Conditions: Good to Fair

Just received grooming reports for the entire trail system. The last two days they have covered the entire system. The groomers are reporting the wider trails are Good and the narrower trails are Fair. Grooming will be on limited basis until we get more snow.

One of our groomers just sent this photo to me. He was grooming a southern portion of our system last night in our new groomer (JD 6175R). We’re excited about finally getting it on the trail.

Conditions: Fair

Things are looking up. We feel we can upgrade our trail conditons. Snow conditions vary throughout our system. The most recent snowfall (overnight) brought an inch or so for the intown trail and White Pine Trail, the mid-section of the trail system got about 3 inches while the northern section near Mesick got even more snow. We have started grooming on a limited schedule.

Benzie Visitor Bureau – 1/6

Hi all and Happy Hump Day! We got anywhere from 4-8′ or so of the fluffy white stuff over the last weekend and that is enough that the groomers are out! At this point the groomers are y are panning and filling in holes and getting rid of debris to be able to actually ‘groom’. They have started in the North and Middle to head to the southern parts shortly they say. So, its not perfect out there and we need snow but it is ‘early season rideable’. Unfortunately the forecast is for a mini warm up for the next few days with possible rain, but then after that, Sunday, Monday Tuesday comes back the cool down with several inches snow over those 3 days, so let’s hope we don’t get the rain but DO get the snow! So, after this initial clean up, should we stay Winter like, the groomers say they will be on a more regular schedule of grooming to build the trails up Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights – weather permitting. Reminder if ya see a groomer, stay outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they go by! They’re out there working hard for all of us!SO – NOW we really gotta do the snow dance and say your prayers to keep up the snow! SHOUT OUT of THANKS to my friends Cincinnati Steve & FedEx Lloyd for the emails and pics! LOVE IT! So, NOW I can say CYA on the trails! Carol B
