It’s snowing finally and it looks like the weather man was right for a change.
A system snow was predicted for today and its just starting out. To bads its a little late for the weekend.
I checked trail crossings this morning and it looked like trail 7 at old 27 had groomer marks and also 7 north to Gaylord on the north end of Frederic.
Temp was up to 35 last night which made things squishy. Thank goodness it never hit 44 like they said and it never rained either. I don’t know how much is going to fall but it sure looks good for now. Sled traffic was heavy yesterday all around.
I took some pics of a few cool sleds and the fire picture where it looks like a sled on fire was a guy trying to spin snow on the burnt sled I have out front here.
The blue led lights were on a sled on Tinkers Junction last night. Vintage sleds from Fast Eddies show and race at Houghton Lake yesterday. Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/its-snowing-finally/

I’m really not sure what to say at this point. We still have a good amount of snow and the groomers are out at night, however, the daytime temps are still too warm to groom then. It looks like we’re expected to only have a day or two mid week with normal temps and some snow. Next weekend’s prediction is for temps as high as the 40’s. But as long as the night temps fall below freezing we’ll be able to groom. We’ve had some major traffic this week – I guess everyone that had to postpone their trip from our January warm spell is up now, plus some. From what I’m hearing most people seem to be running the lake so trails 1 south and 13 south seem to be holding up very well…all things considered. Trails 8 west, 8 east, 13 north & 1 north will probably be in rougher shape as they will see the most traffic. Trail 102 should be good. It is what it is – too warm temps, again, and grooming only possible during the night or early morning. For the best ride head out early!
As previously posted, please stay on the trails in Bergland. You are not allowed to ride the highway through town and may be ticketed. You can only access the gas station by following the trail through the park and crossing directly across from the gas station from Antonio’s Restaurant. If riding the roads through Merriweather (down to the Hoop ‘N Holler Tavern or to the lake) please remember to ride at the posted speed limit of 25 mph and stay to the side of the roadway, and, as always be aware that this is a residential area and watch for traffic.
