Traverse City Trail Report – 01/27

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 1/27

A weekend update:
We will be open and serving food Saturday, 1/28 from 12pm to 4pm and Sunday, 1/29 from 12pm to 3pm.
There is snow!
It’s not great snow. It’s not much snow. But it’s more than we’ve seen in weeks. Groomers are out panning trails and trying to get a base established. Some people were out riding today- again, not ideal conditions, but it’s something. The extended forecast looks like colder temps than we’ve been seeing, and some snow here and there..just a matter of how much we get.
Beau and Knox have 1pm and 3pm hayride times available tmrw! We are also offering discounted rides for all school employees on Saturday 1/28. 231-947-9529 to reserve a ride and secure your discount. Please leave a vm for a return call. 🐴🐴
