Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/19

Saturday morning and a nice snow coming down here in downtown Frederic, I didn’t think we were supposed to get
any snow but so far we have about an inch of new and its still coming down. I doubt if it will add up to much but it certainly
cant hurt.

I have seen a few sleds already this morning but I would still classify the trails at fair to poor but I have definitely seen
way worse than what we have right now.

After the announcement last night of indoor dining being closed till at least Jan 15 I just want to remind you that I think its best if you can pack food for being out on the trail for the day.

Sometimes the gas station here in frederic has a roller grill, and in grayling 7 11 always has hot dogs and burgers, the gas station in waters has great pizza and of course the swamp and frederic inn are open for take out and do have some outside seating.

My girls have the candy bar table stocked up and cold pop here in Sledheads……..

The pic below was 2 guys that rode into here yesterday. Once again for some reason my regular website at sledheadsusa.com doesn’t seem to be working so I am posting this on mySledheads facebook page….. thanks for checking in. Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/18

It’s calm and quiet at 28 degrees here in downtown Frederic, still pretty white out there but I would classify riding as fair but on the other hand we have alot more snow then people do elsewhere. Forcast looks like no new snow till maybe next thursday when temps drop and lake effect snow will kick in and that would be perfect timing for the day after Christmas. Only time and the snow chants will tell. One of my favorite videos I did from years ago with the snow chant is right here mo mo nah chee chee nah snow chant

Hopefully we will still hold some of this thru next week……Sled traffic was very light around town yesterday and I would think it will be light this weekend but then there are always those that just have to get out there and thats good for carbide and slide business. Pics below are from out my front door this morning, Thanks for checking in. Pete
