Mancelona Trail Report
Jordan Valley Trails Council
Updated: 12/27/2009
Base: 5 inches
Snowfall Past 24 hours: 1 inch
Current Trail Conditions: Good
The Blue Bear is smooth but dirty. The color cannot be improved untill we get a significant snow.There is dirt showing in some corners,and other places its a nice white. We are only grooming every otherday (at least south of m 131)to help preserve what base we have,but if traffic becomes too heavy for this plan,daily grooms may resume.
Petoskey Snowmobile Club – 12/26
Base: 4 inches
Current Trail Conditions: Excellent
Had some rain, freezing rain and warmer temps on Christmas Day. That all resulted in significant melting of the snow base in the area. Luckily, we had a pretty good base before this all happened but you will start to see some icy patches and possibly a little bit of dirt as we get into the weekend. The riding is still good as temperatures have dropped but just watch out for patches of ice.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS. – Hi Everyone, I did drive around this morning and was pleasantly suprised at how everything looked. All roads and trails that I could see from my truck were snow covered and looked pretty decent. We did get a flash freeze last night and about a half inch of snow and it’s snowing right now. The forecast for today is 2" to 4" and more through out the weekend and next week, but with any forecast, I’ll believe it when I see it. This is still early season riding and the ground is not completely frozen, so trail conditions can change fast with the temp. Most county roads are snow covered, so getting fuel or food shouldn’t be a problem, except right in the Village of Baldwin where it is getting a little bare. There is tons of snow in the woods, so two tracken and seasonal roads are a blast right now. (Which there are tons of). There is going to be some Ice on the trails and roads, so be careful. THE LAKES ARE NOT SAFE YET.
