Snow Accumulation: 7.5 inches

We picked up about 3 inches of snow yesterday so that should extend our riding season in the forest for a few more days. We’re doing limited grooming depending on traffic and snow conditions.

For forest access to our trail system, use the following Staging Areas:

Cadillac West Area: 33 Rd, 27 Rd (both off M55 W)

Caberfae Area: 13 Rd (off W M55)

Boon: By Boon Grocery

Today will be an interesting day. We just picked up a !/2 inch of snow in the last hour. There is snow, sleet and rain forecasted for today. It snowing pretty heavy right now and we’re hoping it stays that way.

I just received a trail update from Al Green our Trail Coordinator. It follows: "All 3 of the groomers have been going out approx. every other day. The 7920 went west on the Tunnel on Monday am, the 6430 went out Sunday (north) and yesterday (south), the 8120 went out Sunday night to the Pine River and Bristol.

All of the drivers are reporting the trails are great where there is snow/ice, or bare dirt. They say about 80 percent of the trails on the forest roads are perfect. The sun and warm temps on Monday and Tuesday afternoons put a major hurt to the system. Todays cooler temps. and clouds will hold what we have. If this system stays as snow and does NOT change to rain, there could be some more great riding for a few more days."

Cadillac Area Trail Report – Cadillac Trails – 03/05

Saturday, March 5, 2011
Snow Accumulation: 9 inches*

We woke up this morning to a beautiful light, fluffy snow covering of 3 to 4 inches and it is still snowing. Temperatures are hovering around 28 degrees. Yesterday was a different story. We were blanketed with a coating of ice on everything. Temperatures when up yesterday afternoon so some of the ice melted and some didn’t before temperatures dropped again. As a result, I would ride cautiously and expect to find ice under the new snow everywhere.

Snow Accumulation: 5.5 inches*

The groomers are going out on the forest trails today. There has been considerable sled traffic this week and we want to smooth the trails before the warm arrives as predicted for the next couple of days.

Snow Accumulation: 5.5 inches*

The groomers are parked again waiting for more snow. The trails in the forest are still in pretty good shape but you will want to use the staging areas to get to them. It won’t take much more snow to put the groomers back into action as long as temperatures stay down. Sadly, it is March and we can expect just about anything.

For forest access to our trail system, use the following Staging Areas:

Cadillac West Area: 33 Rd, 27 Rd (both off M55 W)

Caberfae Area: 13 Rd (off W M55)

Boon: By Boon Grocery*

Snow gauge located north of the 33 Rd Staging Area.
