The snow belt west of Gaylord picked up some of the best snow accumulations in Northern Lower Michigan, with 10+ in some spots. Groomers have been out. Pick your spots for fair early season riding. Snow base diminishes to the south of east of Gaylord.

Ray’s Retreat – January 3
 

Good News! We have snow, and Gaylord is grooming! We have between 8 to 11 inches of new snow from the storm Sun/Mon. They did their first run of grooming last night, and we just saw the groomer go by right now.
We had a group of riders just return from a ride to Starvation Lake. They reported a good ride. A few bumps but overall good riding. Jordan River has also been grooming.
Its finally here and everyone is eager to get out and enjoy the snow.
We look forward to seeing you soon. We are located directly on trail 7. Enjoy being able to park your snowmobile outside your room, and being on the trail within a minute after getting on your sled. Give us a call to make your reservation 989-732-2703 or 989-732-4914.

Blue Sky Rentals
First time out this season. Took some of the family on a tour of the Boardman — in Williamsburg, MI.
 

Well, we rode from Peegeo’s towards Kalkaska to about Smith Rd, then headed back and went south to the Ranch. Trails were groomed and not to bad for riding. I would say conditions are fair as most of the trail is a snowy dirt mix. There is a base and the riding was fun. We could use more snow for sure. Not sure how much grooming will be done for now.

Our Shanty Creek location is open and the trails in the Mancelona area are a bit better from reports. We are going to ride tomorrow to get the ‘real’ story’. Time to reserve your winter fun on one of our Brand new 600 liquids today.
