Cadillac Area Trail Report – 02/05
CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 02/05
Snow coming & groomer down
Snow last 24 hrs – 0
Conditions – Good
Base – 1-4”
Hello- some lake effect snow expected this week and significant system snow forecasted for Saturday & Sunday. Trails are in really good shape , with just a few snirty spots around the traditional thin areas.
Unfortunately, we have one groomer down and will try and cover the difference with the other two. Volunteers will do their best to keep up with heavy crowds expected this weekend.
Please be careful and respectful of others out on the trails and give the groomer drivers a Thumbs Up when you see them.
THINK SNOW & RIDE RIGHT! Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Here is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Trail Conditions: Poor - Fair; Base: 1-2"; New Snow last 24 Hrs: 1-2"
Rough weather earlier this week brought some rain, but the trails survived! Icy base stayed intact and there's still good coverage. The 1-2" of fresh snow on top gave some for lubrication, but still tough to keep your sled cool. Another 4-6" of snow is needed to get trails back in good shape. #cadillac

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan. Lake effect snows develop tonight, again most persistent in the snow belts north of the Mighty Mac. Gusty south to southwest winds today will result in some patchy blowing and drifting snow. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLight snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Combination of falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and accumulating lake enhanced snow showers will create hazardous travel across parts of the area today.
