Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

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.

Too bad that color is 40-50 inches, not 50-75 lol and its 1-2 ft not 3-4 ft

This supposed to be current snow depth? I’m 7 miles south of pine stump and we’ve gotten well over 2 foot in the last 48 hours alone. There’s way more than 50” out there. Way more than 75 even.

Traverse City Area Trail Report – 01/08

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 01/08

GTASC received 3-8 inches of lake effect snow depending where you are in the trail system. Groomer Jeff did the north run and reported some snirty areas and some good areas. Groomer Dirk ran the east run and reported the same. Thanks guys for volunteering your time. We need more snow but the trails are slowly shaping up. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.
