Cadillac Area Trail Report – Cadillac Trails – 01/12

January 12, 2016 – Conditions: Good

We picked up 2-3 inches overnight (part of the 6-12 inches forecasted for our area through 7 p.m. this evening.) Sure hope we have a big storm this afternoon. Actually, we will take what we get and be happy because we have a lot more snow now than we did two weeks ago. Much of our area has a foot of snow on the ground and the groomers are running as are the snowmobiles. We still have a few thin spots in the system so we will wait for more snow before upgrading our Conditions rating but sledders are having a good time and winter is finally here.

January 10, 2016 UPDATE – Conditions: Good

Just got a call from our Trail Coordinator reporting the trails are in GOOD CONDITION and the groomers will start their regular runs this evenings–FINALLY!!! It’s snowing heavily now and continues to build up.

We picked up 6 to 7 inches overnight and have been advised our winter storm warning will be in effect until this evening. It is snowing and blowing now.

There appears to be more snow coming each day until Friday. Temps have dropped as well giving us a chance to keep what we have. Our Trail Coordinator has gone for a ride and has promised to get back to me with a report when he gets back. You might want to check back later.

Benzie Area Trail Report – 01/12

January 12 – Lots of new snow.
Groomers will be out on a regular schedule.
Get out and ride

January 11 – Groomers will be out all week. Keep in mind we are in early stages of building a good base. This means we are using snow to fill large holes, TRUCK RUTS, and water holes. With this weeks snow forecast we should be in good condition by the weekend. I’ll update tomorrow after I blast through all the fresh stuff on my ride!

Benzie Visitor Bureau – 1/11

Hi all! Yeehah! We got snow and conditions are getting better every day now! We received between 4-8′ of system snow first, then a few more inches of lake effect, then some serious winds yesterday AND now tonight and into tomorrow we are forecasted to get another 6-12′ of a lake effect ‘clipper’! So, groomers were out last night and got all the trails but the Brethren spur groomed last night which they will do tomorrow. The B/M Snowbirds facebook page said that their ‘planned’ groomer schedule for the year will be Kaleva to Highbridge – Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun. and Kaleva to Bear Lake/Thompsonville – Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun, and Turtle Creek and North – Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun. Remember this is the ‘PLAN’ but obviously does not account for extreme weather, breakdowns, etc. Also remember that high traffic causes bumps in the trails, & riding sensibly helps keep the corners and intersections smooth. Please get outta the groomers way if ya see one and give them a thumbs up! They are working to keep the trails in good condition for you. Shout out of THANKS to Roy for the email! Love hearing from y’all out there! SO – finally I can post a good report and say till next time CYA on the trails! Carol
