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.

Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and the eastern U.P. by Saturday morning with additional lake effect snow continuing through Saturday. Below zero wind chills are expected for most areas late tonight through Saturday. Wind gusts of 25-35+ mph will lead to patchy blowing/drifting snow, especially across open areas.

Combination of snow, winds, and temperatures will lead to hazardous travel conditions across parts of the area through Saturday morning. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow returns to the Northwoods later this afternoon into Saturday as a cold front swings across the area, ushering in a much colder air mass for the weekend.

We received 6-8 inches of light fluffy snow yesterday and it is still snowing lightly at this time. The wife and I went out for a ride to see how the trails were and took a few pictures. We definitely need more snow as there is no base on the trails. Conditions are typical early season riding. Groomer Pat is out panning the trails so if your out, please watch out for him and give him a thumbs up. As you can see, some dirt is showing through after he panned but this will lead to better trails so please be patient. I wish I had better news on the trails, but the weather does look to stay cold so keep the snow dances going and remember to Ride Right, Ride Safe.
Everything is snow covered! We got about 6 fresh inches in the valley. Groomers are anticipated to head out today. Currently 9 degrees and lightly snowing. There isn’t much of a trail report at this time because we really haven’t had rideable snow to speak of yet this season. Counter service food and beverage available this Saturday starting at 11:30am. It is forecasted to stay cold enough to hang onto this snow for a bit and we anticipate people will be on the trails this weekendPostings From Regional Pages On Facebook
We will be panning this new snow before the warm up this week. Hopefully, this warn up doesn't hurt the base too much.

The entire trail system has been panned and the groomers are now in a holding pattern until we get more snow. The trails are rideable but need more snow. Corners are thin and there are some snirty areas. There is a winter weather advisory for 3-6+ in effect until Saturday P.M., fingers crossed. #traversecity #snowphotos
