Traverse City Trail Report – 02/11
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 02/11 Remember folks all the groomer drivers are volunteers so don’t forget to give them a thumbs up when you see them on the trails! Last night they saw good trail conditions with very little dirt showing. The driver that does the North trail reported that there was a lot of snow and the trails looked awesome. If we continue to receive snow like the forecast shows there could be some excellent riding this weekend. Dress warm as the temps look to be in the low teens for highs over the weekend. Bundle up and go enjoy the trails. Restaurants are open so go hit Ranch Rudolph or Peegoes for lunch or dinner. Trails lead right to them and they are big supporters of our snowmobile club. ENJOY! <> TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 02/05 A fresh 5-6 inches in the valley last night, snowing now-all groomers scheduled to run today and tomorrow.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> Groomer Jeff was out on the east trail panning the fresh snow down yesterday. He rates the east trail as good with a 2-3 base. We will be sending out the groomers today on the west and south routes before the forecasted warm up. Please note, were are unable to pan/groom the powerlines because the ground is not frozen as of yet. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober... #traversecity #snowphotos 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. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers continue today, heaviest near and south of Grand Traverse Bay. While snow showers gradually diminish through the evening, a clipper system is set to cross the area late tonight into Monday with additional widespread snow. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryLake effect snow showers continue today, heaviest near and south of Grand Traverse Bay. While snow showers gradually diminish through the evening, a clipper system is set to cross the area late tonight into Monday with additional widespread snow. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow continues tonight into Sunday as winds shift more northwesterly, shifting focus of snows with time. In addition to the snow, very cold wind chills and air temperatures are expected tonight, particularly in areas away from lake effect snowfall. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday. Gusty winds will lead to blowing and drifting snow, leading to quick drops in visibility – especially across open areas. Wind chills look to stay below zero today into tonight. Cold temperatures may also lead to freezing of wet roads this morning, contributing to potentially hazardous travel conditions for the first half of the weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday.
