CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 02/16
TRAIL BASE: zero TRAIL CONDITIONS: Fair NEW SNOW LAST 24 HRS: 5-6″
Hello Sledders!
We finally got some snow!! Looks pretty again, but obviously there was no base under this 5-6″ of fresh snow. Trails are all white and covered, but could hear rocks underneath without a base. Felt like a first ride of the year in early December, when riding last night … according to our son who checked out the trails.
Forecast doesn’t look great after this weekend, so if you choose to ride, just remember the conditions.
There has been some wheeled vehicle traffic in this warmer weather we’ve had, so be cautious that some ruts could be prevalent on the trails.
THINK SNOW!
