Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/15

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/15

Its up to 1:45 p.m. on MLK day and for the first time in years there are alot of riders out and about. I remember almost 35 years when Marian that owned the swamp told me that MLK day is like a busy new years weekend. Well that hasnt happened in a long time but its been a steady flow of sleds and people thru here today.

Still reports of both good and bad trails along with off trail of spots of 3 to 4 feet deep. For once all the riders with the 2.5 inch paddles get to try them out on some real snow. Weather forcast is calling for Lake effect for the next 5 days.

I finally got the snow cleared down at my storage lot and that was alot of plowing. Yesterday was also very steady and busy. A big thanks for all that stopped in to see me. Many first timers along with many regulars. I have watched whole families grow up here thru the years. Little kids that are grown now bringing in there kids. I took several pics over at the swsamp lastt night just before dark as there sure were alot of sleds there. Saw the joker from windsor out and about last night along with the Bobsy twins with there matching hats on. Thanks for checking in and lets hope the snow keeps coming. Please remember to ride safely. Pete

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress.
The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall.
Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot.
Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey

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

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/13

Its a great day to ride, we had about 6 to 8 inches of snow overnight in Frederic, we are still in the Blizzard warning till 7 tonight. One guy said we had the Polar Bomb coming to snow.The snow is I think perfect for riding. It 16 degrees out and snow is a great snow, not to wet but not to fluffy. Certainly the best we have seen in a long time.

Trailers were rolling into the motels last night. I have seen several sleds already this morning and I expect it to get busier yet. Ride Safely. Thanks for checking in. Pics below are from The Deke Crew yesterday when they stopped in.

Hey also a big shout out to the Milk Man who gifted me a great dinner for tonight and to Vance who also fed me at Spikes last night. Also just got word that there was a serious crash last night on trail 79 where it meets trail 7.

Another reason to Please Ride Safely. Thanks for checking in. Pete
