Sledheads of Frederic

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/09

and so it begins, the first sleds of the new season have rode into Frederic. The honor of the first ones go to Mark & Marissa Lewis from Midland. They parked out in my back parking lot and were going to head off towards starvation lake. Yesterday the only sleds that were in here were on or in trailers and they were heading off to other places. Had a crew in here from Flint and Big Rapids this morning too. So well I still say its early for riding and we need system snow. Good thing is there are some predictions for system snow and a clipper this coming week so maybe we can really keep what we do have. Mark said there were 4 sleds at the gas station when they came into town this morning. I also just received an email from Diane at the Starvation Lake Store and she said they have 16 inches there. Pictures below from this morning and the trucks from yesterday along with the Christmas train that stopped in Grayling yesterday. It was all decorated up and of course Santa was inside to visit with the kids. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/08

Still snowing and blowing in the air here in Frederic, we are up to about 8 inches of lake effect snow. I have heard reports of 16 inches up by Mancelona and lakes of the north and people have told me they saw sleds running up the trail north of waters towards Gaylord. I checked all the trail crossing on the way up to Frederic and just outside of Frederic but still only truck tracks on them. I would imagine it wont be to long and I will see a sled but I still do not recommend riding in what we do have. I just sold my first 4 trail permits to Rich & Lisa who have a place up in Lakes of the North and are on their way there. I certainly do not want to get my plow out yet to move any of this snow as I would like to get it packed down to help us get a decent base going. So that’s in a nut shell for today. Thanks for checking in and if you do ride Please Remember to Ride Safely. Pete
