Reports came in that trails 71 & 710 west of State road were still in great shape from Thursdays groom, the railroad grade was starting to get a little choppy last night but not bad, and there are some spots on the Alanson trail that are getting rough. We did our best with only 1 volunteer and will have all three groomers out tonight. <> <> HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 02/15 All of our trails were groomed on Thursday night, and are in great shape. This is one of the best winters we have had in a long time! We only have one operator available tonight & he will do his best to prioritize the rough sections of trail. If you come across any please leave them in the comments & we will do our best. We will have all three groomers out on Sunday night. <> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Other than some lingering snow showers across the northwest snowbelts… conditions turn quiet tonight with partly cloudy skies and lows around 10 degrees for most locations. Chances of light snow showers do continue this weekend, but the gradual warming of temperatures will be a big relief from the hard winter conditions we've endured. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOther than some lingering snow showers across the northwest snowbelts… conditions turn quiet tonight with partly cloudy skies and lows around 10 degrees for most locations.
