UPDATE: There may be a groomer panning in the Boon area tonight so be on the lookout for him. Also, they will have groomers in the Coyote Crossing/Trail 6 area for driver training tomorrow so be aware particularly in those areas.

Picked up an additional 3 more inches in the last 24 hours and temperatures are a little warmer today–currently 18 degrees. As mentioned previously, we have lots of snow/fluff but not much if any base. We have 10 inches of snow in the Cadillac West area with more in the National Forest west and north. Not certain of snow depths on the southern and eastern portions of the trail system.

Grooming is still on hold.

DECEMBER 12

We have continued to pick up snow since my last posting but it’s still the light powder that is fun for sledding but it isn’t resting on a snow packed base that would make it ideal.

Temperatures have been too cold to give us the packy snow conditions that we need to build a solid trail base. Our groomers are not running yet.

To better access the forest trails, you’ll want to use one of the Staging Areas below:

33 Rd Staging Area–S of M-55–approx.. 3 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Caberfae Staging Area–approx.. 12 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Boon Staging Area–park in plowed area south of Boon Grocery

Note: The porta-a-johns were removed from our staging areas today as our contracts on them expired 3-15-13.
