Winter has arrived. By 5 p.m. tonight we had received 5 inches of snow in the Cadillac West area.
I checked the White Pine Trail at about 4:30 p.m. and it had 2 inches of snow cover on the north end at the staging area. More snow forecasted this evening and throughout the day tomorrow. Today’s snow is light and fluffy and not ideal for making a base . We’ve had lots of wind to move the snow around. We’ll keep you posted as conditions change.
Remember the State Park folks have asked we not ride on the White Pine Trail until there is at least 4 inches of snow on it.

Yesterday we lost some serious snow. The snow gauge here in Cadillac West went from 5 inches on Friday to barely 2 inches last night. It’s expected to be a bit warmer today than yesterday so that isn’t going to help our situation either. Looks like we are just going to have to be patient. If you are in the area, please stay off the lakes. They froze over just this week.

Trails open in two more days–Sunday December 1. The snow on our system at this time is marginal. We have 5-6 inches in the Cadillac West and Boon areas with no base. The snow is packy and the ground had a chance to freeze up some before the snow arrived.
It’s doubtful there is enough snow on the White Pine Trail yet for riding. Remember the State Park folks have asked we not ride on the White Pine Trail until there is at least 4 inches of snow. There is no great amount of snow expected between now and Sunday. Hang in there. We are off to a good start.
