CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 02/12
Sleddin’ Heaven
Base- 2-5”
Snow last 24 hrs – 1
Conditions – Very Good
Hello- went out and trained Big Jon in the 7920 yesterday and conditions were great.. We groomed 6 East & West and the Spurs around Caberfae. I would say that trails are as good as I’ve seen in 4-5 yrs .. It’s nice to have a traditional snowfall to work with!
It’s gonna be a busy, holiday weekend. The volunteers from Winter Promotions will be working hard for you, but don’t be surprised to encounter some bumpy areas, with fresh snow coming and the high trail pressure . Make sure to support the local businesses and please be patient , as we are all fighting to keep up and serve these large crowds. Come out and say hi.. We will have bonfire going outside in Corral on Saturday during midday hours. We are now opening the Coyote restaurant by noon on Wednesdays, during sled season, but sorry, still closed on Tuesdays.
Lots of great comments from last weekends riders and even Bobby, aka “Hot Wheels” made it back out to the Northwoods without incident.. Also , my rib injury is much improved and I’m back on a sled and in the tractor again .. Thanks to many who were asking .. Also, give a Thumbs up to the hardworking groomers when you see them on the trail.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A complex winter system has potential to bring significant impacts Sunday thru Tuesday. Of particular concern is the Sunday night - Monday night period, when significant snowfall overlaps a period of very strong winds.

WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~(Updated) Snowfall Forecast Sunrise Sunday-Sunrise Tuesday~ A major winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to portions of the region. Most of the accumulating snow will be along and north of I-80. No matter how much snow will fall, there will be strong northwest winds that will create blowing and drifting snow. Travel north of I-80 will be near impossible at times. Some road closures are possible along and north of I-90 given greater accumulation and more persistent blizzard-like conditions. Heaviest snowfall totals through sunrise Tuesday (there will be more after) will be along Lake Superior. Snowfall rates could exceed 2" an hour at times due to lake enhancement. Expect over a foot in most areas along the lakeshore before dropping as you get closer to the WI border. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskey~(Updated) Snowfall Forecast Sunrise Sunday-Sunrise Tuesday~

You can’t get better than this. Another 6 inches or so of snow yesterday and trails like this you do not get to see very often. I ended up riding up to the bridge yesterday with the friend of the infamous Ohio Pooper who years ago was caught on my camera doing you know what which gave him his nick name. Brian and Mike and I headed up to the bridge and up thru Indian River, Mullett Lake and Cheboygan to Mackinaw City. Only a few ripples in the trail and 99.9 percent of the time super smooth riding. After a quick stop in Mackinaw down the other side of the trail to Carp Lake, Brutus, Pellston and Alanson to Indian River and back down to Frederic for a burger at the Swamp. All in all a perfect 170 mile ride. It just doesn’t happen like that very often. Pretty quiet here in Frederic this morning and i got everything plowed again. Still supposed to be some more snow. Pics below from our trip. Thanks for checking in. Pete

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Frederic is a cloudy ghost town so far this saturday morning. No one around and 31 degrees. Surprisingly we had about an inch and a half of pebbly sleet/snow yesterday. I only saw 2 groups of 3 sleds and one group of 2 all day yesterday. 3 of those sleds are pictured below and they were the only ones yesterday. Looks like we might get some snow the beginning of the week. The riders from yesterday were happy to be out but its hard out there. I met a youngster in town this morning from St Henry Ohio who is a regular rider. I didnt get his name. but its great to see young people wanting to ride. Thats about it for today, just waiting to see who stops by. So far no one. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 30 years ago this would have been the start of hell week. GM, Chrysler, & Ford would all be closed up and thousands would flock north for winter break and fun in the snow. Well fast forward from that 30 years ago and its pretty darn lonely here now. Sleet coming down this morning and a marginal amount of snow. It used to be so much different with snow in Frederic compared to Grayling. Forcast isnt looking great for this week either. I did see a few sleds out on Christmas eve day and the pic below of the 3 of them over at the swamp. Nothing so far today and its 11 a..m and 29 degrees. So it looks like I will get a few t.v. shows in this week. Stop by and say Hi if you do make it up or just wake me up if you catch me taking a nap. youtu.be/dCwgYCMq11g?si=mey8eKZMbZyscZJg
