Baldwin Area Trail Report – 12/01

BALDWIN AREA UPDATE via Trailriders Snowmobile Club​ – 12/01

It’s officially opening day for most of the Michigan snowmobile trail system!

Remember, our west trail (trail 19) from Whiskey Creek to Hart will remain closed until January 1st. If you ride these sections now, you will be ticketed for trespassing on private property!

We did get some snow throughout our system over the last few days. Unfortunately, we only have an inch or two so not enough to get the groomers rolling just yet.

We are however ready to go as soon as we get enough to start panning and flattening out some bumps under the snow. Please continue to do your snow dances!

We will update on this page as soon as we start to roll groomers!

Gaylord Area Trail Report – 12/01

Gaylord Bureau –

December 1, 2024

9:40 a.m.

Snow, baby, snow! We’re having an epic start to snowmobile season and our trails got hit with over 30 inches of snow over the holiday weekend. The rumors are true and it’s still coming down!

Trails are officially open and groomers are running today. Expect lots of fresh snow and watch for drifting. Please be patient while groomers get our trails into excellent condition with all this fresh snow!

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!

As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports.

Sledheads of Frederic – 12/01

Wow! Finally a year with rideable snow on December 1st. Sleds have been riding in all morning, first phone call came at 7:30 this morning and trailers are parked everywhere. I would guess another eight inches of snow over night and trying to keep up plowing is a trick. For those of you that have parked trailers at my storage lot I am not going to take any trailers at this time as I am already tight on room down there. Just check with me ahead of time to see if I can get some room down there. Parking out back behind my shop will be just daily and by donation. I would say we have to be about the 2 foot mark for the snow this week. Still the same story at Lake Margrethe by my house and I havent even dropped my blade yet at home. The snow is all north and west of Frederic. I cant even remember the last time we had snow on December 1. The snow is supposed to keep it up all week so I imagine next weekend will be really busy. Please remember to ride safely. This is the start of my 27th or 28th year in this place. Boy time flies when your having fun. Thanks for checking in. Pete all the pics below are from this morning in downtown Frederic.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Hats off to Mike, Rich and Pete for spending two cold days fixing a minor issue found on the track of the Pisten Bully! These guys have been on the recovery and fix of the blown track and this latest fix this year and we couldn’t do it without them! Hopefully our machine issues are behind us for the year!
Our Milwaukee Tool are a key part of program. From our impacts, grease guns and chainsaws in the cab of our units, these tools make our volunteers lives easier! Hopefully next year we’ll have a building in Alba to get out of the weather. Go check out the go fund me or visit the Antrim County Snowmobile Club and help us make this happen! gofund.me/a9c1cde53
Our groomers were out all weekend making up for the down machine. Thank you to our volunteers for adjusting their schedules! Trails have come back around since we’ve received some fresh snow to mix in with the crusty snow left from the meld down. Looks like we may receive another foot by next weekend which will help build back up the trail. This week will be frigid so we will adjust grooming as needed for snowfall and temps. Make sure you check out Groomer Tracker for all our grooming!
🚧Trail 4 near the Pinney Bridge there was a car in the trail today, please use caution as the trail maybe rutted from the vehicle or recovery effort🚧 #jordanvalley #gaylord #petoskey #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less
