Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> The winter weather advisory has come and gone. The trails took a hit this weekend with all the traffic. Luckily, we had a narrow lake effect band set up shop on Sunday and dropped a foot of fluff in some areas on the trail. Elsewhere, we received 2-6 inches. A few club members went out to check the trails on their sleds, and rated the trails as good, with some snirt in areas.
We will be panning this new snow before the warm up this week. Hopefully, this warn up doesn't hurt the base too much.
When your out on the trails and your looking for a place to eat. Check out our business sponsor Fife Lake Inn. Located on beautiful Fife Lake, their your family-friendly go-to spot for casual American dining, cold beverages and good times. Show them your tether and tell them GTASC sent you and receive 10% off your order. #traversecity #snowphotos

The trails continue to be in good condition! It’s currently snowing, and Gaylord is in for the same snowstorm hitting the rest of the state. If you’re heading this way, travel safe and get ready to enjoy the fresh snow!

Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord.

A few things to remember about our groomers and trails:

– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way.
– Please move off the trail when groomers are approaching and allow them to safely pass.
– If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass.
– Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night, so stay alert.
– Always ride on the right side of the trail.
– Ride safe and ride sober.

Sledheads of Frederic – 02/12

It’s hammer time again and I have my sled out front and I am gonna go for a ride. The snow is supposed to start about noon and we are supposed to get another 3 to 6 inches. Trails are still holding well from what riders tell me. Cold is supposed to continue thru next week. I need to get some gas in my sled as when I got back from Sundays ride my gas light was flashing. Not sure where I am going but thinking about jordan valley. Thanks for checking in. Pete
