Petoskey Snowmobile Club – 02/16
Current Trail Conditions: Fair

Not much in the way of snow lately. Just an inch or two over the last few days. That, coupled with temperatures getting into the 30s is not a good combination for the trails. Most trails still have a good amount of snow and are in pretty good condition. It’s the steep hills that have the problem. The snow tends to slide down those slopes quickly, which exposes the ice underneath. Our groomers are having some trouble climbing a couple of those slopes. We are going to be out this weekend trying to gather up some snow and push it up those hills to try to keep the trails alive as long as we can.These are primarily on Trail 76 South (the Larry’s Run).

We received an email from the DNR recently regarding snowmobile trail usage. The DNR has dozens of trail counters buried in various locations throughout the area. There happens to be one on Trail 76 South. That trail is the only connector between the Jordan Valley and Indian River. The DNR states that from December 5th through today 10,454 sleds have gone down that trail. That is the highest amount of any trail in the area. We try extra hard to keep that trail groomed at all times.

Current Trail Conditions: Good

The trails south of alba are getting a bit tan,but there is no dirt showing. The base is groomable with ice under it,so very little dirt is being brought up.The snow is old and granular though so it does not pack well or hold a groom.It is good rideing if you dont mind the light tan snow.The groomers will be running daily.

FROM THE CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS
Tuesday–February 16, 2010

An inch of snow fell overnight and there is a light mist of snow in the air right now. The groomers have been out every day continually working the snow back into the trail. There is lots of snow in the forest and we’re always happy to report when we get more like we did last night.

Snow gauge*: 7 inches

Hi All. Snow and grooming, snow and grooming and more snow and grooming, this is what winter is suppose to be like, right? Riders in all directions from here, have been reporting good conditions, except some of the curves did get pushed down to the ice from this last weekend. There was some snirt in some of the curves and trail crossings, but has since been covered up from the latest snow. I do have to say, that the grooming clubs have been doing a fantastic job all winter long, making for some great riding for all of us. That is what’s nice around here, we are in the middle of six different grooming clubs, (which we are members of four) and if one club isn’t grooming today, one of the other clubs are grooming today.

We still have a couple rooms and On- site snowmobile rentals available for this week and weekend, so call soon or be left out in the cold. Call 231 745 4101 8am until 10pm.
