Benzie Area Trail Report – 02/04

Trail Report 2/4/2014 Trail #3 Alysworth Rd. North to Maple City, Beulah #395 , Landis Loop and Bear Lake Spur #386 to Pleasanton were all groomed today. The track groomer is coming down the trail tonight from T-ville to Kaleva and we will be using it to groom Trail #3 from Kaleva to High Bridge tomorrow. Base average is 12 inches, pack is solid and riding conditions are excellent.

Club trail from Chief Rd into Saddle Up Gas & Grocery can not be groomed at this time due to safety issues. In the meantime we ask that if you use the trail to stay on it and do not go around it on private property.

Happy Monday! Trails are looking pretty good. Base is a good 12′ but some drifts are 3ft high so drive safe, visibility is a bit limited! Trails are groomed but there’s lots of snow, hard drifts and some bumps out there! Snowbirds are unable to get the groomer down the club trail that goes from Chief Rd into the Saddle Up in Bear Lake. It is not wide enough and with the extra snow the groomer hits off trees, so we will need to get some volunteers to get in there and remove some more trees. Until then, because it is not a DNR trail, the grooming isn’t paid for and if the machine gets damaged the Snowbirds have to foot that bill out of pocket. Volunteers needed! This is a trail they hope to have approved by the DNR by next season but want to keep all the private property owners on board as well. If ya see a big green machine, stay outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they pass by! THANKS TONS for the email Dave B! Be smart, be safe, have fun and I’ll SEEYA on the trails! Carol

Benzie Area Trail Report – 02/01

Trail Report 2/1/2014 Trail #3 from Kaleva to Turtle Lake was groomed yesterday, Trail 386 Bear Lake Spur also groomed along with #395 and #39. The only sections we had issues with due to break downs and too much snow were Trail # 3 Alysworth to Maple City the far North and to the far South Trail #3 from Clements to High Bridge. The middle section and spurs are in excellent condition for riding with 12-14 inches of base. There is plenty of groomed trail to ride and even the sections that missed grooming yesterday are still full of snow. We hope to have all the groomers repaired and out by late tonight or very early morning Sunday.

TGIF! Trails are looking so good! SO MUCH FRESH SNOW this week again! Trails are being groomed but lots of blowing and drifting out there is still happening so be careful! Groomers are even struggling with beating the drifts! Base is a good 12′ but some drifts are 3ft high so drive safe, visibility is a bit more limited! Trails are groomed but there’s lots of snow, hard drifts and some bumps still out there! Snowbirds cautioned today that just east of Yates Rd and before Whitala Rd on TRail #3 at the steep hill, it is very rough. The groomer was able to get up the hill but it took several attempts and there are some pretty large ruts. Snow is deep and there is still lots of drifting. If ya see a big green machine, stay outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they pass by! PLEASE Be smart, be safe, have fun and I’ll SEEYA on the trails! Carol
