Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
February 12, 2026 – 5:45 pm update: – THURSDAY EVENING – The long stretch of great winter weather will be coming to an end this weekend with temps in the 30s and 40s this weekend and continuing into next week. Get out early this weekend to take advantage of the best conditions. Trails will be good at the start of the weekend in the Upper Peninsula and they should be fair to good throughout the weekend. Soft snow and high traffic might make for challenging conditions in the afternoon. Groomers should be able to get out at night to groom as low temperature will be in the 20s. Northern Lower Michigan has less of a base so this warm up may put more a a dent in conditions than the Upper Peninsula.

Groomer Patrick hit the Point trails #452 & #453 and called them good. He said the snow got pretty soft on him but all is good.
Groomer Glenn ran the Falls trail #45 and called that good too. Didn`t break thru any ice yet.
Groomer Dave ran trail #8 south and said the same. Our infamous swamp is still solid!

All trails will get run today too.
So......there ya have it. a complete run down of our system.
