Frederic – Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 03/07

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 03/07

Wet Roads, sunny skies and packy melting snow at 36 degrees. Its now tuesday at noon. Sorry I havent been on here the past few days but as usual conditions have sucked. While the ground is white here in frederic there is really only a couple inches out there. I did however just watch 3 sleds ride into town so at least they are thinking its good enough to ride.

Weather outlook for the week is chance of snow on friday and thats it so I would not expect anything exciting to happen. I havent seen or heard what is happening in the u.p. so I have to catch up on that. Pics below are from out front of sledheads at about noon. On the bright side only about 49 more weeks till the season opens for next season. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Gusty winds combined with powdery lake effect snow will continue to lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through Friday, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected with wind chills well below zero... making matters more problematic if you end up stranded on the road. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyGusty winds combined with powdery lake effect snow will continue to lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through Friday, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around.

Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 03/07

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 03/07

Good evening!

We’re still doing what we can, while we can!

Turbo and Diane were out doing what they could. They ran Kinross west which is 472 and 480 through the Spile Dam turnaround.
Here’s what Diane had to say after their run-

“The trails are in really good shape. Some bare spots of course. You can still ride the sides of the roads for the most part. They used the wing plow along Ploegstra road this morning so people can jump up on there too.”

Definitely looks better than I expected! Diane took a lot of pics and I am sharing them all to give up a good look at the good and bad.

Temps are in the teens every night with maybe a little snow this weekend but we are definitely on the decline now. But still lots of really great sections, as you can see!

Thanks Turbo & Diane!❄️❄️❄️

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/21/26
Good morning! Bryan and his son Logan hit the city trails last night and also 49 down to 7 mile and they turned out great! The little streams behind Kewadin Casino are still flowing (see the video in the comments) even with all of the cold, but our bridges have made a huge difference in there! There is one spot along the Kewadin trail that is soft and we keep filling it in as best we can. Likely a nonissue for the weight of a sled, but worth mentioning.
Thank you Bryan and Logan!!❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0121b #snowphotos
