Gaylord Area Trail Report – 03/29
Gaylord Bureau – March 29, 2023 – 8:57 a.m. The Gaylord area trails have icy spots and are back down to dirt in some spots. Keep in mind, snowmobile trails are open through March 31, then closed for the season. As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports. http://www.gaylordmichigan.net/snowmobile-trail-report-114/ <> Fresh snow this morning, imagine my surprise to laying in bed this morning and I heard the county truck go by scraping the road. I got up and looked outside and saw we had a whole fresh 1 inch of new snow. 3 days of the sledding season left but I dont think this 1 inch will put us back on the trails but one can wish. That 4 months went by pretty fast. I have said for years I just wish we would get one season that we actually had 16 weeks of riding instead of maybe 2 or 3 weeks. The pic below I took out my front door this morning. I figure I might as well keep on these updates thru friday to bring you the latest and greatest on this winter…On a brighter note the 3 old guys have crossed the Arctic Circle and are still heading for Alaska on day 23..Thanks for checking in. Pete http://frederic-mi.com/category/trail-conditions/ FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Day 2 of the new season. Well things stayed pretty firm yesterday. There were 7 sleds over at the swamp last night and I saw a few during the day yesterday plus Chris Jones who parked his trailer out back here and went for a 60 mile ride. Pic of the trail below is from him on his ride and the note he sent me on the condtitions... #gaylord frederic-mi.com Thats us seven ohio guys If she ain’t drippin, she ain’t rippin ✊🏼😆 FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Opening Day Update from Pete the Greek: "It sucks!"... #gaylord #grayling See ya in January brother! Sooo WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A more focused band of snow is expected to set up over part of central Lower Michigan tonight. There is some uncertainty in where this snowband will set up, so be sure to stay tuned…particularly if you are traveling overnight or early Saturday morning, as this will be a wet, dense snow compared to what we experienced earlier this week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA more focused band of snow is expected to set up over part of central Lower Michigan tonight.

It also gives us another day of melting in the 40s which is supposed to happen for almost the whole week. Just like I thought when we had the awsome snow that fell earlier in the week. If you dont get out and ride it right then its going to be gone and thats exactly what happened. I am so glad Big John and I got out for a ride during the legal riding time between 11 and 2 during deer season. Now tommorow will be legal riding time but there most likely will be a slushy mud bowl. On the bright side I can get the rest of my signs back up. For those of you that are new to my page I am only open here in the winter and my new hours plan is that if the snow is not rideable if I have something else to do I am out of here. I am not usually to far away and the number of 989 Dig Snow rings to my cell phone. This is my 26th year in here so I have figured the weather patterns pretty well over the years. If there is good snow the sledders come rolling in. If you are heading north to the u.p. just call to make sure I am around. I also have trailer parking down the road at my storage facility if you don’t want to haul your trailer back and forth. Thats about it for now. Do some snow chanting cause we are going to need it. The picture below is what we really want to see. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #grayling frederic-mi.com What's the snow situation? I got a new to me sled and I'm itching to ride it.. ty in advance, and have a blessed day. FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Forty degrees and sunshine... snow from earlier in the week is melting... #gaylord #grayling #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Breezy but mild weather today…as a pattern change begins to unfold. This pattern change will be accompanied by a system tracking through the Ohio Valley Friday into Friday night, which could bring some snow or rain into central Lower Michigan, especially along and south of M-55. A boundary then stalls out over the region Saturday before buckling back north ahead of the next wave Sunday…currently expected to bring another shot at rain and/or snow to the area. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyBreezy but mild weather today…as a pattern change begins to unfold.

Nearly 12 inches of beautiful powder fell in Gaylord, Michigan for all of our snowmobiling friends to enjoy. We can't wait to see you!! #snowmobile #snowmobiling #freshsnow #snow #powder #staywithus #gaylord #snowphotos That will settle to about 6 inches. And it's warming up! Can’t wait Edward Gehringer David J. Washington II Garett Vliem Debby Klute Frederick Jim Frederick wow just Wow Marcus Nelson Just got here to the cabin, which is within eyesight of this hotel. The snow is shrunk down to about 3-4 inches, trails are surprisingly covered even at road crossings. Roads are bare. don’t know that trails will ride well / hold up well considering this is the first snow.
I personally wouldn’t pay for a hotel but if you have a place here poking around for a few miles might be fun. Ryan Harwood Jeremy S. Rau Kevin Harwood
It’s Gooooooo time!!!! Jennifer Abahazi Anne Marie Flynn How did the Snow hold up after the warm up today Justin Reed 🥹 Why is this hotel saying there is only a few inches, and the gas station guy said there's 2-3 inches and they haven't gotten that much? Is anyone actually there and can confirm Taylor Nastally Ron Yoder Eric Anthony That will be toast this weekend. But hell yes bring on more snow and cold temp!! Good start to the season Thursday is going to kill it before the trails even open. Bryant Koback Cody Chic let’s go rip the sleds! If it stays and the idiots stay of the trails that’s a good start to a base.
