Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
March 27, 2026 – 11:45 am update: – FRIDAY MORNING – The best Michigan snowmobile season in many, many years continues for one more BIG WEEKEND and a couple of more days into the week. The base is still good in most of the Keweenaw Peninsula and groomers are grooming. The base is also very strong in the snow belt of the Eastern U.P. around Newberry and Munising. Today (Friday)and Saturday should be good days for riding in any of these areas with highs in the low 30s and lows in the teens.
We are getting reports that the base is still good in the Harbor Springs area in Northern Lower Michigan and the groomers are out grooming. Saturdy should be a good day for riding in that area.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> That’s a wrap on grooming for the 2025–2026 season! ❄️
Huge shoutout to our groomer operators—you absolutely killed it this year!
The season officially ends Tuesday night, & we’ll be closing gates on Wednesday. There’s still plenty of snow to get out and ride, and trails are holding flat!
The grade is starting to get thin in spots, and areas along dirt roads are mostly gone—but that’s spring riding. These sections are short and can often be avoided by hopping onto alternate trails.
Get out and enjoy it while it lasts! 🏁 #harborsprings #harborsprings0328 #petoskey #snowphotos

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 3/28/26

WEATHER UPDATE via UpNorthLive >> UPDATED snow totals for our main climate locations across Northern Michigan. No surprise, everyone is running above normal with Sault Ste. Marie almost 70" above average! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyUPDATED snow totals for our main climate locations across Northern Michigan. No surprise, everyone is running above normal with Sault Ste. Marie almost 70" above average!
How do these totals compare to last 10-15 years? Seems like snowiest since 2014?
BIG BAY AREA UPDATE via Big Bay 550 Snowmobile Club >> Big Bay to Andersons corner is groomed and in fair to good condition
Big Bay to moose country trails is groomed and in fair to good condition
Big Bay to Marquette is groomed and in fair to good condition
Plowed areas got a dusting of snow but its very thin. Use caution...
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Short run today to make sure our east end is smooth and conditions couldn’t be better. Possibly making one more full run before the end of season to make sure we are right on track to finish the season out. Reports have been coming in that the trail is pretty smooth. Grooming will end, but the entire trail will be open through the 31st. Private land closes across the state on the 1st of April, so feel free to keep riding, but please respect private property as land use permits do not allow clubs to keep the trail open. Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos
Andrew Stellmacher still good up there
