Traverse City Trail Report – 12/31

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 12/31

I went for a ride on our trail system last night. I rode from the Kalkaska warming hut down to Ranch Rudolf and then up the north trail back to Kalkaska. We received 3 to 4 inches of snow two days ago. There is still a lot of ice on the trails. Can you ride? Yes but use extreme caution and watch out for ice in the corners. I would have to rate the trails poor to fair depending on what part of the system you are riding. The areas to the north seem to be fair and the snow seems to thin out to the south. I read a report from one of the groomers in Kalkaska that said they didn’t even start running their groomers until the middle of January last year. We are still running groomers trying to maintain the base so that when we do get snow the trails will improve quickly. Hang in there everyone the conditions should improve soon assuming we get some snow. Hoping for a great riding season in 2021. Happy new year everyone!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf >> Yay, it’s the weekend!
After a couple of warmer days it’s nice to report trails are still in decent shape overall. Luckily, the nights have been cold enough to help save much of the snow, and groomers were even able to get out last night. Certainly some thin and patchy spots here and there, but overall trails are in better shape than expected- better than practically anything we had all of last season. Nice cold day to ride, good day to get out there.
Open today, 2/1, and serving lunches noon to 5pm. We also have a goulash and garlic toast special and a bowl of chicken noodle soup or chili with a grilled cheese special going today. Comfort foods to warm you up!
Open tmrw, 2/2, and serving lunches noon to 3pm.
Beau and Knox’s winter hayrides are sold out until next weekend. 231-947-9529 for reservations and ranchrudolf.com to read all about them! #traversecityYay, it’s the weekend!

Traverse City Trail Report – 12/15

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 12/15

Yesterday was my first time in the groomer this year. We have a lot of downed trees and limbs due to the heavy wet snow we received. Please use extra caution if riding this week as we are running a full groomer schedule in an effort to clear the trails as quickly as we can. We need to get about another 6 inches of snow before the trails will be decent. There is a tremendous amount of ice out there right now.

During my groom I saw about 10 snowmobilers out riding. I also saw where a lot of them were spinning their tracks down to dirt. We do currently have a very good base so if we get some snow the trail should firm up quickly. I will do an update as soon as conditions improve..
