Traverse City Trail Report – 01/09

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 1/9

Just wanted to be sure you saw our update that groomers did not go out last night as there just isn’t enough snow to work with. Although the things are mostly snow covered when looking out the window, trails are down to dirt in many spots are are considered to be in poor condition. We will update again when there is a change in trail status.
We will be open again next Saturday 1/15 at 11:30am. Still one hayride time available next Sunday 1/16, 231-947-9529 for reservations 🐴
Happy Sunday, friends. Hope you all get a good rest today 😴☺️

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Sunny and dry today, albeit, with a bit of a chill as we kick off March. Clear and cold tonight with lows likely dropping below zero in many spots.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Perhaps a few snow showers today (especially eastern upper), otherwise dry and colder with some peeks of sun. Some snow to contend with in two areas tonight… steadier light snow south of M-72, and some residual lake effect in eastern upper. We then trend cloudy and chilly Sunday before warming to more seasonably cool temperatures to start next week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyPerhaps a few snow showers today (especially eastern upper), otherwise dry and colder with some peeks of sun.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Sled Solutions >> 50 Miles on the Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club system from Peegeo's to Kalkaska and I'd give it a 8 out of 10. Trails were flat but we do have SOME dirt showing in the open areas where the sun is hitting it. Overall 95% coverage. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm again but right back below freezing. Weekend should be good to go. #traversecity #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less

Traverse City Trail Report – 01/06

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 1/6

Trail Report: 01-6-22
We received 6-8 inches of light fluffy snow yesterday and it is still snowing lightly at this time. The wife and I went out for a ride to see how the trails were and took a few pictures. We definitely need more snow as there is no base on the trails. Conditions are typical early season riding. Groomer Pat is out panning the trails so if your out, please watch out for him and give him a thumbs up. As you can see, some dirt is showing through after he panned but this will lead to better trails so please be patient. I wish I had better news on the trails, but the weather does look to stay cold so keep the snow dances going and remember to Ride Right, Ride Safe.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 1/6

1/6/21
Everything is snow covered! We got about 6 fresh inches in the valley. Groomers are anticipated to head out today. Currently 9 degrees and lightly snowing. There isn’t much of a trail report at this time because we really haven’t had rideable snow to speak of yet this season. Counter service food and beverage available this Saturday starting at 11:30am. It is forecasted to stay cold enough to hang onto this snow for a bit and we anticipate people will be on the trails this weekend
