Haven’t been on the trails myself but have been talking with several sledders and groomer operators and they all seem to be very happy with trail conditions. The only complaints they have is about the cold. Today the high was around 5 degrees and the weather man tonight said that we will be waking up to -16 degrees in the morning. Later in the day tomorrow temps could rise to the teens and Saturday should be in the twenties and possibly low 30’s. Hopefully our bitter cold temperatures are pretty much over. We got a dusting of snow today and may pick up a little more tomorrow.

Overall trail condition: Good to Excellent

To better access the forest trails, you’ll want to use one of the Staging Areas below:

Caberfae Staging Area–approx.. 12 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Boon Staging Area–park in plowed area south of Boon Grocery

Note: The porta-a-johns were removed from our staging areas today as our contracts on them expired 3-15-13.

All three groomers have been running double routes each day to try to smooth the trails out from the heavy weekend traffic and softening snow on Saturday. Fortunately, the warm spell only lasted one day so we didn’t lose much snow. You may find snirt in places where the trail is narrow and deep in the forest but for the most part the trails remain white. The in-town trail looks pretty snirty in spots but is still snow covered. We could sure use some snow now to help clean things up. We’ve gotten pretty spoiled the weeks before Christmas with 2-4 inches of fresh snow every day. Since Christmas, we only seen a dusting.

Overall trail conditions: Good to Excellent

HAPPY NEW YEAR–Ride Safely
