WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 430am 2/6/26 - Expect poor travel conditions today as an arctic front crosses the region and roads turn icy again with snow/blowing snow. Very cold wind chills this afternoon/tonight will result in dangerous conditions for anyone stranded outside. Drive safe. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Strong winds develop near Lake Superior this morning, resulting in blowing snow and reduced visibility in the western, north-central, and eastern UP. In addition, slick roadways are possible in the wake of a round of patchy freezing drizzle this past night. This may lead to hazardous travel for the morning commute. While snow tapers off in the west and north-central by the afternoon, impacts continue in the east as lake effect persists the rest of today into tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaStrong winds develop near Lake Superior this morning, resulting in blowing snow and reduced visibility in the western, north-central, and eastern UP.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Left Newberry at 6PM, headed north on trail 9, 5.1 miles of nothing but ugly so far, out in front anyway.
Behind me, not so bad 😉
7:47 10.6 miles to the second stop sign today, a little slippage going on. Dozen pretty hard, may leave a tad of a mess edges of some corners, heads up just so you know, I'll use it on the way back.
Mostly getting outta my way tonight, mostly, Major pain to stop when you're digging this hard.😐
Anyway, miles and miles to go, keep you posted.
Thank You Chad Schubach for getting tracks adjusted up taunt, no way we could have fixed this trail tonight had we not. 😊
8:40 So I gotta tell ya, pulled out onto 498 (I75) toward Windy Corners, see some lights not moving Waaaay up there, get to the intersection, stop, ask them if the need me to find them something to do? He said, "No, he just saw we were coming and he wanted to wait, because he didn't want to piss us off", then hands me Gas Money!😁
I love this man, 🥰 thats all.
9:40, In and outta Windy Corners, pretty beat up, we left it pretty nice.
At the Go to Pine Stump corner, no man's land signal wise for a bit, see what I can do once I get there.
In case you wondered what Pine Stump looks like at 3:09 AM on a Friday.
Turned around at Holland Lake 4AM
Whoever comes up from Holland Lake has come and gone as well as Seney, 407 leg and loop are just incredible, so much snow to work with now.❄️❄️
Headin south, keep you posted. #newberry #snowphotos
FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Made it back to Frederic last night about 9. A fantastic trip 675 miles and 29.3 hours on my machine. Yesterday morning we headed out from Curtis to St Ignace where we took the ice bridge to the island andhad lunch there and ride around the island. They are doing alot of work over there including a huge project on the grand hotel. After riding back over to ignace we called for the shuttle to take us to the drop off point in Mackinaw City and it was another 3.5 hour ride home from there.. Dunstin and Ronald headed out last night to go back to Iowa but only made it to Grand Rapids as it was to slick out. It was a bit dirizzly ice so it was slow going getting here. We were at Kings fish market in Moran and ran into to guys that had been following our trip so that was a surprise. Pretty quiet in Frederic this morning and the snow is a bit squishy. Its supposed to cool down for the weekend and right now at 10 a..m on friday its 29 degrees. Been out plowing around the building here and I would say we had about 4 new inches during the week so I timed it just right for not being around here. Thanks for checking in. Pete. #gaylord #snowphotos

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> This weekend is shaping up to be an epic one! Full run last night with great results. Road crossings are getting love as we go. The county workers has been doing a great job keeping up with roads, so we are doing what we can to get the trail crossings smoothed out. It has been a few years since we have had to push back banks like these! Weather is looking warm next week, so take advantage of the trails this weekend! Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Trail Report 2/6:
We love what we do! We could certainly use some more operators to help us do it......
On that point, we have some new experienced help as Cody took his first run for NCSC last night! He, Chad and Tractor Mac hit all of our trails with the exception of Trail #12 from Ontonagon to Greenland.
We have had heavy traffic for a Wednesday and Thursday with warmer conditions. Trails are holding up well but deteriorate quickly.
Ride the 906! #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosTrail Report 2/6:
