Traverse City Trail Report – 02/08
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via GRAND TRAVERSE AREA SNOWMOBILE CLUB – 2/8
Trail Report: 02-08-2022
I wish I had better news for everyone but I don’t. The trails need a good dumping of snow, just like the ones that have gone south and north of us. There is snow in the woods but the trails themselves have more dirt than snow on them. Our groomers are sitting idle until we receive some measurable snow. Sadly, I wouldn’t ride my sled on them and would not recommend it to anyone else at this time. Today, it was sunny and 37. Tomorrow the forecast shows 36 and some wet flurries. I will continue to keep you informed of our current conditions, hopefully they will change for the better soon. Lets do some snow dances and hope for the best. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Sober, Ride Safe.
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via RANCH RUDOLF – 2/8
This has been a tough season for winter enthusiasts. Snowmobile trails are in poor shape. We are mostly down to dirt and ice at this point. Hoping for a drastic turnaround. Will keep you posted as conditions improve, because they just have to…it’s been a long time coming….

How are the trail conditions
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> After the warm temperatures and melting snow during the day today (Thursday)...temperatures will drop off rapidly after sunset. This will lead to any wetness re-freezing on area roadways, which could lead to icy roadways and/or black ice formation tonight through Friday morning. Back roads, which became slushy today will refreeze as well, leading to complicated driving conditions. Finally, sidewalks and parking lots could also become hazardous to navigate. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAfter the warm temperatures and melting snow during the day today (Thursday)...temperatures will drop off rapidly after sunset.
