Hello All,

Finally as of today we have some positive happenings weather wise.

It has been snowing all day and we are looking at getting a small accumulation. Accuweather has us getting 6-10 inches over the weekend which would be excellent.

It has been quite cold so the snow we did have has held. Trails were pretty rough but when we get enough to start grooming again there will be a good solid yet sparce base.

I will keep doing the snow dance and hopefully I will have news of grooming resuming in the next couple of days.

Also, we have a great event going on this weekend in our sister city Negaunee:

Hello All,

Just doing a quick update and wishing everyone a happy holidays! We are in the middle of the snowstorm and it has been snowing continuously for hours now. We are looking at several inches of snow by the time it rolls through.

From the weather channel: http://www.weather.com/news/weather-winter/winter-storm-draco-west-midwest-20121217

As Draco’s low intensifies and swings northeastward across the Great Lakes through Thursday night, moderate to locally heavy snow or rain changing to snow is expected in parts of the upper-Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes, targeting Iowa, Wisconsin, northern Illinois, northern Missouri and northern Michigan.

Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are likely at times in the heaviest snow bands and you may hear some rumbles of thunder during the snowstorm as well. Storm total snowfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches (locally more than a foot) are expected in the heaviest snow swath from parts of Iowa to Wisconsin and northern Michigan.

If you have any questions, let me know. If you want to get on my email trail report list shoot me an email at cvmarketing@cvresort.com

Thanks,

Ryan
