The trails west of town are amazing. We’d like to say they are excellent but the ice base keeps us from doing so. There is lots of snow–both north and south of M-55 and it is so beautiful with no sign of snirt. The White Pine Trail and Cadillac West trail don’t have enough snow to groom at this pont. The White Pine has a thick covering of ice under the snow and is rideable. If the forecast is correct, those conditions should change by morning. Ironically, The White Pine Trail and Cadillac West trail are expected to get more snow (8’+ ) in the next 24 hours and the trails west of town are predicted to get 4-8 inches.

We’ve had mechanical problems with two groomers with week but fortunately we have backup equipment out there filling in. So if you have seen some different l tractors out there this week, you know why. Hopefully, our regular units will be back out there soon.

Snow accumulation: 9 -15 inches

REMEMBER there are fewer signs in the woods this winter so when you finally do get a chance to ride, take your time and enjoy the ride. The need for speed may be costly to you and to others. Assume every trail is a winding trail and be ready for the next curve.

A reminder to those who enjoy riding the White Pine Trail, State Park officials have asked snowmobilers to ‘refrain from operating snowmobiles when less than four inches of snow cover the trail.’

It’s a busy weekend here in Cadillac with the North American Snow Festival bringing in lots of visitors to enjoy the snow and community. All groomers are running. The JD7920 that operates out of Hoxeyville broke down on us mid-week so we put our standby groomer the JD7400 in service.

There is lots of snow particularly in the woods and north of M55. But beware–you can expect ICE just about everywhere under the snow. The trails are rated Good because of the ice base. Without the ice base much of the trail system could be rated Excellent. As is often the case, the Cadillac West/Pole Rd route and White Pine Trail (south-east portion of the trail system) do not have as much snow cover but still plenty to ride.

Ride safely and have fun.

Snow accumulation: 7-10 inches
