Snow Accumulation: 6-16 inches

We sent the groomers out yesterday only to discover we were a bit hasty. Even though we were just panning, the heavy equipment was bringing up leaves and debris so we have parked the groomers until we get more snow. The groomer on Trail 35 yesterday sent in some terrific pictures of JD 6175R on one of its first grooms with the new tracks installed. Hope you enjoy them.

Snow Accumulation: 6-16 inches

Cadillac West area has 6-8 inches with snow continuing to fall while Boon north has considerably more snow.

Just received a call from one of our groomers who lives in the Harrietta area reporting she has 18 inches in her yard. She rode toward Mesick this morning and found the trails to be fine. The photos were taken during that ride.

Total Accumulation: 3-5 inches

We were all hoping the area forecast of 6-12 inches by Saturday morning would materialize but sadly it didn’t. It seems other areas were much luckier than us but we hope we can keep what we have and build on it over the next few days as scattered showers and low temps are in the forecast. Our groomer workshop is going on now as the operators are at the barns going over the groomers making final tweaks on the tractors and drags hoping to put them to work soon.

Things are looking good. The forecast is indicating that we are in for more snow. We need that so the groomers can have something to work with… at this time there has not been any grooming done.

We did have riders in and they enjoyed being able to ride. They also reported trails are very rough at this point. Snow covered. They just had some fun riding thru the woods a bit and getting out in the fluff for the start of the season.

Its looking like we’re going to have a snow filled December. Time to be making those reservations over the holidays. Rooms are filling in. Enjoy staying along the trail as well as friendly hospitality.
