❄️❄️ 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!
– Pete

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/03
It’s been calm and quiet this morning in Frederic, no new snow to speak of overnight but I have seen both the Gaylord and Grayling Groomers this morning. There is supposed to be a clipper tongith which might give us some nice thick snow.. That makes me think I may have to be closed tommorow so I can get a ride in. I am ready for a good ride after only getting in 200 miles last year.
