Trails are being groomed. We have had 6+ inches throughout the Boardman Valley! Cold temps continue to drop snow in our area. With last weeks warm up the base should be nice and they will continue to improve throughout the week as the groomers do their job.
Please use extra caution while riding early season. Riders often forget the groomer doesn’t have the ability to get out of your way quickly. We hope for a safe and fun 2017,2018 riding season. We do have a handful of rental sleds left this week so come on out and see the beauty Northern Michigan has to offer. 231-633-2583 for rentals.

FROM Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> So you want to be a Groomer Driver.......GTASC is looking for volunteer groomer drivers. We groom 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday. If you prefer, you can groom during the day on the M-THs routes. These routes usually take 8 hours to complete. The Friday and Saturday routes usually run 8 hours also however, we run them after 5 pm due to trail traffic. We are very flexible on scheduling. Heck, even one of our volunteers lives down state and grooms 2-3 days a month! If you ever wanted to groom snowmobile trails here's your chance. You must possess a vaild drivers licence. We drive large John Deere tractors with dualies on the rear and chains on the tires. If you can handle your truck and snowmobile trailer you should have no problem with the grooming rig. We will train you in cab using a fellow groomer driver. Once you and your trainer feel comfortable enough, you can go out alone. If you feel this is something you would like to try, send our groomer coordinator, Pat Hurne an email at pathurne@gmail.com and he will schedule your training. #traversecity... See MoreSee Less
FROM Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> Don't take your foot off the gas just yet, there's work to be done! We contracted Earthworks Services to repair a corner on trail 5. The corner has been prone to erosion which caused severe banking and washout issues. Mike, the owner of Earthworks Services did an outstanding job softening the turn, making a drainage runoff and leveling out the effected area. I just wish I had some before pictures. If you’re looking for excavating services, please do not hesitate to give Mike a call! #traversecity... See MoreSee Less
