Antrim County Trail Report – 01/13
ANTRIM COUNTY UPDATE via Antrim County Snowmobile Club – 1/13
Good afternoon,
First and foremost have to thank our volunteers for all the work they have put in to get trails ready this year! Their dedication to maintaining safe and smooth trails is extraordinary.
Unfortunately the one thing that isn’t holding up it’s end of the bargain is Mother Nature. We had a great start to the year and then it was 50* and crazy wind and rain storms.
This week we sent each machine out and unfortunately the reports all came in the same, we need snow. Yesterday a couple of our guys went out for a ride and said the same thing. Trails currently are dirt to 5” of snow. The wooded areas are super thin as well as most areas open to the wind. Our southern trails have some chop in them from the uneven ground, 131 is very thin, north 10 is this as well.
With that said, we won’t be grooming until we receive more snow. Our crews are in place and the minute we can groom we will turn them loose!
If you ride please be cautious of the early season like conditions. Water, ruts, washboard / uneven ground. If you happen to see a trail obstruction please message us and we’ll get it taken care of. Please as you search for snow be mindful of private land owners and where you are.
Stay tuned for more updates!
