Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/21

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/21

Its the first day of WINTER. We had a light dusting overnight but in both Grayling and Frederic I could still see my foot prints from yesterday. At least its a cold 13 degrees this morninig and the ground has hardened up. I only had 2 sleds come in here yesterday and saw one sled pulling into the swamp about 5:30 when I left. Only 2 trailers at the motels this morning in Grayling and they were both warming up their trucks and heading to the u.p. so I am not expecting to see to much traffic tommorow. Weather forcasts have change a little bit for colder temps the next couple of days so that is good but I dont like the extended for between Christmas and New years. Maybe Santa will surprise us but hey its not any different than the last few years. We have to make the best of what we have or just stay put. Pics below are the 2 guys that rode in yesterday morning and also I am selling my side by with the Boss plow on it. Its a 2006 Polaris 500, 4wd, hydraulic 3 way Boss plow. $8500. Give me a call if you are interested. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A major winter storm will continue to impact northern Michigan, bringing dangerous travel conditions to much of the area. Heavy snow and strong winds gusting to 45-55+ mph are expected to create localized blizzard conditions across open areas at times from mid-morning into early afternoon. Drifting snow may make travel especially difficult on secondary roadways. Power outages will also be possible, especially across areas that experienced icing on Sunday. Be sure to use extreme caution if having to travel across northern Michigan today! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA major winter storm will continue to impact northern Michigan, bringing dangerous travel conditions to much of the area.

Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/21

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 12/21

12/21/24
5 degrees this morning…..YAY!!!!! I got a fresh inch of snow on my deck from last night too….YAY again!!! First day of winter….YAY for the 3rd time!!!!

We are off to a good start as far as snow goes, better than most years. The temps are supposed to behave for the next few days but it looks like a warm up is coming for after Christmas and into the new year. Lets hope it doesn`t get too crazy or maybe even changes.

Groomer Keith did run the Pine Stump trail #8 yesterday and told me it turned out pretty good. He did say there are some bare spots but all in all rated it as good. Thats all we ran yesterday, not sure what the plan is for today.

I`m taking off for down state for a few days to be with family for Christmas so this will be my last report till the 26th.

Merry Christmas to all and LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not get too warm
Groomer Chris

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TROUT LAKE AREA UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Attempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake. Use caution as there is a downed tree on the backside of the lake. We did not have a chainsaw and were unable to move it on our own. Visibility is better and there are a lot of sleds out. The snow is DEEP. If I had to guess I would say we got 20"+ of snow. Be safe. Be prepared and do not ride alone.
Buckhorn, Trout Lake is open and so is the gas station
Special thanks to RAD Rentals! Our family from Florida is enjoying the snow and their lessons in being a Yooper. Check them out for snowmobile and gear rentals!! #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosAttempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake.

TROUT LAKE - EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Welp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in. The wind makes it hard to tell exactly how much snow we have gotten in the last 24hrs but its pretty significant. Roads are NOT passable. Please don't try to go out until the county trucks are able to do a pass or 2. If you are familiar with our area, this pic was taken on Huckleberry road on the South side of the lake. #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosWelp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in.
