Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/12
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/12 Sunday morning same old report. Just a few flakes fell yesterday and light snow in the air this morning. Same trailer count at the 2 hotels in Grayling. Zero at the Days Inn and 3 at the Ramada. There were a fair amount of sleds into Frederic yesterday and the pic below was at the Swamp. Most riders had the same thoughts that it was thinner as you came into Frederic and better to the west and north. Scattered snow thruout the week coming in the predictions so lets see what happens this coming week and maybe we will get a good MLK weekend. Funny how I talked about yesterday people that I have met over the years that were regulars. One guy came in and said he hadnt been in for 20 years since he was a kid. And another old timer Jim that I hadnt seen in years but instantly I recognized him when he walked in. The most and greatest one that came in was my friend Wayne who is a cancer survivor and while when he walked in it took me a second to recognize him it was a great feeling when I did. His sledding days are done but he still has the spirit. Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Thursday 10 a.m. -- Well we lost more snow yesterday as it got up to 53 degrees, so far this morning only up to 36. Things still look suprisingly white. Saw sleds out and about yesterday and we went to Lovells to the Riverside for lunch. I didnt ride mysled but I drove out there. The pics below were a group of riders from Canton OHio with the flying tigers snowmoblile club. Heck the one guy was riding in shorts. They left their buddy Patrick back in Ohio and they said they were heading to the u.p. today to the Clarke Motel for a run up there. The end is getting close but I still believe you can get a ride in if you want to ride around Frederic. #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Patchy dense fog tonight w/showers & freezing drizzle possible Thursday, mainly interior portions of northeast lower MI.

Still some riders out there, I see one unloading over at the swamp. Pic below is a guy I saw at the gas station yesterday afternoon and he told me he had a great ride from lakes of the north down to frederic, trail 4 to 7 . At least a few riders still holding out for the end. Trail crossings I looked at this morning still pretty nice and white. That ice underneath is saving things but with more warmth coming itwill be going away.Like I have said many times I have seen way worse conditions than this before. Thanks for checking in.

The warmth will help melt and leave some lube for those that are adventureous enough to get a ride in. My sled is buried in the corner right now but I know I could get a good ride in if I was a bit more ambitious. There is so much ice underneath I think thats what is helping keep the snow on top. #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
