Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/18

New snow overnight amounted to a whole one inch of new fluffy stuff. There is snow in the air right now and predicitions are for more over the weekend but it didn’t look like a lot. Already had people in here on their way to the U.P. this morning and a couple others that are going to unload and ride around here.

Checked the motels in Grayling this morning and only 2 trailers at Days Inn and 4 at the Ramada, on the other hand there were about 15 hummers at the Ramada too so that means there are a bunch more of them coming. Didn’t see any sleds in town here till just before I left about 5:30 and there were 3 over at the swamp. One of those guys rode over here to see me and his pic is below. In the mean time the other pic is the crowd that was gathered out front here yesterday still waiting for winter to show up.

Conditions are still icy underneath but at least we have a little lube now and hopefully it will keep coming down thru the weekend.

The Darkside Adventures Ride starts in a couple days. Follow the guys on their 2000 mile adventure thru the Canadian Wilderness. They do daily updates and you can track them live too thru their website. Here is a link to their site Darkside Adventures 2019

I checked out my sled yesterday and decided that I could use a new set of slides on it so that is one of my projects for the next couple of days. I could also use a new (to me) used set of skis. My sled is a 2005 turbo 660 arctic cat so if anyone has a set of skis let me know. I wore a hole in them a couple years ago. Thanks for checking in and Please Ride Safely. Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/17

It’s a bright, white, hard, icy & cold morning here in Frederic at 9 degrees and ten a.m. No new snow overnight but there is some predicted for tonight. My thoughts on the coming weekend are about the same as last weekend. People are tired of waiting, its a long MLK weekend and we have a very hard icy base. Suspension lube is an issue so you will have to work for it but if we really get a little the next couple nights that will really help.

The cold is supposed to continue thruout the weekend so we will keep what we do have. It is very icy in front of Sledheads, I was just out spreading salt out there and have my truck sideways across the front to make sure nobody comes flying thru and slides, walk carefully if you are coming in. I am doing my best with the salt out there. Snow chanting is most welcome and because we haven’t had the joy of a real snowfall yet this season

I will once again post a link to my Big Chief Indian Pete video here Frederican Snow Chant I find it hard to believe that video is now ten years old…..PIcs below I took outside this morning. Thanks for checking in. Pete
