It looks like our snowmobile season has come to an early end. There has been little to no snow on the ground for several weeks, with temperatures ranging from 30 – 65 degrees. We hope you’ll come visit us for some warm season fun over the coming months while we wait for next winter to begin!
As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports.
Its friday afternoon in frederic, have had calls wondering how much snow. A whole 1 inch on top of nothing. Funny part about that is there were 3 sleds that felt there was enough snow to ride. I took a pic of them over at the swamp about an hour or so ago. No way would I go out in this. Still 9 days of riding season left but I cant see any thing happening. Supposed to be 50 again this coming week. Wish I had better news. The 3 diehards from today are pictured below. Thanks for checking in. Pete
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon. Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common. That will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow today, especially in places that are more open and exposed. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeySnow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 32 degrees and calm and quiet out there. No new snow and its icy and mostly dry but my lake is emerging in the back parking lot. My nieghbors were just here and they are going to try to ride to the bridge. I told them to send me a picture, we will see how that works out. There is a prediction of 1 to 4 inches for today but I do not think that will help much. I have a piece of property that I keep plowed out and that was all down to dirt this morning. The wait is on again... #gaylord... See MoreSee Less
