Check These Weekly Updates Before You Go

There is no better place to snowmobile in the Midwest than Michigan’s Upper Peninsula! But trail conditions can differ widely in this vast snowmobilers’ paradise where snow bases are often measured in feet, not inches. 

The best way to know where to leave sprays of powder in your wake is to check our weekly snowmobile trail reports from December 1 to March 31, weather permitting. Local groomers post conditions in all 15 U.P. counties. Your next thrilling adventure awaits! 

Register Your Sled and Purchase a Trail Permit

Before you head out to explore the trails, register your snowmobile with the Michigan Secretary of State. Residents and nonresidents must also buy a snowmobile trail permit to operate their sleds on public lands. With this permit, you can ride on state-designated trails, public roads and public lands (where authorized).
