Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
November 30, 2021 – 12:40 pm update: – The (official) 2021 – 2022 snowmobile season in Michigan starts tomorrow, December 1, 2021. There has been some accumulating snow in the last week, however, as of today we have not heard of any plans for anyone to start grooming tomorrow. The deepest snow totals so far are around six inches or so in various spots in the Keweenaw Peninsula and the Western U.P and the Eastern U.P. and in some of the Northwestern snow belts in Northern Lower Michigan. During the next week or so, please respect property rights and do not trespass on private land if you do not have permission. Also, do not go around any gates that are closing off public trails. If the gate is down the trail is not open. More snow is expected this week and this weekend, however, no big snow storms are currently in the forecast, so any early season riding will be hit and miss. Keep checking back for updates.

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling -- Some snow on the ground.... high of 44 degrees... #gaylord #grayling
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org - December 1, 2021
25 degrees this morning under a partly cloudy sky. I always like to start my report like this to give you an idea of what the weather is like UP here!
It IS opening day of da sno-mo season!!!!! Problem is not much sno-mo to be had. This is my 21st year of runnin a groomer and doing trail reports and I have yet to see a good first day on December 1st.....that I can remember at least. We do have a solid 6 inches of snow on the ground but the ground really isn`t froze yet and lookin at the weather reports its supposed to warm up into the low 40`s the next couple of days and rain/snow. Next week looks to be better though....if you can believe the weather guessers! Lets hope Ole Man Winter is better to us this year than last, we deserve it, the last couple of winters haven`t been so good, I`m sure you know. I was talkin to da boss last night and he recalled we didn`t have an "official" grooming run with a drag behind us last season until Jan. 16th!!!!!! Lets hope that doesn`t happen again!
Now for some good news. In my last report I said da boss had some good news for us so here it is. WE ARE GETTIN A NEW MACHINE THIS YEAR!!!! YEA!!!! The old Prinoth Trooper which was a 2012 is already gone. The new Prinoth Husky is supposed to be here shortly. It is just like the other 2 we already have and we are EXCITED!!!! That Trooper had a demon in it somewhere and it didn`t like us at all! We are pretty much ready for the season to begin other than a few minor welds to finish up on with the drags and the new machine arriving. Another thing we are doing is painting a drag. It will be a lavender color to show support for all cancers. So if you see it out on the trails give us a thumbs UP!!!!!!
I probably won`t do a trail report everyday yet until there is something important to report but I promise I will keep ya`ll informed....and as always.....totally honest.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
