Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/27

Nothing new really since yesterday, light snow continued to fall most of the day yesterday but didn’t amount to hardly anything and there was no new snow overnight.

It’s currently 29 degrees in Frederic. There were some sleds out and about yesterday but even though everything is nice and white here I would still trails at poor and if I stretch it a bit between good and bad spots I might say fair.

I have definetly seen where we have had worse than this. That being said I would imagine there will be light traffic this weekend.

I checked both Ramada and Days INn this morning and only 1 trailer between the two of them. I talked to Grayling Groomers and he said to many puddles and we need some freezing to get them out there. I didn’t even take pictures this morning as the trails look the same as yesterday so to mix it up todays pics are of the new Klotz candles I got in yesterday. Smells just like Klotz when you burn them. They also sent me a bunch of decals so if you want a free Klotz decal stop in and ask. I just called Patti at the Clarke Motel in Strongs to see if anything happened snow wise up there overnight and the answer was nothing happened. She said they are full with sleds right now and the riding is passable but they are still recovering from their meltdown. Remember too if you know anyone looking to buy a motel in the u.p. I do have the Clarke Motel listed for sale. If you want a cool business and entertainment complex that is the place. Sledders in the winter and Bikers in the summer. I just had a group of sleds ride in that came from Gaylord and they said last night they passed the groomer heading north towards gaylord on the 7 trail. They said it was a good ride back down this morning. Still with the small amount out there that snow will get chewed up fast. Sorry I cant give you a better report. Thanks for checking in.

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/26

New Snow fell overnight, we had 3 to 4 inches of thick heavy snowfall overnight.

Trouble is there is snow in the air right now and its 36 degrees. I even just saw 5 sleds ride by a few minutes ago. This snow once sleds are thru it once will be mush.

We need temps to go way down which they are supposed to start doing and lake effect coming in the next couple of days. It doesn’t matter that I say trails are junk there are always riders that get out there. Even last night the Gaylord groomer ran down trail 7 to Frederic, I don’t know what he was trying to do but it in my opinion it was way to warm for it to be out there.

I took the same three pictures again this morning that I have done the past few days. Sure makes it look nice out there. The Darkside Adventures guys are riding up where there is good snow. They are up northeast of Maine and crossed the St Lawrence Seaway on the ferry this morning. Here is a link to their tracking so you can see where at least someone is having fun riding. Darkside Adventures Tracking Link from there you can see their daily updates under the Frost Bytes Tab. The 3 million mark came up yesterday and as before I had multiple people that sent me pics at the 3 million mark, however Mark Cosens was the first one in at 1:12 p.m. with the first pic of the counter. So he gets the goodies, 4 spikeburgers, sledheads sweatshirt, koozies and key chain. Honorable mention also goes to Monty Wiseman who came in at same time as Mark did, Carl Vanallen, John Kotara all who came in afterwards still at 3 million. I don’t know how or why the counter does that as it did it last time too. That’s why I say first one in gets the goodies. Also had previous winner Chris Rybicki come in at 3000001 Thanks to all who tried. Lets hope the snow keeps coming. I really don’t believe we will get enough to make it a good riding weekend but this is a start. Below I am pasting a note about recreational trespass from the DNR. There was a local property owner that stopped to see me the other day and he is not happy about sleds on his property. It should be the same for everyone, this is the rules from the DNR plus some common sense should be included too otherwise don’t be surprised if you get a ticket.
