Traverse City Area Trail Report – 12/03

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> 12/03

GTASC received 9-12 inches of wet heavy snow around the trail system.

We sent the grommers out to pan the trails and flatten them out. Thanks to Jeff, Dirk, and Don.

The trails are rated as poor due to the snirt and limited base. We have numerous trees that are hanging over the trails that we are slowly taking care of.

However, once we get some new snow, they will be good to go. Keep the snow dances going.

Traverse City Area Trail Report – 03/12

FROM Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> 03/12

GTASC would like to thank our volunteer groomer drivers. The countless hours you dedicated to our sport and trails is much appreciated. In addition, we would like to thanks all those that were involved with the prep work. The brushing, signing grading and the maintenance on the vehicles. Without all your help, (and the snow of course), we would not have had a great snowmobile season. Thanks again for all you do!!!
