Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/20

Sunday morning 10:30 a.m. second day in a row that my sledheadsusa.com page isnt coming up, gotta check on that monday,
temps warmed up and is 34 out right now, snow is getting a bit squishy and trail crossings up by the high school all have a brown strip
right down the middle. Sled traffic was pretty steady all day saturday but we really need more cold and snow. The couple inches we got
yesterday was an unexpected bonus and next snow isnt supposed to come till around thursday. Pic below is from riders this morning.
Thanks for checking in. Pete …

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Additional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas. Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas?

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> From Billy Miller in Gaylord. Absolutely wild how trees bend to the ground under the immense weight of the ice.
Did you know a 30ft diameter tree can weight up to 7,000 extra lbs with that amount of ice on it? Crazy.
More frequent posting angers the Facebook algorithm. We can fight back by having you like or react to this post even if you don't actually "like" the content. (who does in this case, right?) But, it helps Facebook put the information out there in more news feeds. Heart, like, sad, anger reactions all work. Thanks! #miweather #gaylord

Cadillac Area Trail Report – 12/19

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort​ – 12/19

Hello- Snowing steady right now at 10:30 AM! We have gotten about 1/2" thus far today. If we could get 4-6" , trails would get back into decent shape. At this point most Cadillac trails are quite thin and showing dirt/rocks. Mid 30’s temps is about as high as I’ve seen for the coming weeks, so hopefully we get some surprise Lake Effect storm.

The Governor has extended our dine-in ban till mid January, so we will continue to do Carry-out Wed-Sun evenings and will open for the days … once sled trails improve. Outdoor fire-pits, Live Music and winter fun, will be the feature outside in Corral, with Food Service and Drinks. ** Corral hours will vary and be snow dependent! Watch Facebook page regularly for changes and updates. THINK SNOW and Merry Christmas! Pete

CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS –

December 11th, 2020

Well here it is upon us, The First Snow Accumulation of the Season !!! At present. the trails are damp un-frozen sand (it’s soft in spots) but the deer hunters have it packed in pretty good. The storm is forecasted to dump some rain first, which may cause some puddling before it changes to snow. as the temperature drops, and as the “wet” snow accumulates, it may make for some slushy conditions. The temperature is expected to stay well below freezing for the next 10 days. All that being said, the base for this season may well be setting in with all this. The trails will be established by what “WE The Rider” leave behind. It is gonna freeze in for a bit at least, with no above freezing temps in the forecast. If “You The Rider” wish to navigate the trails early, PLEASE Be courteous to the conditions and don’t put it to the bars from a dead stop or use the throttle to see how deep it is. We can’t groom until the trails are packed in with ample snow cover. To the norm, we generally don’t start grooming till mid January. We have been servicing our equipment and the fuel is on the ready! So now the waiting game begins. As a reminder, DNR Requires 4″ to be present for the trails to be open!!! BE SAFE! Stay Right!
Groomer Mike CWP

To better access the forest trails, you’ll want to use one of the Staging Areas below:

33 Rd Staging Area–S of M-55–approx.. 3 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Caberfae Staging Area–approx.. 12 miles west of Cadillac on M-55 (watch for signs)

Boon Staging Area–park in plowed area south of Boon Grocery

Note: The porta-a-johns were removed from our staging areas today as our contracts on them expired 3-15-13.
