Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/07

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/07

Trails are pretty good!
Trails are pretty good! Conditions: Good!
https://coyotecrossingresort.com/trails-are-pretty-good/

Conditions – Good

Base – 1-3

Snow last 24 hrs- 1

Hello – Several of our tractors went out grooming yesterday. Most of the system got hit once before the warm-up comes early this week. I groomed Trail 37 north to Boon and then south to Trail 35. Overall conditions were mostly Good and better after getting some chatter worked out. Crossing fingers that warm up is short and we don’t lose this good start to the season 🤞. My son reported things to be really good between Boon and Mesick .. He said conditions were a little thin around Brethren , but I’ve heard Northwest towards Thompsonville had plenty of snow. Please remember this is early season riding and things aren’t perfect out there.

THINK SNOW ! Pete

Temps are warming today, tomorrow, and Monday. Please be kind to the trails, tread lightly during this warm up. The bright side of this is that it will help firm up the base. Think cold!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 10 January 2026
It looks like everyone was out last night working on our trails. Reports are the trails were in pretty bad shape but seemed to groom well despite the snow being like sugar. The fresh snow will help make it more workable tonight.
Get the Groomer Tracker app on your phone so you'll be able to see who's been out laying that ribbon.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.

A lot of trees came down again with the last little storm so please watch out for trees and remember Ride Right and Ride Safe. Watch out for groomers also. #watersmeet #westernup ...

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's report for 1-9-26. Friday evenings groom.
The good and the bad.
First we'll start with the good. Everything in our system will be groomed tonight before you all wake up.
The Trail's were in very bad shape. Heavy traffic, and warm Temp's, we kinda expected as much.
We had one machine leave early (4pm). Snow was rolling through the drag and blade but everything started freezing in tight quickly and traffic over a fresh groomed trail we started getting sugar snow. (Which doesn't pack well). There's plenty of snow out there but we need some new to help improve what we're working with. They are calling for a couple inches tomorrow which will help bring the moisture back.
We'll keep plugging away and get everything back in shape but it will take a few passes... Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
