Gaylord Area Trail Report – 01/11
Gaylord Bureau –
January 10, 2025
7:00 p.m
Snow has been falling, and it looks like the flurries will stick around through the weekend. The trails are holding steady in fair condition, with grooming set to resume once we get a bit more snow. Enjoy the ride and stay safe!
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!

Friday during the day brought us 1 new inch of a bit of a thick snow. Not a new flake overnight. I checked the 2 hotels in Grayling at the south end this morning and the trailer counts were zero at the Days Inn and 2 at the Ramada. Sled traffic was very slow thru Frederic yesterday but I have seen 6 over at the swamp this morning. Most likely getting breakfast there. They do put out a great breakfast buffet there. So we need more snow and there are predictions for scattered lake effect for most of the upcoming week. I believe next weekend is MLK weekend which is supposed to be a fun weekend of riding. Lets see what happens this week. Eh. Three canadians walked into Sledheads for there annual visit yesterday, they are pictured below in my front room. They could have brought us some canadian snow. They bought a few things and tried to pay me with Looneys eh. Luckily they had 1 credit card between the three of them. Another group of 3 guys pictured on the outside of the shop stopped in. The guy in the middle has the cheapest Dad in the world. About 12 years ago I sold Mr. Cheap my used set of bibs for $15 and to this day he still has them. He would stop in each year to remind me that those bibs are still riding the trails. Its funny how this reminds me of all the characters and people and families that have come thru here in the 28 years or so I have been in here. All with many nick names I have for them. Kids that were little years ago come in with their kids now. I will leave it at that for now so thanks for checking in and if you do get to ride, Please Ride Safely. Pete

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> I never made it on here yesterday but there were a steady stream of sleds and its now a cloudy and calm saturday morning at 24 degrees. Havent seen any sleds yet but have had a few calls. I have had several people that I have met thru the years that I havent seen in a long time. Its great to catch up with people. Steve who has a place in traverse city stopped and I rode with him up around lake leelanau years ago. Several people from pennsylvania and I want to send a shout out to Jim Wilkerson in Pennsylvania. He is another great memory from the past. A group of Indiana riders and one of them said I had inspired him to get his knees fixed after I had mine done. Another family Brian and Diedre who bought a home thru me about 20 years ago and brought their daughters in. One of them was only 2 back then and is now in college. I have seen alot of kids grow up over the years and now those little kids are bringing their own in. Thats the circle of life…….Here are some pics from yesterday and a east and west shot of the trail 7 north of the high school on old 27.Snow is holding good…..Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> HAPPY NEW YEAR - It's been a great day to ride in Frederic, Sled traffic has been steady all day. Riders stopping in for goodies and to say hi. I would say this has been the busiest day of the season with the amount of sleds that have been around. Dinner last nite at the Frederic Inn was great and you can see the five of us showing off our meat. I was in deep in sleep way before midnite. Also a shout out to the Hummell crew from Atlanta Georgia that came in to ride with their brother Francis Hummell who also is a local groomer driver for the Grayling club. #gaylord #snowphotos
