CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 02/17
Brrrr!!
Trail conditions- Very Good
Snow last 48 hrs – 6-8”
Base – 2-5”
Hello- Very cold temps in low single digits tonight , but it keeps snowing and blowing .. Between grooming and plowing , I seem to be in one machine or the other quite often .. Trying to get a little sled time in as well.
Very busy Presidents weekend ends today .. Trails got a little beat up over the weekend , with HEAVY traffic and also groomer difficulties. We had one of our groomers get stuck badly , and our “loaner “ tractor out of Boon broke down.. But as always , our volunteers got together and pulled out the stuck unit and brought our club owned groomer out of retirement to fill the void. Special thanks to all those guys who spent many hours dealing with these issues.
From all of our local businesses , Thank You to the many sledders who came to the Cadillac area to share their hard earned money with many of us. Traffic on Saturday was reminiscent of 10-20 yrs ago , when snows like this season were a little more frequent. People seemed so happy to have this amazing snow to play in. Seeing many people getting stuck off- trail when moving for groomers , so be wise . Also , way too many vehicles are following GPS and ending up in middle of trails system and halting groomers.. Spread the word to these “flatlanders” to not go on roads if they see orange trail markers..
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Other than some lingering snow showers across the northwest snowbelts… conditions turn quiet tonight with partly cloudy skies and lows around 10 degrees for most locations. Chances of light snow showers do continue this weekend, but the gradual warming of temperatures will be a big relief from the hard winter conditions we've endured. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyOther than some lingering snow showers across the northwest snowbelts… conditions turn quiet tonight with partly cloudy skies and lows around 10 degrees for most locations.

Pete and Coyote Crossing Resort are awesome! These reports are what keeps bringing us back to his establishment.
Too bad his neighbors can’t be bothered to put forth as much effort.
Talking about you Irons….
