Cadillac Area Trail Report – 01/16
CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 01/16 New Snow Last 24 hrs: 2-3″ Conditions: Fair – Good Base: 1-3″ Hello! Cadillac Winter Promotions went out the beginning of this week to smooth out some areas, but will not be grooming regularly until we get a little more base established. Temps and forecast do look favorable for Winter weather! Reports are generally favorable from Coyote north to Thompsonville. I rode to Mesick Tuesday night and conditions were generally good! We’re glad we’ve got some fresh snow for this upcoming holiday weekend. However, I’m more frustrated about hunters being on the snowmobile trails while grooming, but I understand this is not illegal. This just makes it harder to find volunteer groomers when they get rutted so fast, and it’s a safety hazard for snowmobilers as well. Hoping this will reduce, as regular grooming gets started. – THINK SNOW & RIDE RIGHT! … Pete https://coyotecrossingresort.com/ride-responsibly-trail-report-1-16-2025/ <> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A brief taste of mild weather today will lead to rain mixing into snow ahead of a front that will bring much colder weather to the area starting early Saturday.

Localized totals of 1 to 3 inches of snow are possible by this evening in the typical NW flow snow belts.
