Petoskey Area Trail Report – 12/30
December 30, 2020 Groomer Tom and his wife Brenda are out panning and checking out the trails. We sure could use more snow to get some base going, but it looks bleak the next couple weeks. Keep doing those snow dances and hoping for snow.

Keep in mind that groomers have the right of way and try their best to look out for you. Be sure to throw them a ‘Thumbs Up’ to show your appreciation for a job well done!
The cost to groom 1 (one) mile of trail is $5.13? If you divide that $5.13 into the $48 trail permit cost, you will see that after you have ridden just a few short miles the $48 spent on the permit has been used up. This is the cheapest part of your snowmobiling budget yet goes a long ways to support the Michigan Grant Sponsors that help groom YOUR trails.
If your reading this and ride our trails, we need your help,we are in need of members. We are one of Michigan’s oldest clubs, forming in 1969, over the years membership has gone up and down, right now we have less than thirty members on the rolls and probably only twelve actually do all the work. Even if you can`t help all the time with brushing in the fall or grooming thru the winter, some help, when ever available would be more than welcome. If you can`t help physically your membership dues helps us do the things the DNR doesn`t help with. Again, if you like smooth trails, we need you, the trails don`t groom themselves.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
