LAKE LEELANAU -- The Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation (TART) Trails now has a new resource to groom the Leelanau Trail for skiing between Traverse City and Suttons Bay.

The new grooming attachment, called a Ginzu groomer, is designed to groom for both classic and skate ski techniques.

The Leelanau Trail is generally groomed once a week, usually on Fridays or as needed.

TART has also made an agreement to groom Leelanau County's Veronica Valley Park on a trial basis.  Veronica Valley is located in  Bingham Township on County Road 641 (Lake Leelanau Drive) and Maple Valley Road. 

The initial groom was on Tuesday. Officials hope people will take advantage of the new trails. 

The 93-acre park was formerly a golf course.  The county purchased the property in 2008.
