FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 1/23

Saturday it snowed all day, gave us about 4 to 6 inches of new fluffy snow which made things alot better. I think Frederic had a little more snow than in Grayling as I only had about 2 inches at home. Still made the first decent weekend of riding. Lots of people having a good time. We still need some good system snow to help with the base but we have to start somewhere. For those of you that have been on here for years you have heard me talk of the Darkside Adventures ride. Typically they do a ten day ride thru the wilderness of Quebec or elsewhere in Canada. This year they are starting out in New Hampshire and heading up into Maine. You can follow their blog at this link http://darkside-adventures.squarespace.com/new-blog

I was out in New Hampshire for the grass drags in October and from what I saw while I was there they have an incredible trail system thru NH & Maine…….. All pics below are from Saturday. Thanks for checking in. 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 – 01/21

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 1/21

Still a waiting game, still working or riding on the four inches we had come down over a week ago. On the bright side they are calling for some snow starting saturday and for a few days which doesnt help us much for this weekend. It was dead around town again on thursday with a few sleds around. The biggest issue with there not being much snow is riders saying they are getting hot sleds as there just isnt enough to cool them. I checked the motel lots this morning and only 1 trailer at Days Inn and 3 at the Ramada but about ten Hummers and trailers there as they always show up this time of year. Most likely next weekend is when all the jeeps show up. This weekend there is a pink ribbon riders group having a ride out Gaylord. Tip up Town is going on down in houghton lake……Wish I had better snow reports for you. Todays pics are from the gas station in Frederic last night and this morning at the parking lot just west of Grayling and then trail 7 north to Gaylord at Hlulbert road on the north end of Frederic. Please ride safely and Thanks for checking in. Pete
