CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 02/06 Volunteers getting it done! Conditions- Good to Very Good Snow last 24 hrs – 1 Base – 1-4” Hello – Busy week for Cadillac Winter Promotions.. Boon tractor went down with rear axle failure early this week. Special thanks to Jim W & Jim T on calling around and getting us a rental machine till ours gets fixed . And thanks to DNR for approving the rental funding .. With these high winds , please be very careful out there and stop and remove where you can lift debris off trail. Reports are coming in with very good comments all the way north of Mesick.. South of Mesick RR grade may get a little thin with these winds , but still smooth. Expecting large crowds this weekend, so RIDE RIGHT and be respectful to others enjoying the trails .. Please don’t “race” in Coyote field , as this is still private property.. Insurance Co frowns on high speeds on our property very much. Big weekend of entertainment in Coyote bar with singer/songwriter, Kendell Marvel both Friday & Saturday nights (cover charge after 830 pm) & Super Bowl Sunday night. Adam Joynt kicks things off on Friday and Nicolas Sake on Saturday at 830. THINK SNOW !
