Petoskey Snowmobile Club – 12/06
Current Trail Conditions: Fair

We have been getting some lake-effect snow over the last week. Some areas have accumulated almost a foot while other areas only have a couple inches. We have started doing a little "panning" to start packing down the snow and building a base. Riders are starting to get out there. No base to speak of yet. We need more snow across the entire trail system before we can really say we have a base.

We have to be careful about taking the groomers out when there is a lack of snow. The groomer tracks would only serve to chew up a lot of sand, sticks and rocks. It’s better to let a few snowmobiles pack it down a little bit first, then let it freeze.

Current Trail Conditions: Poor

Lake effect snow this week maybe 8 or so inches but not much to ride on. Parts of the system has been panned to pack the snow and smooth the dirt under the snow. The ground is still soft and warm. If you just have to ride there is snow but not really enough to suggest it be ridden.
