Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/05
Last night news said no new snow for 10 days so now I think it’s a countdown to 9 days. They said that the only snow was the half inch was that we did get last night and that was a fluffy lake effect. Not what we want to hear. I drove to Gaylord last night and looked at the mud path also known as trail 7. Didnt look appealing to me. But I did have 5 sleds into the shop this morning from some Ohio guys ready to ride, they have been hear a few days and are still trying to squeeze in some riding. I measured the snow down at my pole barn next to my storage lot. Today was the first time I drove back into it since the first of December and it has been untouched and I measured 7 inches in there so if you could find a spot like that untouched that is what is out there. I have to think we are going to lose alot of that this week yet. So that’s enough doom and gloom, pictures below are of the new Sledheads face masks / neck gators I just got in….. Also stay off the lakes as ice is still thin, 2 sleds went in the past couple days but people were rescued. Thanks for checking in.

A major winter storm is likely to impact the state Sunday into Monday. Yes, this does include the potential for 12”+ of snow for some areas and heavy icing for others. That said, there is still high uncertainty in specific snowfall/icing amounts and the location of where these highest amounts may end up since we’re still several days away. Significant changes in forecast impacts for specific locations are still possible at this time range. Because of this, caution should be used when looking at detailed forecast amounts several days in advance. We are monitoring this upcoming storm closely and will be providing forecast updates as confidence in impacts across the area increases. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyNorthern Michigan, we know you’re interested in this weekend’s forecast.
