Snow Accumulation: 9 inches*

Our Trail Coordinator had the day off yesterday and was out enjoying the trails. Can’t get much luckier than that! This morning he reports "Our trails are in great shape with 6 to 8 inches of fresh snow and very few bumps. The groomers started up again yesterday (2) and last night (3) . There is ICE under the snow and this new snow is packing down to only about 1" thick. We did not try the White Pine Trail, but I am guessing there are a lot of bare spots due to the high winds."

Benzie-Manistee Snowmobile Club – 02/21

Trails are fair to non existence do to snow drifts, some base building in places. There has been so much drifting that it looks in places we received more then we really did. Have not heard from trail coordinator about up-dates yet, only telling as I see trails on south end but will pass news along as soon as I hear something.

Benzie Visitor Bureau – 02/18

Hi all! TGIF! But not such good news for now. Our last few warm up days have seen rain and sun and it has been wrecking the trails pretty good. Lots of bare spots out there and not much riding area left. But the warm up is supposed to be over otday and cold tonight again with snow in the forecast again Sunday. So don’t give up! It "ain’t" over yet! Still only February, so once we get more snow and cold we’ll be back at it. I’ll let ya know first of the week if we got some snow again, so hang tight, get them ready to go again, hopefully soon! rm spell and although the trails are hanging on, they are deteriorating with each warm day. Its a bit colder at night but still right around freezing and warmer and sun in the day isn’t helping. Its supposed to get back to cold and chance of snow by the weekend so hopefully we hold on till then and then we get more snow snow snow! So, I’ll touch base later in the week in the hopes of good news! Do me a favor, ALL parts of the trails are not just a free for all for us, so STAY ON THE TRAIL! This means YOU! Its not just a given that we get every inch of trail for our fun. By the way, those groomers are out there volunteering their time and energy to us, so if ya see one, get outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they go by! Ride smart, sober, & safe! CYA ON THE TRAILS! Carol
