Cadillac Area Trail Report – 01/27

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

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.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Feb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions. Colder Saturday, with a few flurries around again, and then, you guessed it, more snow chances going into early next week…though signals point toward a warming trend during this period as well. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyFeb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Porcupine Mountains / Ontonagon Snow Report ❄️
Winter is absolutely delivering right now. We’re over 160” for the season total so far.
We’ve measured 24 inches of fresh snow in just the last week and a half right on our deck, and conditions across the Porcupine Mountains and Ontonagon area are shaping up to be the best snowmobiling and skiing we’ve seen in many years.
Snowmobile trails are well-covered with a solid base, riding smooth and fast thanks to consistent cold temps. Off-trail snow is deep, fluffy, and exactly what you hope for up here. For skiers — both downhill and Nordic — coverage is excellent, with beautiful natural snow and classic Lake Superior powder conditions.
📸 This photo shows exactly what’s fallen recently — and there’s even more in the woods.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to make the trip north, this is it.
And if you’re looking for a warm, comfortable place to stay after a full day on the trails or slopes, Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins is right here in Ontonagon — rider- and skier-friendly, close to the trails, and the perfect home base for conditions like this.
These are the kind of winters people remember. Don’t miss it. #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Porcupine Mountains / Ontonagon Snow Report ❄️

Such a busy week it's been. From keeping up with trail's and making sure both machine's are on the trail! We've had our hands full.
Temp's on Saturday got into the upper 20's and heavy traffic really took a toll throughout our system. We've been able to get everything back in shape, but some will take a couple passes to get back to Great Again!!
Trail's covered tonight 102, 13n, 8e and 8w.
Will we make it to March 31st this season? It looks promising..
