Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/17
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/17 Super Icy and hard, no lube, the 40s didnt do us any favors yesterday, it is so hard and icy out there that unless we get any snow riding is pretty much impossible. Even if we do get snow it will be so hard with what is frozen you would be fighting the frozen stuff underneath….Weather is talking maybe system snow on monday…..I will believe that when I see it. I dont know what has happened in the u.p. but maybe I will have some people stop by on their way up there. On my way home yesterday I pulled up to the stop sign by the high school and could see a sled coming down the trail at me and I thought well at least somebody is riding. I waited for him to get up to the corner and then took a pic of him which is below…….also pics below are the same spots that I took yesterday morning, If I just had a zamboni I could smooth out all the ice for the olympic skaters. Thanks for checking in. Pete <> <> Visit Sledheads of Frederic on Facebook >>>> <> FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Its wednesday about 11 a.m. at 25 degrees with a light snow in the air. Just had a group of guys in that rode down from Gaylord and their trail report was not encouraging as they said it was rough. We really havent had any new snow in a week and I am not thrilled with the weather forcast thru next tuesday showing 30s and even a 40 in that time frame. Most all of the snow that we have is well worn now. My supplier is pretty much back ordered on many items that I need. I tried to get 20 different items and all but 4 of them are on back order. Carbides especially have been back ordered since early december. Here we are almost half way thru Feb and we should be in our prime time right now. I wish I had better to tell you. Pic below are riders that come in every year. Thanks for checking in and snow chants may need to be started up again.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> A great 17 degree morning in Frederic. been a steady flow of sleds thru this morning but still kind of quiet. Typically super bowl weekend people start heading home which is great for the riders that stay around. 17 degrees is a perfect riding temp. Have had several large groups in this morning which is nice. Still reports of both good trails and rough trails. Not sure that I like the forcast for next week as it says its gonna warm up a little bit. Still many riders have stopped in that haventt been here in years. Good to see old timers. Thanks for checkingin.
