Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk.

Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/04

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/04

❄️❄️ It’s snowing like crazy, and we’ve gotten 4-6” of good system snow tonight! More on the way! Early season snowmobile trail conditions. No grooming yet. Ride with caution! Pete will have a trail report tomorrow … he’s out plowing now. ❄️❄️

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/03

We’ve gotten about 8″ of lake effect snow and are expecting 4-8″ more, but forecasts vary. With lake effect bands, snowfall amounts vary greatly from region to region. Trails around here have little to no base. I would make your plans spontaneously, and see what this next system brings.

We do have cabins open the next couple of weeks/weekends. We’re optimistic for a great winter season!

* Caberfae has been pumping out snow and plans to open this Saturday. * We have trail permits for sale in the bar! And also some new KLIM accessories in stock for stocking stuffers

THINK SNOW!

– Pete
