Traverse City Trail Report – 02/08
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via GRAND TRAVERSE AREA SNOWMOBILE CLUB – 2/8 Trail Report: 02-08-2022 TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via RANCH RUDOLF – 2/8 This has been a tough season for winter enthusiasts. Snowmobile trails are in poor shape. We are mostly down to dirt and ice at this point. Hoping for a drastic turnaround. Will keep you posted as conditions improve, because they just have to…it’s been a long time coming…. <> <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> Visit Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club Trail Report on MSA >>>> <> 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. Snow totals will be the highest yet again into the Keweenaw Peninsula. It's almost a carbon copy of today. Ice totals, however, are primarily a concern for the Upper Peninsula. Ice storm warnings are now in effect... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Freezing rain gradually transitions to rain today from south to north as temperatures slowly warm above freezing.

I wish I had better news for everyone but I don’t. The trails need a good dumping of snow, just like the ones that have gone south and north of us. There is snow in the woods but the trails themselves have more dirt than snow on them. Our groomers are sitting idle until we receive some measurable snow. Sadly, I wouldn’t ride my sled on them and would not recommend it to anyone else at this time. Today, it was sunny and 37. Tomorrow the forecast shows 36 and some wet flurries. I will continue to keep you informed of our current conditions, hopefully they will change for the better soon. Lets do some snow dances and hope for the best. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Sober, Ride Safe.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
