Weekend hours and trail report:
We will be open and serving lunches today, 1/4 noon to 4:30pm and tmrw, 1/5 noon to 3pm.
Trails are in fair shape. Certainly nice to see some snow! Groomers went out last night. Sid did the north trail and reports trails in fair condition. Some thin spots and some wet spots, but overall covered and smooth and it’s still snowing now. Another groomer went east toward Kalkaska and things are decent. No groomers were sent south to fife lake or fairgrounds because a little less snow that way, but possibly today due to the continuing snow.
Thank you to all the volunteer groomer drivers! They are always in need of more volunteers if you are interested, please reach out to the Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club.
Beau and Knox are sold out with their ever popular winter hayrides this weekend, but please call 231-947-9529 to make a reservation for another weekend- rides available through February.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
