Benzie Area Trail Report – Benzie Bureau – 02/11
Rained on and off all night, trying to snow now but its a pretty lame attempt. Our trails were excellent this weekend and we had lots of great posts to prove it. The base was a solid 6-8 inches and we are hoping that will hold. Groomer on Trail 3 on East River Rd will be repaired and brought back to the barn today. If you head out to ride today its going to be wet ! However there is hope, temps will drop in some locations and we could even see some snow by later today. Wow what a roller coaster we have been on! Benzie-Manistee Snowmobile Club More info on our web about who to contact www.benziemanisteesnowbirds.com Benzie Visitor Bureau – 02/08 TGIF! A few MORE inches of fresh snow fell overnight, and after getting snow thru the week again, it should be a great weekend out there! Base is good. About 6′ to the south and Bear Lake north into Beulah and further is about 8-10! Beware though – Trail 39 near Wallin Rd has a very large water hole. It is not freezing since there is a flow of water in that area. Slow down and watch it near this section of the trail. Trail 3 from High Bridge all the way to Maple City was groomed yesterday as well Trail 395 into Beulah. Trail 39 will be groomed today. All trails will be groomed again today and early Saturday morning! There is about 10-12′ total snowfall on the ground – yah! Please remember to be aware of the new signage program! Some signs are gone now so you gotta be aware out there! Plus, if ya see a groomer, get outta their way and give them a thumbs up. Make sure to get here this weekend for WINTERFEST! It includes a Snowmobile Poker Run, Chili cook off, fireworks, and lots of other stuff! Awesome winter family fun!
