Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/23

Not a flake of new snow overnight. There was light sled traffic around Frederic and I had a few in here. One guy told me the best riding they had was north of Gaylord on 7 on up to the Thirsty Sturgeon in Wolverine. There were 3 sleds at the gas station when I got here this morning and a three guys from down by the Ohio line that had unloaded out back here. They said that was there first time in this area. I would say my rating on what we have out there is maybe a hair above poor to fair. There is no grooming yet but 2 riders told me they saw a groomer panning on 76. I forgot to put a shout out yesterday from Jerry in Metamora to Cathy who was at home reading my updates. Weather is still calling for snow each day thru next Thursday, now they just need to come thru with it. Grayling Motels were pretty empty, 3 trailers at Ramada and zero at days in this morn. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/22

Let it Snow!!!! We had about 3 to 4 inches of new fluffy lake effect overnight. Not the kind of snow we want but the good side is the weatherman is calling for lake effect everyday thru next Thursday. So while I wouldn’t say we will get ultimate riding conditions it looks like you will be able to get some riding in. At least what we did have has hardened up to help create the base we need. I went to Gaylord late yesterday afternoon and was surprised that I did see 5 sleds that were out and about including 2 that were stopped right on the railroad tracks at the south end of Otsego Lake. That would be a $300 ticket for just setting where they were at. Riders need to realize where the tracks are and to stay away from them. So lets hope the snow keeps coming and make us all happy. Also I do have vacancy between Christmas and new years at my Wayside Inn Cottage at Lake Margrethe and I have one 10 x 24 indoor storage unit open at my storage facility including a lot of room for outdoor trailer parking with 24 hour access……Lets just hope the snow keeps coming. I was very happy to see that my post from yesterday is really making its way around with a lot of people reading it and making people think twice about the consequences. Thanks for checking in and Please Ride Safely. Pete
