Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/17

The snow machine hasn’t quit in days and today is no exception. Every day we get another two or three inches of the light fluffy stuff that refuses to pack. Consequently we aren’t forming a base with all this beautiful snow.

Locals have been out riding and report conditions vary. Fair on the narrow trails to good on the wider ones. Some report if you head north from Boon toward Mesick conditions are excellent and it is questionable if we should be riding on the White Pine at all due to lack of base.

Today starts a warming trend with temps low 30’s for a few days. Hopefully that will start the packing process…just so it doesn’t start melting. Winter finally arrives on Saturday.

Gaylord Area Trail Report – Ray’s Retreat Country Inn – 12/17

We are up to 20 inches.

Mother Nature has been very good to us this December. There is plenty of snow. In fact, the snow is very deep and if you get off into it and don’t keep on it, you will be sinking into the bliss of cold fresh snow.

With the bitter cold we have been having the snow is light and fluffy which makes it difficult to maintain the smooth trails despite the efforts of the groomers. Temps are going to be warming up into the 20s midweek. That will greatly help pack it for a base.

We got two/three more inches of snow overnight. Its in the forecast for this afternoon.

Isn’t it great? Its been a long time since we’ve started December out with this much snow.
