Traverse City Area Trail Report – 03/05

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> 03/05

Please join us in a moment of silence to say goodbye to our cherished friend. He arrived in early December for a few weeks and then left us only to return in January with vengeance.

He brought smiles to all our faces as he continued to pile up on our trails. Even though we rode him hard, kicking him out of the corners and moguling him up, he didn’t mind. He knew that groomers would bring him back to life. Now, his mother has decided he’s had enough fun. She’s turning him to water with 50+ degree weather along with thunderstorms.

There is always hope that he returns for one last ride, but if he doesn’t, we will impatiently wait until next December to see our frosted friend again.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support this amazing event. We had 305 total riders, including 95 Veterans, join us for a day filled with camaraderie, gratitude, and great trail riding.
A very special thank you to the Newberry Post Honor Guard for helping us honor our Veterans in such a meaningful and respectful way. Your presence added so much to the day and reminded us all why this event is so important.
We are so grateful to our volunteers, ride guides, groomer operators, sponsors, and everyone who helped make this day possible. Seeing all the snowmoilers come together to support and celebrate our Veterans is what this ride is all about.
We are incredibly proud to host this event each year and can never thank our Veterans enough for their service and sacrifice.
Already looking forward to next year! β€οΈπŸ€πŸ’™
