Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
January 16, 2020 – 4:20 pm update: After a slight warm-up, cold temps and snow are in the forecast for the rest of the week and the weekend. Trails in the Upper Peninsula are in very good shape and conditions should improve going into the weekend. More snow is expected so conditions should hold up throughout the long holiday weekend. Conditions are good to excellent in the Western U.P. and the Keweenaw Peninsula and the snow belts of the Eastern U.P.
Here’s the Snow Depth Map to help you find regions with the most snow.
Northern Lower Michigan also received light to moderate snow this week and moderate snow is expected this weekend. Groomers have been out in the snow belts of Northern Lower Michigan – Grayling, Gaylord and areas to the north. Base is thin right now, but the base should improve with the additional snow. Get out early as there will likely be a lot of traffic on the trails during the holiday weekend.

Gaylord Area Trail Report – 01/18
Most trails are in fair to good condition at this point, but watch for water in places. Grooming is being done! We received around 2 – 3 inches of new snow last night. There is a section on the south loop of the Johannesburg trail just south of Old State Road that washed out and is currently taped off. A culvert will be going into this section to eliminate future water issues. Please use caution riding past this area, but it should be fixed quickly. We are under a “WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY” – Sat morning through Sun at 1 pm.... www.trailreport.net/blog/?p=7682
