Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/26
Is this the end or will we get to ride in March. Its a crunchy 27 degrees this morning in downtown Frederic, I only saw four sleds on thursday, there is still alot of white out there and its pretty hard and flat. Pics below I took out the front door of Sledheads this morning. Some riders will most likely venture out but the tough part about it is enough lube for your slides. Its supposed to get a bit warmer so as that melt kicks in it will give you the lube you need. I doubt if it will be very busy this weekend but there are always those that are ready to try anything. I have seen alot worse conditions than what we have now with alot of riders out there. I talked to my friend in Valdez Alaska the other day and asked him how the snow has been this season. He said they havent had very much, only 7 or 7.5 feet…..I laughed and told him we have only had about 7 or 7.5 inches. Sorry that’s the best I can say for now. Also for the first person that happens to come in here this weekend and asks me what the surprise is I will fix them up with it. Thanks for checking in.

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. Pete... #gaylord frederic-mi.com CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via K&R Outfitters, LLC >> First ride of our season yesterday with friends from Ohio! Trails in Wexford County are very good for this early in the season. Heading west though over to Bretheren was brutal. Lesson learned early this year, stay east of M37 and enjoy great trails managed by the folks at Cadillac Winter Warriors! #cadillac #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers continue today, heaviest near and south of Grand Traverse Bay.

Gusty winds will lead to blowing and drifting snow, leading to quick drops in visibility – especially across open areas. Wind chills look to stay below zero today into tonight. Cold temperatures may also lead to freezing of wet roads this morning, contributing to potentially hazardous travel conditions for the first half of the weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday.

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Attention ALL Riders! 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.

Winter is sure off to a strong start! Can’t remember in my 50 years of riding this area, any better mid-December conditions!
Groomers are doing their best to smooth things out before this upcoming warm-up. We’re trying not to be overly aggressive b/c building the base is more important at this time. #cadillac #snowphotos
