Photo: February 27: We did get some surprise snow on Saturday night and the Starlight Riders took advantage of it. They headed out on the trails one more time Sunday morning before heading home. Word is, the snowmobile trail conditions are not bad, not too bad at all!

Happy Monday all! Luckily we did get a bit of snow over the weekend and thats been enough to make the trails way better! The groomers went out last night as kind of a Bonus groom since we got snow! South trail was groomed Saturday and last night Beulah to Copemish was groomed and looking pretty darn good! Same with the Tville Landis Crystal loop, north was done also, but the East trails were not groomed last night since the snow is just too sparce. Forecast is for fairly cold mid week and a better chance of snow later in the week, so for now its decent out there and I’ll keep ya informed as the week goes! By the way, those groomers are out there volunteering their time and energy to us, so if ya see one, get outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they go by! THANKS TONS to Mike T for the consistent reports and for stopping by to see me last week! Ride smart, sober, & safe! CYA ON THE TRAILS! Carol

Mother Nature dumped several inches on us again last night, and it is still coming down. Wow, our snowmobilers are loving it, trail conditions should be awesome and they are excited to get out there!

— January 20 Update —

There is plenty of snow on the ground in Benzie County. We had 8 inches of that white fluffy stuff fall just this week. A clipper is dumping 3-6 inches tonight and several more inches of lake effect snow is predicted throughout the day 
tomorrow.

Trail #3 was last groomed on Wednesday, our riding guests report today that trail conditions are good to very good. Should be great riding after tonight and tomorrow’s expected snowfall, but dress warm, fridgid air is here for the weekend!
