This all sounds great if it was the beginning of the season and we needed snow.  In the woods we have two to three feet plus and in the last 24 hours we had a good 4 inches of sleet.  Which is going to pack down like concrete.  The problem I'm seeing with this forecast is downed trees and the work it will take to get the trails back open.  Old Forge will be on top of it, but it will take time with all the snow on the ground.  Other areas are clubs and it may take them even longer to get things cleared up.  It's also no fun trying to turn around, when the snow is this deep, if you encounter a downed tree.  Not what you want to see on the biggest week of the snowmobile season.  Cross your fingers that it all turns out OK.
