Jordan Valley Trails Council Trail Report – 02/23

Trail update:

Lots of grooming today, everything but the north 10 was done today, grooming will continue through the weekend. 8-12” of snow on almost entire trail system in last few days, unfortunately it’s fluffy lake effect so it compacts to under a couple inches. We also received a small amount of freezing rain today which will only help the lake effect snow.

4/76, 76, 766 and #trail4 in decent shape considering all the warm weather and rain we’ve had for a month.

Trail along 131 is very thin, along potato fields is the worse part, but that’s ok, just remember the prestigious Jordan Valley awaits you!

Get out there ASAP and enjoy the great trails while they last! ACSC and EJTB clubs both had multiple vehicles in the parking lot and no complaints from the riders today as they were greeted with fresh snow and fresh grooms! Our friends down at Kalkaska County Sand and Snow – KCSAS have been out as well, so go visit them as well! If you want to know where either of our clubs have groomed check out Groomer Tracker, it’s a great service and a portion comes back to our clubs!

Get out on the trails! Right right, ride safe and ride sober.

Thank you to all our volunteers!

Light freezing rain will be possible overnight across the eastern U.P. and far northern lower, but any glaze of ice should melt Friday morning as temperatures rise above freezing. Additional rain/snow chances move in late Saturday and Sunday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyMorning clouds will clear from north to south later today as a front drops through the region, bringing partly to mostly sunny skies this afternoon.

Jordan Valley Trail Report – 02/22

Trails.Snow.Grooming update

We’ve received 4-6” recently and slated to get 6-12” more depending on the weather person you believe. At this point we plan to groom tomorrow (Thursday) and access from there. Reminder we’ve had a lot of melt and rain. You may encounter some soft spots and lots of ice under the snow, adjust your riding to the conditions. The little bit of recon we’ve done in the past week trails before this snow had 0-4” depending where you are on the trail system and a lot of rough frozen ice due to the terrain. Stay tuned for more updates through the weekend. It’s going to take a good amount of snow to bring trails back into shape but our volunteers will do what they can. We need more than 12” of fluffy Lake effect to get trails in decent shape, but they will be rideable while it lasts.

Have a safe weekend. Ride right, ride safe and ride sober
