FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/25

More snow fell overnite on friday nite. We have had another 3 or 4 inches of fluffy snow. I have to see this weeekend is going to be the most sleds around Frederic for the whole season. Many riders in all day friday and its off to a good start saturday morning.

I went up to the Keg in waters last nite for fish dinner with Hot to Go and it was packed with sleds and riders in there, back into Frederic both the Swamp and Frederic INn were packed too. Finally a busy weekend in Frederic. How long will it last, you just have to enjoy it while its here.

I did see the gaylord groomer on trail 7 just south of Waters heading north last night. I was cleaning up with the plow this morning down at my storage lot and was surprised at how many trailers have gone out since yesterday, that means those riders are out and about some where.

Good part about that is it gives me a chance to move the snow out of the way before they get back.

Thanks for checking in and Please 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 – 02/24

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/24

It’s been a quiet friday morning here in downtown Frederic. Its 13 degrees out at 11:30 so thats good, been several sleds in this morning and as reported by riders I would say trails are fair to good. Yesterday afternoon was a different story with misty drizzle in the air and riders coming in covered with ice as it formed on them riding on the trails. There was no new snow overnight.

Weather is calling for isolated snow. Its supposed to stay cold with chance of snow during the night. My thoughts are what we have isnt going to increase so we have to ride what we have. I have seen much worse conditions so if you want to get a ride in you just have to go for it. I did see the grayling groomer on m 72 heading west and I figured they were going to start at the parking lot 3 milees west of grayling.

Also if anyone lost a arctic cat bag I have it here at the shop along with a hard cover polaris bag. Someone brought the Archtic cat bag into me yesterday as they found it on the trail. Also still have another small blue bag that someone brought in. Pic below is from last night with the Obama tour stopped in for their fourth trip north for the season.

I went down to the Frederic Inn and met up with them for some Nachos and stories. Thanks for checking in. Pete
