good base on the Boardman Valley !

Good day everyone. Trails are holding up well. We had a bunch of people out and about all over the Boardman today and had mixed reviews. Some of the early riders found it a bit bumpy, however, by afternoon, the groomers were out and everyone came in happy. The trails do have a few iced up corners and we could use a bit more snow. The forecast is calling for heavy lake effect over the next 3 days so lets all keep our fingers crossed. For those of you who will be riding over the next two days please be careful out there. You may be noticing a few new faces on the trails this season. The local sheriff will be patrolling the trails regularly. We had spoken to them yesterday and they had stopped over 100 sleds to date. They are looking for the obvious. Please be safe out there everyone and have a great new year !

Hi Everyone – Dusting yesterday and forecasting 2" to 3" tonight and a system snow on 12-31-09 with "large accumulations" and LES snow for the next 5 to 7 days after that.

The groomers went through again late 12-29-09 and are scheduled to groom again Friday and Sunday, barring any problems with the equipment. The forecast is for more snow tonight and a system for 12-31-09 with "large accumulations" and LES snow for the next 5 to 7 days after that. But again with any forecast, I believe it when I see it. So this will make for some sweet riding this Holiday weekend. That is what is nice around here, we are in the middle of 6 different grooming clubs, if one isn’t grooming, one of the other Clubs are grooming. There will be some ice and snirt out on the trail in the curves, so slow down and enjoy yourself. Most county roads are snow covered, so getting fuel or food shouldn’t be a problem. There is tons of snow in the woods, so two tracken and seasonal roads are a blast right now. (Which there are tons of). There is going to be some Ice on the trails and roads, so be careful. THE LAKES ARE NOT SAFE YET.

Rooms and Snowmobile Rentals are available.

We are members of the Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan, Baldwin Trailriders Snowmobile Club, Benzie/Manistee Snowbirds Snowmobile Club, Irons Area Tourist Association Snowmobile Club, Wellston Area Recreation and Tourist Bureau Snowmobile Club, Lake County ORV Club and the Michigan Snowmobile Association, which are the local grooming clubs. I can not thank these guys and gals enough, they do a lot of work for free, so we all can enjoy this sport. I would only think that if someone is complaining about a bumpy trail on Saturday afternoon, come to a couple club meetings and see just what these people do. They would never complain again. Thank you again.

Call 231 745 4101 8am until 10pm. See ya soon on the trails.
