Northern Michigan Snowmobile

Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula

Snow Resources: Radar Loop | Snow Depth Map | Winter Storm Warning Map

February 26, 2026 – 11:45 am update: – THURSDAY AROUND NOON – Winter is holding on nicely in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. Plenty of snow this week and the trails in the snow belts of the U.P. all have very strong bases. Groomers have been out all week packing down the snow. A brief warm up is coming on Friday with highs in the 40s, however, snow and colder temperatures return for the weekend. It should be another great weekend for snowmobiling in the U.P.

Northern Lower Michigan also received snow during the week and the trails are holding up nicely in the snow belts. The base is not as strong as the U.P. however it should be able to survive the warm up on Friday and trails should be in decent shape for the weekend.

IRONWOOD - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club >> Can you believe it’s almost the end of February!? Let’s hope March riding will be just as epic as the last 3 months! But can they get better than they ready are!? 2026 has proved so far to be the best trail conditions we’ve had in the last 2 years!
It’s been snowing all morning so far!
Come up and enjoy one more last ride! Maybe 3, 4, 6 last rides! Spring riding is just as fun!
Carter was out last night on Trail 2 from Bessemer to Hurley, then out to Trail 160 and back! Carter reports excellent trail conditions! Thank you Carter!! 🙌🏼
Be sure to stop and support our sponsors in Bessemer!

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club >> 2/26 Update: with some freah snow around the Baldwin area, our north sections of our trails (3,340,35 and 325) were groomed last night. We didn't do the rail trail from Baldwin to Reed City as it is pretty thin on snow there. The middle sections of our trails (3,320, 324) should be groomed tonight. Hopefully we can firm things up to make it through the warmup. #baldwinarea #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less
