Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula
February 17, 2026 – 2:35 pm update: – TUESDAY AFTERNOON – The February warm up is coming to an end. It looks like the Upper Peninsula came through with not much harm to the base in most regions. The good news is that there is snowstorm in the forecast for Wednesday with moderate and more than moderate accumulations especially in the Eastern U.P. The fresh snow and seasonable temperatures should leave the trails in good shape for the weekend.
Trails in Northern Lower Michigan suffered a bit more from the warm up, however, there is still plenty of snow in most areas especially in the woods. Snow and mixed precipiation is in the forecast for Wednesday. With the new snow and seasonable temperatures most trails in Northern Lower Michigan should be set up for some decent riding this weekend.

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 2/18/26
Totally on accident, groomers Lane and Pete met on 49 where Lane was coming north to 7 mile, and Pete was coming south to 7 mile.
Thanks for the video, Pete! And thank you both for your time! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0218d #snowphotos
CEDARVILLE AREA UPDATE via Les Cheneaux Snowmobile Club & Grooming Report >> Congratulations to groomer Paul on his first solo run. A long run turned into a long day, but that didn't stop him. A broken pin caused quite the delay. Paul found a solution to finish the run and get the drag back to the barn.
Other than one wet spot on the Mackinac trail powerline that is easy to get around, the section from there to Cedarville turned out great. #snowphotos
