‘Tis the season to do your snow dance! NMMBA and TART are proud to offer another season of winter fun through our 2021-2022 Winter Grooming Badge program.
For several years, TART and NMMBA have partnered to offer northern Michigan winter sports enthusiasts a one-stop-shop for all their winter trail needs. Skiers, snowshoers, and fat bikers can support grooming efforts by purchasing the badge that suits their interests best.
NMMBA Grooming Badge
For the second year, the NMMBA badge givers trail users equal access to all NMMBA area groomed trails. That list includes some of the best winter groomed trail systems in the country! Make sure you hit all of the trails this winter:
-
Traverse City Winter Sports Singletrack
-
Cadillac Winter Sports Singletrack
-
Glacial Hills
-
Leelanau State Park
WHAT DOES THE GROOMING BADGE DO
All proceeds from grooming badges sales stay 100% in the grooming program. Funds will be distributed to meet the needs of all trail systems; the more we sell, the more we can support the trails, and the more often we can groom. The best way to ensure a world-class winter sports experience this year is to order a badge and tell your buddies to buy one, too.
In addition to a physical badge, which we encourage you to wear on your coat or hang on your bike, you’ll also get access to our grooming newsletters. These email newsletters go out nearly every time we groom; some years, that can be nearly every day for weeks on end! Those emails offer the latest updates on current trail conditions, grooming plans, and when the best times to ride will be in the days to come.
TART Grooming Badge
Winter sports aren’t all on two wheels. Traverse City Recreational Trails has offered a grooming program for the Vasa Pathway for decades. Their team of groomers is one of the most experienced and dedicated crews in the Midwest. Your grooming badge puts the crew in a position to keep their sterling reputation year in and year out, offering the best Nordic skiing conditions around!
