Trail Report 2/1/2014 Trail #3 from Kaleva to Turtle Lake was groomed yesterday, Trail 386 Bear Lake Spur also groomed along with #395 and #39. The only sections we had issues with due to break downs and too much snow were Trail # 3 Alysworth to Maple City the far North and to the far South Trail #3 from Clements to High Bridge. The middle section and spurs are in excellent condition for riding with 12-14 inches of base. There is plenty of groomed trail to ride and even the sections that missed grooming yesterday are still full of snow. We hope to have all the groomers repaired and out by late tonight or very early morning Sunday.

TGIF! Trails are looking so good! SO MUCH FRESH SNOW this week again! Trails are being groomed but lots of blowing and drifting out there is still happening so be careful! Groomers are even struggling with beating the drifts! Base is a good 12′ but some drifts are 3ft high so drive safe, visibility is a bit more limited! Trails are groomed but there’s lots of snow, hard drifts and some bumps still out there! Snowbirds cautioned today that just east of Yates Rd and before Whitala Rd on TRail #3 at the steep hill, it is very rough. The groomer was able to get up the hill but it took several attempts and there are some pretty large ruts. Snow is deep and there is still lots of drifting. If ya see a big green machine, stay outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they pass by! PLEASE Be smart, be safe, have fun and I’ll SEEYA on the trails! Carol

Another 3 to 5 inches of new snow just since this afternoon. We have 24 to 36 inches on the ground in most locations with drifts over 4 feet tall in some of the fields and open areas. Groomers have been out on Trail #3 from Kaleva all the way to Alysworth Rd. Bear Lake Spur was also groomed and #395 to Beulah. Even the groomers had a hard time today through the drifts. So have fun and stay safe.

Hi all! Happy Hump Day! Trails are looking so good! SO MUCH FRESH SNOW and so much wind though too! We have gotten about 12-18′ of new snow in the last 5 days putting us at 160′ for the season so far! Trails are being groomed but lots of blowing and drifting is still happening so be careful! Base is a good 12′ but some drifts are 3ft high so drive safe, visibility is limited and wind chills range from -10 to -30. Maple City groomer should be back in service by Thursday night and the Benzie groomer was down with a flat tire and will be back Thursday too. The entire trail system will be groomed starting Thursday since there’s lots of snow, hard drifts and some bumps to clean up after the past few days. It should all be looking great by the weekend again! If ya see a big green machine, stay outta their way and give them a thumbs up as they pass by! PLEASE Be smart, be safe, have fun and I’ll SEEYA on the trails! Carol
