CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 1/26
Ahhh — finally! Back on the trails! Dirt/county roads and & forest roads/trails are in good shape tonight, with 6” of new snow!
<>
As the snow continues to fall… here is Pete’s latest trail report: Hello- Looks like we can at least get back on the trails this weekend. Snowing now and 1-2 expected, with another small snow expected Friday night. I wouldn’t expect grooming anytime real soon, but with the little bit of icy base and this 2-4", there should be enough to keep things lubricated. What a tough year its been so far for sledders and businesses alike! I’m praying this is the start of a real winter pattern for temps and snow. Looking nice right now (3:40 PM) and radar is showing some more. Be prepared for icy conditions in corners and "Ride Right"! Several have probably cancelled for this weekend, but we might still have some "last minute" cabin openings if the skiers haven’t nabbed them up? Call, or check online for availability. THINK SNOW! Pete

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Frigid Temps Trail Condition: Decent; Base: 2″; Base is holding up, but we need more snow. 4-8″ expected this week, which would be a great help! Only grooming as needed right now. Per usual, roads are plowed down to very thin and ice. Last night’s below zero temps made things extremely firm with little lubrication, but with more snow and normal winter temps coming, that should improve! coyotecrossingresort.com/frigid-temps/ #cadillac #snowphotosFrigid Temps Trail Condition: Decent; Base: 2″; Base is holding up, but we need more snow. 4-8″ expected this week, which would be a great help!
