FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/09

No snow overnight… It’s starting to snow this morning…

Dont get to excited yet. I woke up this morning expecting to look out and see lots of snow. Instead there were still little critter tracks from yesterday morning across my front porch. That translates to no new snow since yesterday. Many schools south of Grayling were closed today.

They are still calling for 3 to 6 inches for later today which will be nice. I did drive my plow truck to Frederic today but so far just some light snow in the air. It sure seems like with the weather reports that are out there that we will finally start building a base but it is still only 32 degrees right now.

Thanks for checking in and keep up the snow chants. Pete

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Groomer operators were checking traffic levels and we had feedback from some drift busters and we will be looking into conditions tomorrow before we pull the trigger on grooming. Conditions are getting more favorable, but the snow isn’t settling fast enough with sleds avoiding the drifts and knocking the air out of them. At 16 thousand pounds, the groomer doesn’t float enough in soft deep snow and we dont have a second machine to self rescue. So bear with us as we constantly monitor and discuss amongst our operators on the earliest optimum time to safely hit the trail. Guaranteed, as soon as we all agree on a green light, you will have a smooth trail! #munising #snowphotos ... See MoreSee Less
