Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/21
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 1/21 Still a waiting game, still working or riding on the four inches we had come down over a week ago. On the bright side they are calling for some snow starting saturday and for a few days which doesnt help us much for this weekend. It was dead around town again on thursday with a few sleds around. The biggest issue with there not being much snow is riders saying they are getting hot sleds as there just isnt enough to cool them. I checked the motel lots this morning and only 1 trailer at Days Inn and 3 at the Ramada but about ten Hummers and trailers there as they always show up this time of year. Most likely next weekend is when all the jeeps show up. This weekend there is a pink ribbon riders group having a ride out Gaylord. Tip up Town is going on down in houghton lake……Wish I had better snow reports for you. Todays pics are from the gas station in Frederic last night and this morning at the parking lot just west of Grayling and then trail 7 north to Gaylord at Hlulbert road on the north end of Frederic. Please ride safely and 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.

We are in pretty good shape considering it’s mid-December.
Plenty of snow on the trails.
The base is building but, going easy on the throttle will help keep it in place
A little snirty and thin in some areas, mostly corners.
Get out and ride!
Have Fun! Be Safe! Stay Right! -SEN #sthelen #gaylord
