The trails are holding steady in fair condition, and grooming is still underway. Some areas may be a bit thin, but there’s still plenty to enjoy. Enjoy the ride and stay safe!

Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord.

A few things to remember about groomers:

– 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 coming 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.
– Have fun and stay safe!

Sledheads of Frederic – 01/17

It’s a sunny 27 degree friday morning. Supposed to be in the 30s today but then cool down. I have seen several sleds out and about this morning. Yesterday there were the most people that have been in here in a while so I think people are going to be coming to ride regardless of the thin snow. Its supposed to cool down alot for about 5 days so maybe we will get some snow along with the cold. For those of you that like to go to Spikes Keg O Nails that is downtown Graylin on the business loop. There is construction going on which keeps you from riding your sled to Spikes to eat. There are a couple of plowed areas at the Crawford County court house that you can park your sled at and walk down Michigan Ave to the business loop and then over to Spikes. I took some pics down there this morning to help you see how to get there. The parking is right next to the sled trail by the RR tracks. Its a short walk to get a yummy Spike Burger. Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon. Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common. That will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow today, especially in places that are more open and exposed. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon.

Grand Marais Area Trail Report – 01/17

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> 01/17

UPDATE: We have been grooming every day and the trails have been holding up pretty good. I just jumped in a groomer to see if we could groom with the current temps. It was not good. It is too warm, so unfortunately we have to hold of until the temps drop and the snow starts to set up. We will update as soon as we get back grooming the trails. Ride safe!!

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> 1-11-26
Around 4 inches of snow last night. I see the groomers all made it out. I would guess the trails should freeze up flat now.
I would imagine it will be lower traffic during the week. It would be a pretty good week to ride if you can sneak away! #newberry #snowphotos

A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.
