Traverse City Area Trail Report – 12/22
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> 12/22
I know, I know, I’m late in reporting the trail conditions.
Yes, the trails took a hit with the last warm up. But the good news is that we didn’t receive the heavy rains as forecasted. We have a crusty, icey base still on the trails and we continue to get light flurries, but unfortunately, no accumulating snow.
The trails are currently rated as poor. We need to survive this week’s warmer temps and get a good dumping and we will be back in business. The GTASC groomer drivers will be ready when that time comes. Remember when you ride, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.
And when were able to ride, or your just out and about looking for family dining, serving breakfest, lunch and dinner, and pizza too. Please make sure you stop in at the Yankee Boy Restaurant for a bite to eat. When the snow returns, you can access them from the trail. Yankee Boy is a sponsor of the GTASC. Follow them on Facebook for their daily specials. Please support those businesses that support our sport.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> We received about 3-4 inches of fresh snow overnight. Groomer driver Don went out on the west trail and reported excellent conditions. Groomer driver Jeff was on the south trail and reported some drifting in the open areas and rated the trails as excellent. We will be out again tomorrow.
