Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/13
It’s hard, icy and slick out there, after the drizzle yesterday things seemed to get harder and slicker. Now it looks like we will be lucky to get some snow on friday and then lake effect for the next few days after that. Will it make it rideable? who know but you can bet it will be slick underneath. It’s still bad enough to bring the death count for this season to 5 now. One in Cheboygan and two more in the u.p. Just remember its almost always speed as the main factor and many times alcohol too. So when you do get to ride this season think of these five people that have already lost their lives this short season. Pics below I took out front this morning, when and you try to walk into most anywhere its probably best to shuffle your feet along on the ice. Thanks for checking in and PLEASE RIDE SAFELY if we ever get rideable snow.

That makes 4 this season, the first 2 were just walking on the ice and went thru and these next 2 were riding. Please be aware of where you are at. We had about 2 inches of new fluffy overnight again. Riders that were in yesterday were having a good time and the snow is holding pretty good. Lets see how this week goes. They are callilng for warmer temps later in the week. Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Friday riders were out but certainly no big crowds, light sled traffic. I see 6 sleds over at the swamp right now and am sure they are there for the breakfast buffet. My gut feeling is its gonna be a slow saturday but conditions are still better than we have seen in years. Had dinner at the Frederic Inn last night and 3 of us had the prime rib and it was great as usual. Left overs for lunch today. Pics below are all from yesterday and last night. Thanks for checking in.

Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and the eastern U.P. by Saturday morning with additional lake effect snow continuing through Saturday. Below zero wind chills are expected for most areas late tonight through Saturday. Wind gusts of 25-35+ mph will lead to patchy blowing/drifting snow, especially across open areas.
