Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/06

No time like the present to ride, conditions are much better than they have been but we still need alot of new snow to make it better. Really no new snow from all day friday till saturday morning. There was very little new lake effect as predicted in the area around grayling and frederic however the sleds are here, trailer counts this morning were 27 at the Ramada and 5 at the Days Inn. There were alot of sleds in town here yesterday and things are just getting rolling this morning.

In all the years I have been here the alley is usually full of snow with a big mountain of it for sleds to try to ride over, This season I have been plowing the alley down to the gas station which makes it easy access for sleds to get here. Sure wish I could build that pile up big enough for sleds to ride over. Pics below are from the Ramada this morning and Mohawk John who stopped in yesterday and turned out we were wearing the same shirt…..Fashion statements.

Also my rental cottage still has 3 or 4 available nights for next weekend, president weekend.

Thanks for checking in and please ride safely. Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/05

Finally we had some snow last night I would say 6 to 8 inches, its not a wet heavy snow like was predicted but still a decent amount. I have been plowing all morning and lake effect is predicted for the next week so maybe the season will really get started. I have seen a few sleds already this morning. Yesterday I wrote about the bag I found on the trail outside of Strongs on the way to Brimley, it was on trail 8 and I left it on top of a post. Well the guy that lost it saw my post and contacted me and he was staying at the Clarke hotel too. He went out and looked for it but didnt find it. If you picked it up or know who has it have them contact me so we can get it back to the owner.

Thanks for checking in and keep up the snow chants……Pete
