Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/13

Pretty darn good would be an understatement for a first snow. Only had 8 sleds ride in the shop here yesterday but there were plenty buzzing around town all day with everyone reporting decent trails. All the pics below are from yesterday the 12th so judge for yourself.

BigJohn called me about ten last night and he was still out riding, he got in 69 miles so thats a good start to the season. I still do not think this is going to last but the people that are out there now are enjoying it. When I got here there were 2 vehicles stuck in my park n ride lot and they shouldnt have pulled in there till I had a chance to plow but I got it plowed and by the time I was done with the lot there were five more truck and trailers pulling in. I dont mind people parking back there but I do take donations for plowing…….

Also I have a sign on the front door saying mask required and for the most part everybody is great about it but then there are the people that think they dont need to wear one. I turned several away yesterday. The safety of my self and my customers is most important to me instead of making a sale. A couple were pretty rude like FU to me and another one called me pussy…..Really nice to see how the best in people come out……I will continue to turn people away if they think a simple thing like wearing a mask is a little to much…..Thanks for checking in and please ride safely. Pete

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress.
The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall.
Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot.
Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/12

So far so good with about 4to 6 inches of wet heavy snow here in frederic, there was a little less that that in grayling when I left home this morning but still looking good and snow is supposed to continue till ten tonight. Still have seen or heard any sleds and I myself wouldnt ride in this but I know there will be some die hards that will want to try it.

Trail permits have been the popular item this morning and it wont take long for me to run out of them as they only give me 50 at a time. I want to let what snow we do have to get packed down so I have no plans on plowing right yet unless the county comes along and leaves me a big pile like they love to do.

Trailers have been coming in and getting parked at my storage lot and I did have a guy call that wants to come and park out back at my park n ride……So thats about it for now. Its now about 10;30 saturday morning and its 31 degrees so I still feel like this will end up being a slush bowel. Pic below with the snow I just took out the front door of the shop looking towards the swamp and the sleds on the trailer were from last night when Steve from Ohio had just picked up his 2 new ski doo 850s from gaylord. Thanks for checking in.
