Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
March 3, 2026 – 11:11 pm update: – TUESDAY EVENING – The BIG WARM UP has arrived. The forecast for the week ahead is warm temperatures and some rain with highs in the 40s and 50s. Temps dip below 32 degrees for lows the next couple of nights, however there are stretches of time with lows at night above 32 degrees. Grooming is likely to be suspended for a while, especially when temps stay above 32 degrees. Most of the snow belts in the U.P. have very strong bases, so the trails may very well be able to survived the warm up. Cold weather returns next week. Stay tuned.
In Northern Lower Michigan, it’s time to get out asap for what might be your last ride of the season. The warm up is likely to take the trails down to poor to marginal conditions. We’ll need good cold weather and snow next week to get the trails going again.

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Trail Conditions: Poor
Rode in our area Wednesday to check things out. Trails still had a decent base intact, but it was quite icy. All county roads and access roads are dirt/pavement, making it difficult to get to the trails. We don't expect Groomers to go out anymore this season, even if we get a late snow. * Last week I went to a state Groomer Workshop in Sault Ste... #cadillac
