Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/04

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/04

❄️❄️ It’s snowing like crazy, and we’ve gotten 4-6” of good system snow tonight! More on the way! Early season snowmobile trail conditions. No grooming yet. Ride with caution! Pete will have a trail report tomorrow … he’s out plowing now. ❄️❄️

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/03

We’ve gotten about 8″ of lake effect snow and are expecting 4-8″ more, but forecasts vary. With lake effect bands, snowfall amounts vary greatly from region to region. Trails around here have little to no base. I would make your plans spontaneously, and see what this next system brings.

We do have cabins open the next couple of weeks/weekends. We’re optimistic for a great winter season!

* Caberfae has been pumping out snow and plans to open this Saturday. * We have trail permits for sale in the bar! And also some new KLIM accessories in stock for stocking stuffers

THINK SNOW!

How do these totals compare to last 10-15 years? Seems like snowiest since 2014?

Cadillac Area Trail Report – 02/16

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 02/16

TRAIL BASE: zero
TRAIL CONDITIONS: Fair
NEW SNOW LAST 24 HRS: 5-6″

Hello Sledders!

We finally got some snow!! Looks pretty again, but obviously there was no base under this 5-6″ of fresh snow. Trails are all white and covered, but could hear rocks underneath without a base. Felt like a first ride of the year in early December, when riding last night … according to our son who checked out the trails.

Forecast doesn’t look great after this weekend, so if you choose to ride, just remember the conditions.

There has been some wheeled vehicle traffic in this warmer weather we’ve had, so be cautious that some ruts could be prevalent on the trails.

THINK SNOW!

– Pete
