The Gogebic Range Trail Authority reports:

Overall conditions are in good to very good. As of Friday morning, all trails have been groomed. Due expect some thin spots along with icy spots. Use caution on corners they may be icy.

Trails 11N,11s, and trial 160 are closed. Hopefully the southern half of 160 will reopen the middle part January.

Cadillac Area Trail Report – Visit Cadillac – 01/09

January 8, 2018 – VIA CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS

Picked up a couple more inches last night. That could only improve conditions.

Just received these photos (approx 2 pm) showing the trail conditions of Trail 37 in the Mesick area. The photo on the left is the railroad grade north of Yuma headed toward Mesick. The one on the right is of the new portion of Trail 37 as it picks up the railroad grade out of Mesick and heads toward Copemish. Some areas on the railroad grades remain marginal where the wind has blown the snow off in open areas.

A few shots just taken at 5pm today to show you the snow! We have gotten another 1-2′ of powder today. Should be good for the Coyote Cup Kids Race next Saturday, Jan. 14th!
Pete’s trail update from last night …
‘Main trails(37,6) in Cadillac system continue to be good.. Tight areas are thin, but still decent. Hard base should keep things from getting rough until we get more fresh snow. County plows continue to scrape to ground on many roads, which makes some town access a little sketchy. Bitter cold temps today and tonight, around 1 deg. right now. Overall, I think we can all have fun in the area this weekend, but conditions are still early-season like. Haven’t heard much about surrounding areas, but my guess is that as you ride north of Coyote, snow is likely to be better? Forecast is calling for some snow most every day this weekend.. THINK SNOW! Pete’
… and the groomers have started grooming again!

Trail Conditions: Poor to Fair

The snow gauge just west of Cadillac is showing a 2-3 inch increase in snow over the last couple of days. There has been so much wind blowing the light snow around it is really hard to tell how much snow has fallen. I haven’t had a report from the national forest area or northern part of the system yet. They may have gotten more snow. Keep an eye out for groomers as they will be grooming areas as needed. Also be aware there may be ice on the trail where you least expect it.

January 2, 2017

Due to the warm-up today, grooming operations have halted until further notice. Colder temperatures are due later in the week and hopefully they will bring more snow.

January 1, 2017 — HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our Trail Coordinator reporting in this morning said the trails are in GOOD to FAIR condition. The forest roads are GOOD with the narrower portions of the trail system not holding up as well. He also indicated there is an ice base so be careful.

—–

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.
