I like it, I like it a lot. Nice cold temps and snow fell most of the day yesterday. Really only a few new inches of mostly fluffy lake effect but it keeps coming and is adding up which we all like a lot. Still not close enough for groomers to be out but predictions for the rest of the week are cold temps and more snow so you cant ask for more than that. I only saw a few sleds all day yesterday and so far this morning in Frederic the only thing I have seen go thru is the train heading north which reminds me STAY AWAY FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS unless you want a $300 ticket for even being a little close to them. I have 3 sleds of my own and had them all fired up yesterday and wiped them down so they are ready when I am to get out there. Roads are snow covered and currently its 13 degrees out there but no snow falling at this time. I was also very saddened to learn of the passing of a great man and WW2 veteran Woody Austin on sunday. He is the one I asked people to send cards to last month for veterans day. He did receive several which I know made his day. RIP Woody, you were a great man. Thanks for checking in. Pete

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – Glorious morning with 4” of fresh snow at Coyote, and 8” just west of us! Ski slopes are open full time at Caberfae starting Friday, Dec.15th, and the snowmobile trails should be decent this weekend as well. Still very little base
CABERFAE PEAKS
6″ new over night and still snowing! 7.5″ last 48 and 10″ last 72 hours…. slopes reopen for the season this Friday at 10 am!
DECEMBER 8
Trails are open and legal for riding, however we only have 3″ of lake effect fluff. Groomers are standing by. Please remember in our area trail 5, the White Pine Linear Trail, the DNR asks for a minimum of 4″ so we don’t damage the asphalt. Keep praying for snow and we will keep you updated as we get the season underway.
