February 3, 2026 – 6:25 pm update: – TUESDAY EVENING – Conditions on the snowmobile trails of Northern Lower Michigan and the U.P. continue to be good to excellend. Look for a slight warm up this week with colder weather returning for the weekend. Trails should hold up well through the warm up and should be in good to excellent for the weekend. Traffic is light in the Upper Peninsula so if you want to make the trip you can expect great trails and light traffic. Pretty much everything you could ask for.

Overall the trails are in good shape but we really need some fresh snow. Warmer temperatures are on the way for this weekend which will really take a toll on the conditions & the ability to groom. We will keep everyone up to date as it gets closer. #harborsprings#petoskey#snowphotosWe had all three groomers out last night & everything was groomed other than the cross village loop.
