Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> Groomer Mike went out on the south trail yesterday and sent in some pics. Mike said the trails groomed up nice with the exceptions of a few small water holes. Looking at his ribbon, I think I'm going out for a ride today. Thanks Mike for volunteering your time. Remember to Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.
Also, GTASC will be enrolling in the Groomer Tracking App program. Groomer Mike was instrumental in getting the GTASC on-line with this program. We anticipate to have this up and running very soon. We will update you when we are live. Thanks again Mike for your involvement in the club! #traversecity #snowphotos

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> And with the wind, down come the tree's! A group of members went out today to take care of the downed tree's on the South and West trails.
There is still more that needs to be completed, so be aware if you are out riding. Special thanks to Paul, David, Pat, Steve and Jeff for volunteering their time. Thanks to the group of riders coming from Kingsley that helped out with one of the tree's. Also, thanks to the gentleman from Fife Lake that came with a large chain saws for a big tree that had fallen there. It takes everyone lending a hand to keep these trails safe. The trails are being panned and the groomer drivers are reporting numerous water holes due to the rain we received prior to the snow. Be careful out there. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. #traversecity #snowphotos

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We had all three groomers out last night & they sure did have their work cut out for them. Unfortunately with the amount of trees down we were unable to get through the entire trail system. It took one opperator four hours to make it only 8 miles. The only areas that didn’t get groomed was Trail 704 Melody Lane & Gregory Road, 71/710 Cross Village Loop, & the 710 Spur from Big Pine to Warwick Road.
The trails are in good shape & it’s a great day to get out and ride. Please use caution in the non groomed areas as there are likely trees down and big drifts. We are hoping to have someone available tonight to groom the remaning sections.
⚠️🪵 There is still an active logging operation on Trail 71 from Brutus road to the Alanson Trail intersection.
⚠️🛑 There is an upcoming trail closure: Trail 7 (the railroad grade) will be closed from Trails End Road to Cadillac St in Mackinaw City starting Monday 1/5 for 3-5 days while soil testing is conducted. We will update everyone once that section re-opens. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
