Good news everyone, the recent snow storm has gifted us lots of snow. Our groomers are out clearing the trails from downed trees and debris. Please be aware that at this time of the year you may encounter some wet spots in the trail system. Be careful and safe out there during your spring ride.

The Benzie Manistee Snowbird groomers have been out grooming trails since Monday, doing our best to maintain conditions despite the warming temperatures and limited snow cover.

Our crews have been busy filling holes, clearing downed trees, and repairing ruts caused by vehicles that traveled on the trails during last week’s warm weather. While we’ve made significant improvements, riders should remain cautious, as some areas still have visible vehicle ruts.

Please use extra caution on Trail 3 between High Bridge and Hodenpyle Dam, where conditions are more challenging.

Ride safe and thank you for your patience and support!

Trail update as the temperature rises this weekend.

We’ve been out grooming the last two days during the cold weather, and the trails are shaping up very nicely.

With the warmer temperatures moving in over the next few days, the likelihood of the trails getting soft and messy is pretty high. Once the cooler temps return next week, we’ll be back out grooming to get everything back to the quality we like to see.

Please hang in there through the weekend, as the trails may not be in their usual condition.

Snowbirds clubhouse will be open this Saturday 2/14 10am-4pm. We hope to see you there! Wendy and Mike will be there serving tacos! Thank you for your continued support! Ride safe!
