Traverse City Area Trail Report – 01/03
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 01/03 With the narrow lake effect bands we have experienced, some trails picked up 7 inches while the southern trails received only 2 inches. We will be out panning the northern trails this evening. If your out please keep an eye out for our groomers. At this time we only have minor lake effect forecasted for the week ahead. Keep doing those snow dances. Remember, if you do ride, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. <> <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lingering lake effect flurries, but mainly quiet and cold tonight. Although some light lake effect flurries can’t be ruled out of the usual places on Monday…the Northwoods will have its best chance at seeing some sustained views of that orange fiery orb that many haven’t seen in what seems like weeks. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLingering lake effect flurries, but mainly quiet and cold tonight.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow will linger overnight and in to Sunday for the northwest flow snow belts. Although no huge accumulations are expected, windy conditions will continue…causing blowing and drifting snow that will complicate travel conditions, especially in the Eastern Upper peninsula. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect snow will linger overnight and in to Sunday for the northwest flow snow belts.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> The groomers went out last night. Groomer Sid did the North trail and said the the trail panned out good. Groomer Steve did the east and had the same results. He ran into some heavy bands of lake effect snow along the way and took a video for us. Groomer Dave did the loop and said that the southern trail was thin but the northern parts groomed out nicely. Thanks guys for volunteering your time! This is Traverse City. <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Weekend hours and trail report:
We will be open and serving lunches today, 1/4 noon to 4:30pm and tmrw, 1/5 noon to 3pm.
Trails are in fair shape. Certainly nice to see some snow! Groomers went out last night. Sid did the north trail and reports trails in fair condition. Some thin spots and some wet spots, but overall covered and smooth and it’s still snowing now. Another groomer went east toward Kalkaska and things are decent. No groomers were sent south to fife lake or fairgrounds because a little less snow that way, but possibly today due to the continuing snow.
Thank you to all the volunteer groomer drivers! They are always in need of more volunteers if you are interested, please reach out to the Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club.
Beau and Knox are sold out with their ever popular winter hayrides this weekend, but please call 231-947-9529 to make a reservation for another weekend- rides available through February. #traversecity #snowphotosA little fresh snow for a Saturday!
