Traverse City Trail Report – 12/31
TRAVERSE CITY FOOD AND TRAILS UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 12/31 And update on snowmobile trails: Groomers went out today smoothing and packing trails. They are lightly covered and icy is places. Certainly not in great shape, but sadly some of the best we’ve seen so far this season- really wanting to see some more snow! But riders are out and about these last couple days. – An update on our weekend hours: Friday, January 1st: Closed Happy New Year! Hoping 2021 brings health and happiness to us all, as well as the ability to do business as usual sooner than later. .. <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> Blue Sky Rentals on Facebook >>>> Visit Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club Trail Report on MSA >>>> <> Visit See Traverse City Website >>>> <> FROM Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> Don't take your foot off the gas just yet, there's work to be done! We contracted Earthworks Services to repair a corner on trail 5. The corner has been prone to erosion which caused severe banking and washout issues. Mike, the owner of Earthworks Services did an outstanding job softening the turn, making a drainage runoff and leveling out the effected area. I just wish I had some before pictures. If you’re looking for excavating services, please do not hesitate to give Mike a call! #traversecity The SxS idiots will destroy all of your hard work in just a couple of days. FROM Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> We had 12 people turnout for the brushing event. Outstanding!! Thanks to Steve, Paul, Don, Mark, John, Pat, Shaun, Don, Chris, Craig and his son, and Kevin. Special thanks to the Northwest ORV Association for helping out! You guys rock! Thanks Steve for feeding the group a great trail side lunch. Again, thanks everyone for volunteering your time to our great sport. #traversecity FROM Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> The trail prep begins. Paul and Jeff started the trail grading today. Please make sure your watching out for the crews as they will be out on the trails daily. Also, thanks to McAllister Rentals / McAllister Cat for supporting GTASC. #traversecity WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Snow and ice return tonight, and continue through midday April 4th, 2026.

Slick roads likely in some areas into this afternoon with ice accumulations on elevated surfaces.
