Benzie Area Trail Report – 02/25

Redneck Snow Stick is buried and , the sunrise is breathtaking. We are ecstatic about all the comments, photos and videos on our FB. It was a wonderful weekend of riding and we loved seeing all of you out on the trail. Forecast is calling for warmer temps all week so, Groomer Guys are all going out later tonight while temps are still low to groom our entire trail system. They will then park the groomers and wait for colder temps later this week.

Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/25

Trails are all in good to excellent shape, but the longer the time after a groom the the rougher they get. Groomers are out smoothing out the trails daily. Hopefully if you find a not so smooth section you found many more that were freshly groomed. Groomers run 24/7 on different sections. Trails are generally groomed once a day on weekends and everyother day during the week depending on traffic, temps, and breakdowns. There is over a foot of base out in Raco, the most snow we have had in years.
