The trails are in fair condition and ready to ride! Flurries are in the forecast, and we could see more snow over the weekend. Stay safe and enjoy the trails!
Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord.
A few things to remember about our groomers and trails:
– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way. – Please move off the trail when groomers are approaching and allow them to safely pass. – If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass. – Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night, so stay alert. – Always ride on the right side of the trail. – Ride safe and ride sober.

It’s a quiet saturday morning here in downtown frederic. No new snow overnight and most everybody is still going west and north. Grayling motels pretty much empty with only 5 trailers at Days Inn and 6 at Ramada. Finally this year OSSA (Ohio State Snowmobile Association) got there annual ride in based out of Gaylord. They have missed the past few years because of the snow. Several of them have stopped in here and they are happy to be riding. Still perfect riding temp out there.Thanks for checking in and Please ride Safely.as I have heard about 7 fatal sled crashes so far this season.
