Groomer Report
January 26th, 2021
WoW… What a LOT of traffic over the weekend! It was nice to see the amount of people that were out enjoying our beautiful trail system. We have been out in full force from all 3 barns. That’s 6 sections of the trail system in 1 days work. The trails are shaping up nice! We finally have some snow to work with. There are a few sections of trail that just do not get the snow accumulation, simply due to the canopy not allowing the snow to hit the ground. This can allow for icy spots, especially in the corners.
Please STAY ON TRAIL !!! I have personally seen where people decided to “Boon-Dock” in someone’s hay crop! As tempting as it is, WE The RIDER Must be respectful of the Trail System as a whole, keeping the adjacent property owners INCLUDED in that respect !!! Be Safe, Have Fun.

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 01/17
Well, people are definitely riding around in our area, but conditions vary WIDELY between areas. You can be on dirt/mud on our access trail and be in great snow on forest roads and trails from Boon to Mesick. Forest roads around Olga Lake/Bristol are still good. I have not heard of any grooming restart yet, but there will have to be some damage control done soon. Biggest thing with agitating this marginal base, is we need cold temps and mild traffic to follow, or things might get worse. I will reach out to Winter Promotions Trail Boss and confirm his thoughts on topic.
We are open for carry-out and outside seating today (Sunday) and tomorrow starting at noon. Planning to close at 9pm Sunday and 8pm Monday. Thanks to those that came out for some Live Music/Food/Fires last night in corral … Fun time, considering all the circumstances this year. THINK SNOW, Pete
*****Grooming Update! Guys are going out today (Sunday) to do some damage repair and then try and flatten again tomorrow (Monday) after most have gone home.
We cannot overgroom right now, with these conditions, but rest assured They are being worked on as much as makes sense. Colder temps this week should help!

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.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Here is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.

A snow squall. Maybe that’s what we had going on in Wakefield today. It was nuts!
CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Trail Conditions: Poor - Fair; Base: 1-2"; New Snow last 24 Hrs: 1-2"
Rough weather earlier this week brought some rain, but the trails survived! Icy base stayed intact and there's still good coverage. The 1-2" of fresh snow on top gave some for lubrication, but still tough to keep your sled cool. Another 4-6" of snow is needed to get trails back in good shape. #cadillac

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan. Lake effect snows develop tonight, again most persistent in the snow belts north of the Mighty Mac. Gusty south to southwest winds today will result in some patchy blowing and drifting snow. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLight snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Combination of falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and accumulating lake enhanced snow showers will create hazardous travel across parts of the area today. Local power outages due to the gusty winds are possible. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyCombination of falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and accumulating lake enhanced snow showers will create hazardous travel across parts of the area today.
