 29, 2015 - 10:15 am update – THURSDAY MORNING – Reports of 2 to 5 inches of snow in Northern Lower Michigan and more snow expected today. That should get a lot of the trails in the snow belts into fair to good condition for the weekend. We’ll have more reports later today…
You can get an idea of the best opportunities to get an early season ride from viewing the Snow Depth Map.
