Most trails are in good condition at this point, but watch for water in places. We received around 1 – 3 inches of new snow last night. There is a section on the south loop of the Johannesburg trail just south of Old State Road that washed out and is currently taped off. A culvert will be going into this section to eliminate future water issues. Please use caution riding past this area, but it should be fixed quickly.

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic –

Yee Hah, Its snowing. We have had about 3 new inches of snow over night and its still coming. Its a light fluffy snow but it is snow and at this stage of the game lets take what we can. This will be the first busy riding weekend of the season plus the fact its a long weekend thanks to MLK…….

Still reports of many water holes around and they are not to be taken lightly as some of them are huge and deep. Go around if you can.

One more death in the u.p. yesterday which puts the count up to 5 for the season. First two riders in this morning are here for a day trip from Sandusky Ohio, they parked out back in my park n ride and headed out. The Alabama boys were just in and made it up here from Demopolis Alabama. I think its about an 1100 mile drive. I have many trailers in down at my storage lot from Indiana and Ohio but I am pretty sure they will be the only one there from Alabama……

Riders have been pretty generous with their parking donations for my park n ride to my daughter Haleys fund raiser for her study abroad trip to Spain so she says a BIG THANK YOU. She is going to U of M and is a spanish major…….

The outlook goes good for the snow to keep falling. Thanks for checking in. Pete
