11:00 a.m.
We had an epic start to snowmobile season – the Gaylord area got hit with over 90 inches of snow to start out winter!
Fresh snow brought lots of smiles to the trails this week! After a busy stretch, conditions are currently fair. Our groomers are putting in the miles to keep things as smooth and rideable as possible. Enjoy the ride, and stay safe out there! Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord.
A few things to remember about groomers:
– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way.
– Please move off the trail when groomers are coming and allow them to safely pass.
– If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass.
– Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night.
– Have fun and stay safe!

Merry Christmas Eve to all. Its about 30 degrees here in Frederic this morning. A few sleds out and about but its going downhill from here. I ended up riding yesterday to Grayling and then one lap around Lake Margrethe for a total of a 40 mile ride. Ran into both Grayling groomers on trail 7 but snow on the trails is still light. The lake lap was perfect with a nice new untouched 5 inches or so on it. I would not encourage anyone to ride a lake unless they are familiar with it and I know lake margrethe very well and was only 20 feet off shore all the way around. The firsherman are saying there is about 5 to 6 inches of ice out there but that will probably change with the predicted warm up. It was a little mistiy when I left home this morning. A couple stopped in that came from Maine to ride. They started down in Leota yesterday and said they had a decent ride. Leota is way south and I would think that its thinner there than it is here but they were happy. They are around for at least another week and going to try different spots. I would love to go to Maine to ride. Years ago the Suttles crew that used to come in here and were road warriors driving up here 5 or 6 times a season to ride here from Demoplis, Alabama. They used to go to Maine every year to ride. Mr Suttles was the king of their group and he brought many people north to ride. We had way better snow way back then. Lets hope Santa has a surprise for us and covers us with snow tonight. Please ride safely. There was a fatal sled accident in Traverse City 2 days ago. Also pic of me laid out in the snow was from our ride yesterday and I slipped and fell on the ice under the snow.
