Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/12
CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/12 We’ve gotten about 3” so far and the “heavy stuff” is expected to start about 2pm … We’ll have trail permits available for sale in our restaurant, starting at 4pm today (or by appointment). <> CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS – December 11th, 2020 Well here it is upon us, The First Snow Accumulation of the Season !!! At present. the trails are damp un-frozen sand (it’s soft in spots) but the deer hunters have it packed in pretty good. The storm is forecasted to dump some rain first, which may cause some puddling before it changes to snow. as the temperature drops, and as the “wet” snow accumulates, it may make for some slushy conditions. The temperature is expected to stay well below freezing for the next 10 days. All that being said, the base for this season may well be setting in with all this. The trails will be established by what “WE The Rider” leave behind. It is gonna freeze in for a bit at least, with no above freezing temps in the forecast. If “You The Rider” wish to navigate the trails early, PLEASE Be courteous to the conditions and don’t put it to the bars from a dead stop or use the throttle to see how deep it is. We can’t groom until the trails are packed in with ample snow cover. To the norm, we generally don’t start grooming till mid January. We have been servicing our equipment and the fuel is on the ready! So now the waiting game begins. As a reminder, DNR Requires 4″ to be present for the trails to be open!!! BE SAFE! Stay Right! —– To better access the forest trails, you’ll want to use one of the Staging Areas below: 33 Rd Staging Area–S of M-55–approx.. 3 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs) Caberfae Staging Area–approx.. 12 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs) Boon Staging Area–park in plowed area south of Boon Grocery Note: The porta-a-johns were removed from our staging areas today as our contracts on them expired 3-15-13. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * VIA CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS <> Visit Visit Cadillac Website >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 2/3/26, 3am...A cooler day today with lingering north flow lake effect snow showers, especially near and west of Traverse City.
