Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/12

FREDERIC – GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 01/12

It’s a nice calm monday morning with no new snow. I never put an update out on sunday but we had about 5 inches of new snow late saturday night. It was very quiet around Frederic yesterday as the snow came late but for those that got to ride it it made a pleasant surprise. That is including me. We headed out for a ride about 3 and found alot of great snow and rode over to Lovells and around the air to ground and back. I acutually saw the grayling groomer out but he was coming from behind the high school and turning on to 47 trail. Of course trail 7 still had not been touched and it beat me up again. I sure dont know what the deal is on that. We found alot of deep snow out there and while its supposed to be around 32 today and tommorow it should turn colder towards the weekend so I think it will be o.k. Still alot of ice underneath and we did hit plenty of wet water holes last night too. It was about 10 by the time I got back home. All the pics below are from our ride yesterday and the other 2 guys standing by the shop were a couple of canadians (eh) that stopped in. Brian and his Uncle Wayne King stopped by. The cool thing on this pic is Uncle Wayne is 84 years young and still riding his sled. Thanks for stopping by guys. Thanks for checking in. Pete

I always start in Fredric from sledheads, but trails are always terrible until I get to the kalkaska county line. I'm thinking it's time to ride elsewhere.
