Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/17
Well certainly nothing new to report, no new snow overnight, very dead around here and in town yesterday. Only had 2 sleds ride into here yesterday and saw maybe another dozen out and about yesterday. Even only sold one trail permit on saturday. That has to be a record low. I have heard from several people that snow is better at houghton lake and down to harrison and over to cadillac……Not the MLK weekend any of us wanted to see. When and if we ever get snow this is a reminder to you that I have my rental cottage available to rent at Lake Margrethe….. Wayside Inn Cottage
Picture below is one of the two sleds that rode into here yesterday. Thanks for checking in. Pete

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
