Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/15

Not a flake of new snow overnight and there is a misty drizzle in the air. Maybe 1 to 3 coming overnight. I will believe that when I see it.

The only positive thing is the weather is showing snow every day for the next week but most of it lake effect. I would pretty much chalk up this MLK weekend as a junk weekend. If you happen to come up anyways stop by here to make sure I am awake. I can feel a boring weekend coming on.

Today’s pics are of the places that have tents and outdoor seating if you want to go that route. Everyone has take out too. Maybe we will get a winter surprise but don’t hold your breath. So many calls from people that want tor ride but cant. Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday. Gusty winds will lead to blowing and drifting snow, leading to quick drops in visibility – especially across open areas. Wind chills look to stay below zero today into tonight.

TRAVERSE CITY FOOD AND TRAILS UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 01/14

I was hoping to write a good trail report for this week but unfortunately we had 43° and sunshine yesterday. Forecast shows a small front moving through that may dump 2 to 3 inches in our area. Unfortunately what we need is a good heavy snow dump. I would consider the trails currently unrideable. Hang in there it is mid January and things could turn around quickly…

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> The winter weather advisory has come and gone. The trails took a hit this weekend with all the traffic. Luckily, we had a narrow lake effect band set up shop on Sunday and dropped a foot of fluff in some areas on the trail. Elsewhere, we received 2-6 inches. A few club members went out to check the trails on their sleds, and rated the trails as good, with some snirt in areas.
We will be panning this new snow before the warm up this week. Hopefully, this warn up doesn't hurt the base too much.
When your out on the trails and your looking for a place to eat. Check out our business sponsor Fife Lake Inn. Located on beautiful Fife Lake, their your family-friendly go-to spot for casual American dining, cold beverages and good times. Show them your tether and tell them GTASC sent you and receive 10% off your order. #traversecity #snowphotos
