Benzie Area - Conditions: Fair To Good Updated: 03 / 05 By: Benzie Bureau
Trail Report: Benzie-Manistee Snowmobile Club - 03/05 Currently No Snow falling anywhere with warm up temps high 30's to low 40's by day to high twenty's at night all week. Rain moving in Sunday to Wednesday. With melt down we lost some snow on our trail. The trail on Highbridge Rd. from Old House Rd into the woods on River Rd is dirt with sparse snirty in woods and the bridge is dirt along with some curves through-out south system. The south end from Copemish to Wellston is poor through woods with thin to no base. North end from Thompsonville to Maple City is fair to GOOD with 2 in to 5 in base, holding up well from snow fall two weeks ago. Joe from north end of trail said he rode on Tuesday down to Copemish it was good. But he tried to ride again Thursday said it's groomed and it was only good from Maple city down to M-31 and down to Thompsonville is fair. So it looks like 40 temps are taking toll on all our trail. We have off trail ground cover of 1 - 6 inches. More info on our web about who to contact www.benziemanisteesnowbirds.com Benzie Visitor Bureau - 03/03 Hi all, Well we're starting to get a little warmer this week! High 30ish yesterday and today and up around 40 Friday and Saturday, with no snow forecast, so we're losing a bit of the trail with every day right now, but its at least freezing up again at night. BUt you know how that makes the trail! It's getting a bit snirty and soft on some curves and hills and showing thin in some areas. Kaleva area I'm told is thin with little to no base but yet the north end from Copemish to Maple City is better with 2 to 5in base yet, holding up with the snow that fell last week. Off trail depth and ground cover is anywhere from an inch to 6 or 8 inches! s. Trails were groomed from Copemish north to Maple city Monday night and they are trying again tonite since its still certainly ride-able but we're gonna have to wait and see about the weekend. Keep up the snow dance and cross your fingers that we get colder. Remember the groomers are volunteers so if ya see one, get outta their way and give them a thumbs up. Hey thanks Steven and Patrick for the pics! OMG I LOVE EM! And thanks for the emails Rog and Craig !I love getting emails and hearing your stories and reports and pics! Remember this report is all of us working it together! BE SAFE, BE SMART, and I'll SEEYA on the trails! Carol --- Complete Report --- More Report Links

Traverse City - Conditions: Fair Updated: 03 / 04 By: Snowblitz Snowmobile Rentals
Trail Report: Luckily over the past few days with the warm temps we have also had some wind which has cooled down the temperature a few degrees this has minimized the amount of snow lost. trails are still covered in 90% of places and locals are still our riding. Off the trails is better again as there is still a good 1 1/2 feet of snow in most places. Businesses with plowed roads or side walks leading to them are probably mostly down to dirt. Ranch Rudolf is still accessible staying on snow, since the trails come right to our door. Probably another two weeks max of riding depending on what happens. WE are meant to get snow/sleet Monday and Tuesday. thanks Brett --- Complete Report --- More Report Links

Trail Report: Grand Traverse Snowmobile Council Updated: 02/24/2010 The trails are holding up good even though we haven't had any snow lately. The groomers are still are still going out as scheduled. It will be a another great weekend for riding so come on up, you never know when it's going to end. When you are out riding make sure to watch for groomers we've had a couple of close calls this year. Blue Sky Snowmobile Rentals - 02/26 http://michigansnowmobile.com/bluesky The boardman is still in good shape. High traffic last weekend, however, the trails held up well. Most of the trail is snow covered. There are a few rough spots down by Fife Lake and around the Ranch. Riding is still great. We are looking forward to a couple more weeks of good riding. We found some great snow in the woods yesterday. Some areas in the woods still have about 3 feet or so. Seasonal roads, 2 tracks, and powerlines are in great shape. We have plenty of snowmobiles left for the weekend. Get off the couch and come up here and play in the snow ! Jamie SnowBlitz Trail Report - 02/26 http://michigansnowmobile.com/snowblitz FRESH SNOW…? We finally received some fresh snow, nothing like down state, however we got 3-4" yesterday and the trails were groomed last night and will be again tonight. It seems like the snow hit towards Ranch Rudolf and Kalkaska, not so much in Leelanau County. So it looks great for another awesome weekend riding, we also have the snowcross up here at the casino on Saturday. No rentals for the snow cross thanks……At this point it seems like we will squeak out at least two more weekends of descent riding on the Boardman Valley trail. Have a great weekend Cheers Brett --- Complete Report --- More Report Links
