It’s sunny and 30 at about 11 am sunday morning.

Still a lot of white on the trails and sleds out and about this morning but its going to deteriorate today.

Talked to riders who had great rides yesterday including 2 different sets of riders that did Bridge run yesterday too. Still thankfull we had these bonus days that came out of nowhere this week. A group of guys wanted me to send a shout out to Noah in Canada who was sick and couldn’t make it with his group. Bad timing for being sick.

Gaylord groomer was out and at it still yesterday and last night and I have had many compliments on the job they are doing. Out of the blue the Mountain Man showed up yesterday and it just happened to be his birthday too so I met him down at the Frederic Inn for a couple of birthday beers. It was funny how many people came up to us and asked if he was the Mountain man……He is a year older than me at 61. Now for the bad news. There was a fatal accident over near sunset trail which is near Manistee lake. The only thing I know on it so far was that they hit a tree. That is the first death in several years that has been close to Frederic. PLEASE REMEMBER TO RIDE SAFELY. It only takes a second. Somehow this accident from what little I know about it reminds me of one that happened out that same area years ago near Dingmans. A guy was riding with his wife following, he turned around to look back and when he did that he veered off and hit a tree and died. You just never know. Pictures below are a couple from my ride on Friday and a few from yesterday of around here. Some cool old vintage sleds were in. Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/sunny-30/

Groomer Report:

We did groom what we could on Friday evening, it will be touch and go from now on. There are many water holes and bare areas spread all over the trail system. I would say overall our system is in fair condition but just barely, if it gets as warm as predicted Sunday and Monday we will probably be back to poor condition.
There will be areas of good riding on some of the un-plowed forest roads but some of them are hard to get to.

Please DO NOT climb the “Military Hill” from the highway, US 45, to the fence, we have ongoing erosion issues there and the hill climbers are adding to the problem. YOU COULD CAUSE THIS MAJOR TRAIL TO BE CLOSED IF YOU CONTINUE!

Please ride on your own side of the trail and STOP at the stop signs!

Trail #3 North to Rockland is FAIR.
Trail #8 from Ewen to trail #3 North is FAIR.
Trail #3/8 East from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 South intersection is FAIR.
Trail #3/8 West from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 North intersection is FAIR.
Trail #3 South from the railroad grade to the CC road is FAIR.
Trail #8 from the trail #3 South intersection to Trout Creek is FAIR.
Trail #8 from Trout Creek to Kenton is FAIR.
Trail #8 from Kenton to Sidnaw is FAIR.
Trail #8/15 from Sidnaw to the trail #109 intersection is FAIR.

Watch for the groomers, they take up most of the trail and have the right of way!
Please pull over and DIM your lights for them, they have a long night out there.
Remember, you can get off the trail, the groomer can not.

When I report “base” that is the depth of the un-groomed snow on my yard South of Sidnaw. There is no possible way to accurately report what the depth is under your snowmobile on the groomed trail, it varies widely.
Have a fun and safe trip, thank you for riding our trails and visiting our local businesses!
