Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/07

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/07

Trails are pretty good!
Trails are pretty good! Conditions: Good!
https://coyotecrossingresort.com/trails-are-pretty-good/

Conditions – Good

Base – 1-3

Snow last 24 hrs- 1

Hello – Several of our tractors went out grooming yesterday. Most of the system got hit once before the warm-up comes early this week. I groomed Trail 37 north to Boon and then south to Trail 35. Overall conditions were mostly Good and better after getting some chatter worked out. Crossing fingers that warm up is short and we don’t lose this good start to the season 🤞. My son reported things to be really good between Boon and Mesick .. He said conditions were a little thin around Brethren , but I’ve heard Northwest towards Thompsonville had plenty of snow. Please remember this is early season riding and things aren’t perfect out there.

THINK SNOW ! Pete

MASS CITY / KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club – 12/07

Groomer report coming to us from Kurt and Joyce Helmstadter: Groomed Trails 12, 3, and 13 late yesterday. These are pics from Trail 12. Some plowed trail by Bob Lake. Temps are warming today, tomorrow, and Monday. Please be kind to the trails, tread lightly during this warm up. The bright side of this is that it will help firm up the base. Think cold!
Thank you, Kurt and Joyce!

PAULDING - WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Running Bear Resort >> What a storm!! 13 inches of snow overnight and still snowing! Some of you know this but for those of you that don't, I am a weather Observer for National Weather Service of Marquette MI . I have been doing this since 2013. So every day I make the trip down to my weather station and give them the readings for precipitation and temp. In the winter it's pretty exciting. At the end of the fence in the picture is where I walk down to my weather station and you can see how high the snow is on the fence, well around the corner the snow was even deeper, over my waist! It's a wake up for sure! The things I do 🙂 #westernup #snowphotosWhat a storm!! 13 inches of snow overnight and still snowing!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Snowmobile Trail Report
The predicted snowstorm did not disappoint! Higher elevations away from Lake Superior received over a foot of fresh snow, while the lakeshore areas picked up 4–6 inches of wet, heavy, packable snow.
With snowfall totals like this, it will take a couple of days for groomers to fully flatten and set up the trails. Strong winds—gusting up to 60 mph—have created deep drifts in spots, especially in open areas.
If you’re planning to ride in the next day or two, please use caution. Groomers will be doing their best to get on top of everything, but with this much snow and wind, it will take a little time to dial the trails in.
That said, the New Year is kicking off with a great start for snowmobiling in the Ontonagon and Porcupine Mountains area.
Happy trails and ride safe! 🛷❄️ #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotosOntonagon / Porcupine Mountains Snowmobile Trail Report

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 29 December 2025
So far I'm showing 9 inches at 8:00am and still snowing and they are still calling for another 3-7 by this evening. As you can see the boys were out all night trying to get ahead of all this snow. If you want to know who's been out grooming get the #groomertracker app on your phone today. It's a cheap way to be informed at $10 per club and $5 of it goes directly to that club.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP >> Well Ma Nature tried to make up for the damage she did last week with a good dumping of snow on our system.
It's 17° and still snowing lightly in beautiful downtown White Pine. As soon as we clean up enough to get out of our homes we will head out to repair and groom.
The plan is for Steve to leave out of Hamilton's North Coast Adventures and Tractor Mac will head out from White Pine. We will update all when we see what we see.
