Frederic – Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/04

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/04

Saturday morning 10 degrees out, Yesterday was definetly the busiest day of this whole season and I think today will most likely top that. The motels had the most trailers I have seen with 21 trailers total……hopefully this snow will hold thru sunday. The news was predicting minus 60 for Caribou Maine…..That would help us keep our base.

Already four trucks and trailers parked out back this morning. For the light amount of snow we have had riders were very pleased yesterday. Temps are supposed to go up to 20s today. I went down to the Frederic Inn for prime rib last night and Darn, they were sold out already. I will have to try again tonight. Pics below are from riders yesterday and me curled up under my buffalo robe. Thanks for checking in. Pete

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

Lake Gogebic Trail Report – 02/04

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming – 02/03

Trail 1 between Trail 8 and West Shore Resort (West Side of Lake Gogebic) is back open😀 Please use caution due to logging operations. It won’t take much for the land owner to shut us down because of a few bad sledders. So please be very curious in this area to keep this trail open.

ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins >> ❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️
I went for a ride after all the fresh POW piled up on us this weekend, and WOW — these trails are absolutely fantastic right now.
We picked up about a foot of light, fluffy snow over the weekend, and Mother Nature isn’t done yet. Another 6–10 inches is falling today, adding to an already solid base. The cold weather is hanging on, and with steady lake-effect snow expected throughout the week, conditions are shaping up beautifully across the western U.P.
Trails are smooth, well-covered, and riding great — this is the kind of snow we wait all season for. If you’ve been thinking about making a trip, now is the time. The Western U.P. is definitely the place to be right now.
🏁 Riding the Ontonagon & Porkies area? Make it easy on yourself and stay right on the trail at Scott’s Superior Inn & Cabins — warm rooms, sled-friendly parking, and Lake Superior views when you’re done riding. Come ride hard, then relax with us! 🏁 #ontonagon #westernup #snowphotos❄️ Ontonagon / Porcupine Mountains Trail Report ❄️
