Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/14

FREDERIC – GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 01/14

For the third time this winter I had the big loader come and pile snow up. The good part about that is more room for sled trailer storage. I was surprised to see a little bit of white outside this morning when I got up. We had an awful lot of rain yesterday and it was looking pretty bad out there late yesterday afternoon. Its now about 2 on Wednesday. The good part for this coming weekend is that temps are going to go down to the teens or below the next few days. While it is slick and icy underneath we should keep snow we have and light amounts are predicted for each day this week. So it should make it rideable for this weekend. There is still alot of snow in the woods. I doubt if it will be great riding but we have to deal with what we get and it will be better than the past few days. Pics below are from this morning. Also I have a set of sled wheels new in the box that belong to a friend and he never opened the box before he sold his sled. $250, they were $350 originally. Lets hope for a surprise blast. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/13

FREDERIC – GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 01/13

It’s a misty rainy tuesday morning in downtown Frederic at 35 degrees. It made it up to 40 yesterday. The temp is supposed to drop starting tommorow with light snow predicted in the next few days. I am going to go out with my plow and push slush around at the storage lot. I did see some sleds out and about yesterday but none on my side of the road.I wish I had better news. Thanks for checking in. Pete
