FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 1/12
It’s a calm and cloudy 27 degrees in downtown frederic about 1 p.m. on wednesday afternoon. The past 2 days were brutal winds and temps but now it has warmed up a bit, No new snow and not much predicted either so if you want to ride this coming weekend dont expect great condtitions. Had 2 canadians in earlier this morning and they said their riding was all right but not great but happy to be out there. Thats pretty much what this coming weekend will bring…..Its gonna be MLK weekend and maybe we can all have a dream that we will be snowed in by a nice big storm…..Thanks for checking in. Pete

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> The cool thing about this video is when I left to groom 9 Sunday night, we were still praying for the snow to hit, and I was just working on trail repair, before I got back from this 16hr 91.5 mile run, THIS is what I was working with!! 16 hours included cutting two downed 12-14" pines trees completely across and many other smaller and wind blown debris, lots of stops. I left green ribbons hanging in the spots I cut the two pines, worried about what I may have missed under the snow. Just careful. #newberry #snowphotos... See MoreSee Less

EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via Mackinac County Snowmobile Association >> Tuesday December 30 We really got the snow yeaterday. Cut river area seemed to be the winner with claims to 36 inches. St ignace received a foot or more and Trout lake closer to 2ft. With all that snow comes the fun stuff. We did pan what we could last night but had to turn around and could not make it into St ignace do to down trees. We will need a few days to get this storm cleaned up. It is passable to St Ignace by sled but ungroomed until clean up is done. So much snow came at once it will take several passes to get a good hard base again so please be patient with us for a few days while we get things in order. Use extreme caution while riding in our area as there still is branches in the trail. We will update as soon as conditions change. Thank you #soo #straitsarea #newberry #snowphotos...
