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. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common.

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!

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Trail Conditions: Fair; Base: 1-2″; New Snow Last 24 Hrs: 1-2″
Winter is coming back, and trail base has held up surprisingly well! Our early season snows and panning have paid off, as most all trails are showing no dirt. 3-6″ of snow is expected in the next 24 hours, and it’s snowing lightly now. With this fresh snow, riding can resume in our area and hopefully grooming efforts will restart soon... #cadillac... See MoreSee Less
