Frederic – Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/26
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/26 Sunny 25 degrees sunday at noon in Frederic. Sleds have been out and about all morning and trails looking pretty decent. I went out for a 20 mile ride last night and have to say I was surprised how much snow was out there. Many two tracks we were on had to have almost a foot on them. Sled traffic was heaviest of the season on saturday and everyone having a good time. Now the next question is will this hold and will we get more snow this week. Also I still have 3 different bags here that have been lost off of sleds. If you are missing a bag off your sled give me a call. Have on arctic cat bag and one polaris hard bag and another generic blue bag. Another good nite for prime rib at the Frederic Inn too. Had to wear my snowmobile man bib to keep my shirt clean. Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Friday riders were out but certainly no big crowds, light sled traffic. I see 6 sleds over at the swamp right now and am sure they are there for the breakfast buffet. My gut feeling is its gonna be a slow saturday but conditions are still better than we have seen in years. Had dinner at the Frederic Inn last night and 3 of us had the prime rib and it was great as usual. Left overs for lunch today. Pics below are all from yesterday and last night. Thanks for checking in.

We are in pretty good shape considering it’s mid-December.
Plenty of snow on the trails.
The base is building but, going easy on the throttle will help keep it in place
A little snirty and thin in some areas, mostly corners.
Get out and ride!
Have Fun! Be Safe! Stay Right! -SEN #sthelen #gaylord
