Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/23

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/23

It sure doesn’t look like Feb 23. The ground froze up again overnight but now its just rock hard frozen mud. Snow piles continue to melt down and I would guess the side bys will be out and about this weekend. It seems so strange not having any snow out there. On the bright side I have had a couple of good trips when I am usually here in Sledheads, I think I might have to go on another one just to keep myself entertained. I did wake up this morning thinking about the mountain man hill climb in Valdez Alaska, that happens in the middle of April and it is a great event to attend and watch. Even the snow in the black hills is light this season as thats another place that I like to ride. If you come by and my truck is here stop in and make sure I am awake. Thanks for checking in. Thankfully I had not heard of any snowmobile deaths this season until yesterday where someone went thru the ice up in the u.p. STAY OFF LAKES I have never seen a winter with ice the way it has been. Thanks for checking in. Pete Pic below is out front this friday morning.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Cold temperatures and continued brisk winds tonight will result in bitter cold wind chills of -10°F to -24°F across northern Michigan this morning. Be sure to take the proper precautions if spending time outdoors! Conditions improve this afternoon.
Good chances for snow showers will continue this week. After the cold today, temperatures rebound a bit Wednesday, but that will not last. Cold air starts to return on Thursday, and Friday looks to be perhaps the coldest day of the winter so far. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

Sault Ste. Marie Trail Report – 02/22

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 02/22

2/22 just sharing for more confirmation that trail 8 has deteriorated quickly the past 2 days. These are just west of Brimley at Irish Line. Thanks to one of our awesome supporters for sending these. I’m sure it’s not a surprise, but I know it’s good to have a visual, even if it’s not what you want to see.

2/22-
I don’t have much to say today since we are obviously not out grooming. Turbo said there were a bunch of trailers at Bay Mills, and he saw 10 sleds at The Cozy Inn. Happy to see folks are out enjoying what’s left and supporting the local establishments! If you’re out there, please feel free to comment what you’re seeing. I hope the tips for the forest service road areas were helpful
Cold and a tiny bit of snow tomorrow, but not enough to make any real difference.

I’ll update if there’s anything exciting to share.
Be safe if you’re out riding!

Updating this post with a photo of trail 8 in the Soo from 6 pm tonight. It’s not pretty..

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/20/26
Good evening! Brimley Bill brought the Pisten Bully in to the Soo barn from Raco via trail 8 and groomed along the way. After 6”+ of new snow yesterday, the berms at the road crossings needed to be cleared.
He did a great job and the trail is flat, wide, and beautiful tonight!
The Bully is in for a thaw and an oil change and it’ll be back out to Raco tomorrow night.
Thanks Bill! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0120b #snowphotos
