Groomer Report
3-26-2026 – Nothing to report except to say the season is all but over! Our club had a great season for snow, we groomed 4,598 miles which is 653.4 man hours!!!! Fingers crossed for a great season next year, without getting the snow in 1 or 2 storms!! All winter snow would be welcomed!!!! Have a great summer!! Remember gates will be closed around April 1, as the snowmobile season officially ends March 31.
3-20-2026 – Because of the huge amt. of snow we got over the weekend, most of the trails were made passable except for the Rogers City north and South connector. Guess the State park north of Rogers City, closed the gate where the trail goes through their property! And homeowners along the north part on 23 have piled banks too high for the plow on groomer to go thru!! So from the groomer staging area north of Rogers into and south of Rogers City will probably not get groomed the rest of this season .Ride accordingly!! Reminder, the snowmobile season on the trails ends March 31. at that time, if there are gates along the trail, they will be closed.
3-15-2026 All trails were done this weekend, except for Rogers City connector south and are still in good shape. Now with the new snow today and winds, there may be drifting and possible trees down. A water hole opened up yesterday, between Rd and Bluffs Hwy toward Black Mountain. Have had snow all day so far north of Rogers City. Just hope we don’t get the freezing rain that is predicted for tonight!
3-13-2026 – Yep, north of Rogers City, we got snow on top of the freezing rain Wed, eve. We have 6-8″ of wet snow and wind! Don’t know when groomers will be out because they need to dig out their home first. Be aware, there may be trees/branches down from the freezing rain, wind and now wet snow! Please remove them if you can.
3 -9-2026 – Nothing good to report today. Temp north of Rogers City is currently 61 degrees!!!!!! Not good for the snow pack!!
3-1-2026 Groomers will be out today trying to break up the trails. for lubrication. Be aware!!
2-27-2026 – As of the end of today, all trails would have seen the groomer, whether grooming/panning/rolled. Right now north of Rogers City at the staging area, it is 43!
2-22-2026 – We got snow yesterday, at least north of Rogers City staging area. Groomer went out from here yesterday eve about 5PM, got back 8ish am today. Took him 10 hrs to do Black Mtn., trail 99/994. Snow very heavy and wet!! Came and got fuel about 1:30am then went back to do Silver Creek area, trail 99/990. Temp on rise, is 32 @ 11:45am.
2-21-2026 – Groomer was out yesterday rolling the Silver Creek -trail 99.and doing the rail grade -trail 9 and 992. We have had some snow every day, but also temps in 30’s. When temps get that warm, doesn’t help to groom. Some trail may have not been touched for a few days, that is why!
2-19-2026 – North of Rogers City we got snow yesterday!! Maybe 6-8″. It was a heavy wet snow. A groomer went out yesterday afternoon and rolled (to pack) the Elk Connector Trai l9 south from Millersburg, He said it packed well!! However, today temp is 35, not a good temp to groom. Hopefully trails will hold up!!
2-12-2026 – Rail grade, 992 to Posen and Silver Creek 99 were groomed yesterday (2-11). Groomers will be out today on rail grade 9 north and Elk Connector,9 south. With warm up, grooming not effective much above 32 degrees. Our trail stop will be this Sat, , Feb 14th. Stop in to get warm, have a hot dog, warm drinks and meet the men that groom and other club members that support them!! Sunny today, temp low 20’s. No snow for a few days, but trails are really in good shape!!
2-9-2926 – Groomers were out all weekend, grooming our trail system. They are still out today. Unfortunately, there was a fatality on Fri. From what I know, a snowmobiler went off the trail. He had a buddy come to get him and failed and called another buddy to help. In the process of getting everyone out, the second helper had a medical issue and passed. Our sympathies to the family of the deceased.
2-5-2026 – The groomer that was out yesterday grooming Silver Creek, trail 99/990 said there was logging beside the trail on Cheboygan Plains. Be alert when riding thru that area!
2-4-2026 – Groomers have been out over the weekend, yesterday and today. Still snow on ground, lighter in some spots, but good conditions for riding!
1-28-2026 Railroad grade, trails9/992 from Posen to Mann Rd were groomed 1-27. Rogers City connector, trail 998 was groomed 1-26. A lot of drifting where trail crosses Leer Rd. both north and South of the rd. Black Mtn and Silver Creek, trails 99/994 and 990 were groomed 1-24. Snow is good, but gets thinner toward Posen.
1-23- 2026 Its cold out!!! 2 degrees north town with quite a wind. Groomers were out yesterday doing RR grade (trail 9/992) groomer out to do Rogers City connector (998) both north and south of Rogers City, and found 3-4 ft. snow drifts just off of Leer Rd. Unhooked drag to get thru, but trail drifted back in almost as soon as he opened trail up. Then because of weather, hydraulics were hard to reattach!!. Trails are in good shape, but be aware there will probably be drifting in open areas. Groomer also went south on trail 9, Elk connector.
1-20-2026 Trail 99/994 Black Mt and trail 99/999 Silver Creek were groomed on 1-17-2026. Trail9/992, Posen to Mann Rd. were groomed today as well as trail 9 south to Atlanta were also groomed today. Snow thinner closer to Posen, rest of system in good shape.
1-17-2026 Not a whole lot going on up here! Temps in 40’s to low teens. Pick your choice!! Had a groomer go out yesterday, doing trail 9 south to Elbow Inn (Elk connector). He stated the snow conditions are very good, they seem to have more snow to the south of Rogers City! Have heard trails 99, 994 and 990 (Black Mountain and Silver Creek, )will probably be done this eve or night. Temp in high 20’s, north of Rogers City, as I post this!!!!
1-11-2026 Temps in th 40’s last few days, melted snow on driveways and roads. However ,Friday night, we saw snow. North of Rogers City, wee maybe got 4-6″ of the white stuff. Groomer went out last eve heading to trail99/994 Black Mt. area. Haven’t heard if other groomers went out on other trails. Beautiful day today, lots of blue sky and sunshine, but wind is blowing. Watch out for down branches and trees!
1-7-2026 – Trails 99/999/90 were groomed 1-5-2026. Yesterdays temp north of Rogers was 36 degrees. At that temp grooming does not help the trail. Groomer on 1-5, said when he went out there was 5″ of snow, but when he came back to staging area, snow down to maybe 2″. Guessing with mild temp yesterday, snow has gone down some more, maybe like spring riding in some places. Stay safe, ride right and remember the groomer has the right of way!
1-1-2026 – Happy New Year!! Almost put 2025 in!!! It is cold so far today, 18 degrees north of Rogers City. All 3 groomers were out yesterday, grooming trail 9 and 992 on railroad grade from Posen north to Mann Rd. Big Cut, Silver Creek and Black Mountain-all trail 99, were groomed yesterday. Trail 9, Elk Connector will be groomed today. From the winds and snow, there may still be low hanging branches on trail. Please move any such debris!!!!, ! Be aware riders, groomer has the right of way, so slow down when passing!! A thumbs up would be appreciated when passing a groomer!!! They are volunteer drivers, making the trails the best they can!!!!!!!
12-24-2025 – Snow conditions have gone down the tubes north of Rogers City! Have had temps in high 30’s. Need a lot more snow!!!
12-19-2025 – Yesterday, north of Rogers City, temps were in low 40’s. Then it rained and today, at 1:15 pm, is very windy and 20 degrees. Had melting, so if going out this weekend, expect less than fair conditions. When the groomer came in few days ago, water holes were mostly frozen. They may have opened with yesterday temps. Has been lightly snowing most of this am so far, not going to accumulate with the wind whipping like it is.
12-17-2025 Groomer out yester and groomed 99/994, up to Black Mtn. Trails in good shape for low snow amounts. Water holes are mostly frozen except for a wet spot up near Black Mtn. He did report there is logging at 990/99-Big Cut area outside of Millersburg. All that being said, it is 35 degrees this am, roads are clear and can see where snow has gone down, so all previous grooms will probably change. Still early season conditions. Need more snow!!!!!!!
12-11-25 Groomer reported today that rail grade from Mann Rd. to Posen, 9 and 992, was gone over yesterday. Its holding up well and in good condition! Guess rolling the trail earlier and good amount of snow we have had makes for a smooth trail! Just remember for the rest of the trail, you may come upon branches down and wet spots, still early winter riding.
12-05-2025- We got snow Thanksgiving weekend. Club has been out rolling the snow, hoping to get an early base down. Be aware it is early trail conditions. May be wet areas that haven’t frozen yet, also maybe low hanging branches.
3-10-2025 As of 2Pm it is 58.5 degrees north of Rogers City! Snow is melting fast. Because of above freezing temps for awhile, I imagine our trails are really, really bad. Don’t know if there is even snow on them! I am guessing where there is shade, there might be some base, but where trail is in the open, probably no snow on them!
3-2-2025 Moher Nature sure has been playing games with the weather! Was 55 n but returned shortly. .North of Rogers City on Tues it was 55 and was 7 Sat am! Had a few inches of snow during the night and this am, but with sun out most of the day, has melted some. Two sleds went by earlier on their way to the trail but returned shortly, guessing trail in bad condition.
2-24-2025 Trails were all groomed Sat /Sun 22 and 23. Temps are rising, 49 degrees at 11:30 am north of Rogers City, so expect some melting! Groomer went out yesterday to do trail 998 south of Rogers City and got stuck in a 4 ft. drift. Had to be pulled out so there are ruts in trail between 992 and Grand Lake Hwy. Use caution in that area!
2-22-2025 As of last night, Fri. 2-21-25, all trails have been groomed except from north to Rogers City (996) and south out of Rogers City (998).
2-19-2025 Groomers were out on Railroad grade-trails 9/992- Mann Rd. south to Posen. They also did Elk Connector-trail 9 south toward Atlanta.
2- 18-2025 Late with this report-was out of town over the weekend. All trails were groomed Fri or Sat. Reports they are excellent!! We did get6-12″ of snow over the weekend and it is really blowing today, so drifts are a possibility on the train. Understand the groomer that went out to do South. of Rogers City, met a calf on the trail! Never know what you may encounter.
2-13-2025 We have had 3-6″ snow past few days. Looking like winter north of Rogers City! Groomer out on railroad grade-Trail 9 and 992. Snow conditions good. Groomer just headed south on Rogers City connector. Sleds have been using the connector from Rogers City South
2-11-2025 Well the snow has finally come to Eastern northern MI. We have gotten 4-6″ of fluffy snow north of Rogers City! Beginning to look like a winter wonderland!! Thanks for all the snow dances!!
2-5-2025- All trails were gone over last weekend. Snow conditions do vary, but all report low snow on the trails. We certainly need snow!!!!!! Our club is having a trail stop this Sat. Feb 8th from 11-2 at the groomer barn in Millersburg. Stop by to visit and have a hot dog, hot cocoa and goodies!! All welcome
1-30-2025 Not a whole lot to report. Groomer went out Sat. (25th) and groomed trails 99 and 994. Snow depth varies We had maybe 3″ Tuesday (28th), so that should have helped the trail. Our yard is beginning to look like a snowy winter!!!!!
1-16-2025 Haven’t posted anything for a while because there hasn’t been anything to post!! Now for the news, no it isn’t really about. It is a star the snow conditions, our club was able to secure local grants to buy a roller for the snow!! Club volunteers have been out rolling the 3′ or snow that is on the ground. Hopefully if we get more snow, will have a start of a decent base. Groomers recommend you stay off the trail until we get more of that white gold for the best riding! Check out our Facebook page for pics of the roller and info from the groomers-Presque Isle Sno-Trails.
12-28-2024! We have had 4 snow accumulations of 2-4″ of snow, and now 4 thaws. It is currently 46 degrees north of Rogers City. Rained off and on all day yesterday, so we now have several puddles in our yard! Groomer is sitting “high and dry”!!!!! What a snow season so far??!!!!!!
12-10-2024 – The season started with great hope. Rogers City area had maybe 2″ of snow, but also had rain and warmer temps the last few days. Snow is all but gone!! Maybe with the colder temps predicted this week, water holes and wet areas may have a chance to start setting up! Fingers crossed.
