Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 03/02
FREDERIC – GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 03/02 Hi, Just got to Frederic about noon thirty, saw 4 sleds right off the bat. Ground or should I say ice is still rock hard and it is now 33 degrees. I would think that once things start melting that if you were here you could still get in a ride. Trail crossings I looked at on the way up here are still pretty white. I looked at the sledview.com camera and it looks bright white with still no snirt and 12 inches showing on his depth guage. The end is getting nearer as everyday this week its above 32 and heading for 50 later on. Had a call from a guy that left his back pack at the trail head parking on 612 and trail 7. If anyone picked it up please let me know. He was parked in the far left hand corner of the lot yesterday. The Darkside Adventures guys have rapped up their trip thru Quebec, Over 2000 miles. Also if anyone has a Polaris Ranger they want to sell let me know as I am looking for one a few years old. Thanks for checking in. Pic below is Heather and Dave from yesterday.

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 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Clouds increase this evening into tonight as lows fall into the teens and low 20s. Breezy winds ease overnight. Watch for slick spots by morning as any snowmelt refreezes on untreated roads and surfaces. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyClouds increase this evening into tonight as lows fall into the teens and low 20s.
