CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 01/21

Conditions – Fair to Good

Snow last 24 hrs- 3”

Hello – Groomers went out Sunday and definitely helped the conditions.. Things were pretty rough after MLK holiday traffic. With base being 1-3”, Winter Promotions groomer drivers are going out as necessary and being careful not to destroy the minimal base .

We have received about 2-4” since Sunday . Keep doing the SNOW DANCE as things are improving daily .

RIDE RIGHT! Pete • We do have 1 cabin available this weekend. – better book quickly

As always , we are closed on Tuesdays and open at 4 on Wednesday.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow returns to the Northwoods later this afternoon into Saturday as a cold front swings across the area, ushering in a much colder air mass for the weekend. Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and the eastern U.P. by Saturday morning with additional lake effect snow continuing through Saturday. Below zero wind chills are expected for most areas late tonight through Saturday. Wind gusts of 25-35+ mph will lead to patchy blowing/drifting snow, especially across open areas. Quickly dropping temps tonight may freeze wet roads by Saturday morning. Combination of snow, winds, and temperatures will lead to hazardous travel conditions across parts of the area through Saturday morning. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow returns to the Northwoods later this afternoon into Saturday as a cold front swings across the area, ushering in a much colder air mass for the weekend.

Traverse City Area Trail Report – 01/21

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf >> 01/21

Even the banks of the Boardman River are frozen and ice chunks are floating down stream-truly don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Currently -18 degrees in the valley. But no wind and beautiful blue sky- honestly a beautiful day ☀ ❄

Horses and livestock are doing amazing! Thankful for all hands on deck because it sure is a process to check and do all necessary chores and preparations throughout the day and the night to ensure everyone is staying warm and happy ❤

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> The winter weather advisory has come and gone. The trails took a hit this weekend with all the traffic. Luckily, we had a narrow lake effect band set up shop on Sunday and dropped a foot of fluff in some areas on the trail. Elsewhere, we received 2-6 inches. A few club members went out to check the trails on their sleds, and rated the trails as good, with some snirt in areas.
We will be panning this new snow before the warm up this week. Hopefully, this warn up doesn't hurt the base too much.
When your out on the trails and your looking for a place to eat. Check out our business sponsor Fife Lake Inn. Located on beautiful Fife Lake, their your family-friendly go-to spot for casual American dining, cold beverages and good times. Show them your tether and tell them GTASC sent you and receive 10% off your order. #traversecity #snowphotos
