Traverse City Trail Report – 01/29
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 01/28
We received another four or five inches of fresh powder yesterday. I have not been out on the trails yet although I am going out for a ride today. I believe with the snow that we received yesterday that the trails should be shaping up nicely. This latest snow should take care of most the dirt showing in some of the corners.We are still running our groomers as often as we can to smooth out the chatter bumps and pack everything down. I would say that this coming weekend will bring the best riding that we have seen this year. Come to Traverse City and try our trails this weekend! I will be going out today to restock all the boxes with FREE trail maps. Come up and ride!

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 01/27
A few pictures from my groom yesterday. We are still running a full groomer schedule and a side from a little snirt in some corners the trail are shaping up nicely! I saw a bunch of riders yesterday on the trails. Get out and enjoy our short season!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers linger today with highs in the 20s. Widespread light to moderate snow arrives Monday into Tuesday before temperatures moderate into the 30s and 40s midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect snow showers linger today with highs in the 20s.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Here is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.

A snow squall. Maybe that’s what we had going on in Wakefield today. It was nuts!
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan. Lake effect snows develop tonight, again most persistent in the snow belts north of the Mighty Mac. Gusty south to southwest winds today will result in some patchy blowing and drifting snow. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLight snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Combination of falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and accumulating lake enhanced snow showers will create hazardous travel across parts of the area today. Local power outages due to the gusty winds are possible. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyCombination of falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and accumulating lake enhanced snow showers will create hazardous travel across parts of the area today.
