Benzie Visitor Bureau – 02/28
Happy Monday all! Luckily we did get a bit of snow over the weekend and thats been enough to make the trails way better! The groomers went out last night as kind of a Bonus groom since we got snow! South trail was groomed Saturday and last night Beulah to Copemish was groomed and looking pretty darn good! Same with the Tville Landis Crystal loop, north was done also, but the East trails were not groomed last night since the snow is just too sparce. Forecast is for fairly cold mid week and a better chance of snow later in the week, so for now its decent out there and I’ll keep ya informed as the week goes! By the way, those groomers are out there volunteering their time and energy to us, so if ya see one, get outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they go by! THANKS TONS to Mike T for the consistent reports and for stopping by to see me last week! Ride smart, sober, & safe! CYA ON THE TRAILS! Carol

SNOWMOBILING FANS:
Updated: 2/24/2011
Base: 5 inches
Snowfall Past 24 hours: 5 inches
and still falling!
Current Trail Conditions: What a difference a snow storm makes! Trails are currently Fair to Good depending on where you go.
Groomers Report:
Snow base on the Island currently stands at 5 inches. The storm that started yesterday is still churning. 4 inches fell overnight and another 1 inch has been added today as of this writing. With more of the big, white fluffy stuff coming down our trails will be in excellent shape for some weekend fun!
INTERNATIONAL ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA: The Ice Bridge is OPEN. Do ride with caution! As the warmer weather continues the ice will start the spring shift/thaw. Check with the locals before crossing.
Customs officials are manning the Island offices and have posted regular hours. Before you cross make sure you have the appropriate ID paperwork.
CROSS COUNTRY SKIING FANS: All trails are in good to excellent condition with this new snow. Get out and enjoy them while you can!
SNOWSHOEING FANS: Snowshoes are no longer necessary to navigate this network of trails. A study pair of waterproof boots will let you get out and about just fine. The new snow fall has transformed the woods and it really is a Winter Wonderland out there once again.
