The destruction to our trail system is overwhelming, and it will take an army to clean it up. Whether you ride these trails on a snowmobile, side by side, four-wheeler, drive them in your truck, hunt these woods, walk, or bike them, we will need your help. We have a meeting this Thursday at the Harbor Barn with the Mud Brothers & Beach’s Up North Tavern to get plans together for a trail clean up on 4/26. #harborsprings #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Precip will gradually taper through the evening. Temperatures also climb above freezing through the overnight, remaining there until Thursday evening. The bad news is that gusty winds return late tonight into Thursday. Please see the attached graphics for the latest info. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Additional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas. Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> WOW. This is a neighborhood in Harbor Springs. The damage is so widespread. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas? <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
Our club has been working hard the last three days to get everything ready and up until today Mother Nature has been cooperating. Temperatures are sitting right around 38 degrees which is a no-go for grooming. Thankfully the trails are holding up and the temps are expected to drop below freezing in the early morning hours. Our amazing groomer operators will be hitting the trails around 4am to groom the route for the Safari. A huge thank you to Cody and Thomas for starting their days out super early for us all tomorrow!Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
