Traverse City Area Trail Report – 02/01
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf >> 02/01 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! <> <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> And with the wind, down come the tree's!

There is still more that needs to be completed, so be aware if you are out riding. Special thanks to Paul, David, Pat, Steve and Jeff for volunteering their time. Thanks to the group of riders coming from Kingsley that helped out with one of the tree's. Also, thanks to the gentleman from Fife Lake that came with a large chain saws for a big tree that had fallen there. It takes everyone lending a hand to keep these trails safe. The trails are being panned and the groomer drivers are reporting numerous water holes due to the rain we received prior to the snow. Be careful out there. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. #traversecity #snowphotos
