Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/29
It’s a start, we had about 3 inches of new lake effect snow here in frederic overnight, its a nice cold 20 degrees out right now but the sun is way brighter than I would like to see.
The weatherman says to expect another 6 overnight to night.
I had to run to Gaylord last night and I probably saw 30 sleds on the trail along old 27 with about a dozen sleds parked at the Keg in Waters, and I did see a few sleds thru town here yesterday too. People just want to ride and I guess a ride on bad trails is better than no ride at all.
I even checked the motels in Grayling this morning again and the count was way up with 1 trailer at the Days Inn and 2 trailers at the Ramada……Also the forcast has lost the prediction of rain in it too so that may be promising……The pic below I just took out the front door here. I see a sled circled the building this morning already before I got here.
Also the death count is up to two now. Remember to ride safely, it only takes a second to die.
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
