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.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow tapers this evening, leaving drizzle and freezing drizzle across eastern upper Michigan, which could lead to a glaze of ice. For northern lower, areas of drizzle will transition to a band of rain showers later tonight, perhaps ending as some snow showers / flurries. Calmer but cooler weather ahead the next couple days before the next batch of light wintry precipitation arrives Tuesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow tapers this evening, leaving drizzle and freezing drizzle across eastern upper Michigan, which could lead to a glaze of ice.

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Wake up early and head out on the trails before it warms up and turns mushy! We’ve got 1 more week before this season is a wrap! CADILLAC AREA UPDATE vi Coyote Crossing Resort >> About half of our system is passible for sleds at this time, but many obstacles and dangerous sections remain. Fortunately, the sledding season is wrapping up in this area, since we're nearing the end of March. Not just warm upcoming temps are working against us, but the damage to the trail system from this last storm is more than this volunteer group can handle. #cadillac #snowphotos coyotecrossingresort.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A rain/snow mix will depart later this morning, potentially opening the door for some clearing clouds later this afternoon with highs ranging from the upper 30s across the eastern U.P. to the upper 40s/low 50s for those south of M-72. Another round of rain/snow mix is expected later Saturday into Sunday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA rain/snow mix will depart later this morning, potentially opening the door for some clearing clouds later this afternoon with highs ranging from the upper 30s across the eastern U.P. to the upper 40s/low 50s for those south of M-72.
