I'll probably be up there both weekends. Looks like about 8" of ice on the lake right now but the temps are pretty warm today and tomorrow. Hopefully it cools back down and then dumps a bit of snow towards the 13th

55 and partly sunny today. Bad for ice and snow. NK

Well .... we are keeping our fingers crossed and heading up Thursday afternoon ...

Whats it lookin like weather wise ????

Thanks P.....

That doesn't look too bad ?????

I was at my cabin 20 miles south of houghton lake 2 days ago and there was 6-8 i9nches of fresh snow that fell thurs night but no base on the trails,tried riding but kicking up ALOT of dirt and rocks,Smitty

were heading up Friday am - does anyone know if the ice conditons are good? i.e safe & hard packed for speed runs??

I heard higgins isn't completely frozen but houghton lake is more like a pond,it usually freezes except along the southwestern edge and that will be marked on all the maps at every restaurant and snowmobile dealer,Smitty

I hope you guys get the snow you need. LEOPJM is leaving this morning. It's 63 degrees here right now. Good luck and keep the shiny side up.

not sure if I should tow the boat up or the sleds???
