TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 02/19

Trail update! 2/19/2021
Here are a couple pictures from one of our groomers that was out yesterday. He said the trail was “perfection”. Not all the trails are like this but many of them are right now. Better get out and enjoy them this weekend as a warm up starts Monday for a couple of days. But for now get out and enjoy- perfection!

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.

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 – 02/18

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 02/18

Trail report 2/18/2021

The bright sunshine Yesterday dried out the roads but did not have much effect on the trails since the temps stayed in the low 20’s. The snow is looking dirty due to all the grooming we have been doing but overall the trails are in good- great condition. I rode out of my house and picked up the trail at Broomhead road. I rode down thru Ranch Rudolph and down to the bridge at the South end of the trail. The snow gets a little thinner down there but trails were still decent. I wanted to see how rough the trail got by the bridge since I groomed it on Monday. This section of trail that comes of the bridge seems to always be rough. After grooming it I know why. To groom it properly you have to turn the groomer around and back it into the trail and all the way down to the bridge. It adds a lot of time to your groom so it doesn’t always get done. When I groom down there I will make it a priority to spend some time by the bridge and smooth it out. I will also try and do a better job restocking the free maps at all the major trail intersections. Did you know that there were free maps at the Supply road trail head? The box is on the backside of the big wooden sign. If you have never ridden our trail system this might be the perfect weekend to give it a try. Trails are in the best shape of the season so far. Are you from down state or from another state. Stay at Ranch Rudolph for the weekend and you will be right in the middle of some great trails and you can ride right out of your room. Park the trailer and ride all weekend from your room!

I also noticed that Blue Sky rentals was renting snowmobiles out of Peegeos parking lot. Don’t have a sled but want to ride? Give them a call.

Hope everyone gets out this weekend and enjoys our trail system. With the extra traffic expected this week I hope everyone remembers to stay on the right side of the trail. STAY SAFE!!!
