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

FREDERIC – GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 12/12

No new snow overnight. 25 degrees on a cloudy friday morning in downtown Frederic. Just had a group of guys ride in from down around Dayton OHio. They rode to the bridge yesterday. Picture below is of them outside here at Sledheads this morning. Another clipper supposed to come tonight. So we are set on snow and sled traffic has still been slow still. Lets see how it goes this weekend. Here is a video we made years ago.

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/11

FREDERIC – GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 12/11

It’s 26 and sunny this thursday morning in downtown Frederic. Quiet outside and not alot of riders on wednesday. You couldnt ask for better conditions. I drove up to Gaylord last nite and the sleds I saw on the trail coming at me were riding nice and smooth. Once again we had about another 4 inches of lake effect overnight. We have to be pushing about 4 feet of snow total this season. Havent seen that in a long time. I have not seen a groomer yet this season and I have seen many complaints about 679 but mostly all good reports. I didnt even take any pics yesterday so thats it for today. Thanks for checking in. Pete
