FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/28
WOW!! Thats what i have to say about the snow from yesterday and last night. A good firm six to eight inches of the stuff we have been waiting for all winter. Many sleds out and about yesterday and even I got out with my brother and 2 other friends. We left Frederic last night about six and took the long route up to Starvation Lake where there were I would say 75 sleds in their lot.
Had dinner there and made it back here to Sledheads about 9:30. A fantastic 57 mile ride. Several spots we were the first ones down the freshly groomed trail which was a nice feeling. I have seen a couple sleds this morning so far. I have been plowing since 6:30 and am pretty well caught up on that. I might just have to take another ride today.
Pics below are from the gas station last night as my riding partners were filling up. Sure feels good to have real snow. The Darkside Adventures guys finished their ride up yesteray. If you didnt follow them go to www.darksideadventures.com to read their blog on the incredible ride they just finished up in Quebec where there is incredible snow.
Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 1/29/2026, 5am - One last round of dangerous cold again tonight... but hope is on the horizon for those looking for a reprieve from the ice box this weekend (but not so warm the winter fans can't still enjoy it)! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> It was a great start to the day in Frederic on tuesday morning. Wertz Warriors were in town at the Swamp for their annual stop and fund raiser for Special Olympics. Julie put out a great breakfast srpead for all of them as they were all getting to spend another day on the trail heading towards the Winter Special Olympics. They have as many people in support vehicles as they do riders. Always a great site to see. After they left at 9:30 I came back over to Sledheads to get ready to go ride to Lewiston and then 3 guys Scott, Jeff and Pat came in and said they were going to ride to the bridge. So much for Lewiston, Ten minutes later I had my closed sign up and we were on our way to the bridge. Stopped at Breakers in Topinabee for hot chocolate and then up thru Cheboygan to Maknaw City for lunch at the Keyhole and then off to Pellston and Alanson with a pit stop at Josh’s at Spankys. It was getting close to dark so we made our way thru back to Indian River. The guys had rented a motel in INdian River and I left them and back to Frederic. Another nice 170 mile day. Trails are the best they have been in years and they were flat like a table all day. It doesnt happen like that very often and this seems to be the year with no snirt sor far. I like that part too. All pics below are from yesterdays events and ride. It was a good ride with those 3 guys and I am glad they stopped in. They should be back here in Frederic later today as they parked their truck out back. It supposed to be minus 15 degrees tonight so button up. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos
