Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/13

Was I dreaming or was that a really incredible ride that I was out on yesterday.

Snow started falling yesterday morning in Frederic, we had only about 3 to 4 new inches total. My brother showed up here from Kzoo about noon and we headed out on a ride and I couldn’t have dreamed a better ride than what we ended up on.

We left here and then up to Starvation Lake to Mancelona, Alba, Jordan Valley Loop, Elmira to Gaylord and back down to Frederic. Many spots with 8 to 12 inches of fresh snow and one spot with 3 to four foot drifts. The wind and snow was blowing at times in white out conditions. The roughest part of the whole trip was the ripply Jordan valley loop. Not horrible but not super smooth either. They really did get hammered with snow Northwest of here.

A 95 mile ride that I wouldn’t have thought possible yesterday morning.

Lots of sleds out and I was surprised when we got back into Frederic on how many sleds were still at both the Swamp & the Frederic Inn. O.k. so I will shut up about how great it was now and go on to this coming weekend.

Things can change in a hurry here but the forecasts for next weekend are not looking like what we would want. All we can do is hope it turns in our favor.

The sun is out heavy here this morning and that’s not good either. Also after watching the two video clips I did yesterday I see that I move the camera way to fast, heck it made me dizzy watching it. I will have to slow down next time I do that. Do some snow chants this week cause I think we are going to need them. Pictures below are from our ride. Thanks for checking in.

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/12

It’s snowing finally and it looks like the weather man was right for a change.

A system snow was predicted for today and its just starting out. To bads its a little late for the weekend.

I checked trail crossings this morning and it looked like trail 7 at old 27 had groomer marks and also 7 north to Gaylord on the north end of Frederic.

Temp was up to 35 last night which made things squishy. Thank goodness it never hit 44 like they said and it never rained either. I don’t know how much is going to fall but it sure looks good for now. Sled traffic was heavy yesterday all around.

I took some pics of a few cool sleds and the fire picture where it looks like a sled on fire was a guy trying to spin snow on the burnt sled I have out front here.

The blue led lights were on a sled on Tinkers Junction last night. Vintage sleds from Fast Eddies show and race at Houghton Lake yesterday. Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/its-snowing-finally/
