Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/12

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/12

New Snow Last 24 Hr: 4-8"
Conditions – Fair
Base 0-1"

Hello – We got 4-8" of new snow … the first few inches were a heavy, wet snow. The groomers will start again tomorrow to try and pack some things in.

We lost most of the base from the warm-up earlier this week, but some areas kept ice underneath.

Do be careful riding, as it’s still early season and there could be ruts underneath.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> Groomer Mike went out on the south trail yesterday and sent in some pics. Mike said the trails groomed up nice with the exceptions of a few small water holes. Looking at his ribbon, I think I'm going out for a ride today. Thanks Mike for volunteering your time. Remember to Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.
Also, GTASC will be enrolling in the Groomer Tracking App program. Groomer Mike was instrumental in getting the GTASC on-line with this program. We anticipate to have this up and running very soon. We will update you when we are live. Thanks again Mike for your involvement in the club! #traversecity #snowphotos

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> And with the wind, down come the tree's! A group of members went out today to take care of the downed tree's on the South and West trails.
There is still more that needs to be completed, so be aware if you are out riding. Special thanks to Paul, David, Pat, Steve and Jeff for volunteering their time. Thanks to the group of riders coming from Kingsley that helped out with one of the tree's. Also, thanks to the gentleman from Fife Lake that came with a large chain saws for a big tree that had fallen there. It takes everyone lending a hand to keep these trails safe. The trails are being panned and the groomer drivers are reporting numerous water holes due to the rain we received prior to the snow. Be careful out there. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. #traversecity #snowphotos
