Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/18
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/18 Calm and quiet saturday morning in downtown Frederic. Its supposed to warm to upper 30s today, the lake effect from yesterday has settled and if I wouldnt have seen it myself I wouldnt have believed a groomer would be out but I did see the Gaylord groomer at the north end of Frederic on trail 7. Pic is below. WARNING,,,,if you do ride watch out for ice. There is alot of it under the snow and there was a sled accident on trail 7 yesterday where a lady hit a tree and broke her leg due to ice. I have heard of several people falling too so be careful. I went for a short ten mile ride on two tracks yesterday and I give it an o.k. but when I made it to trail 7 heading back into Frederic it was icy and rough. I like the two tracks much better. They are talking about a system snow hitting us after wednesday next week…..Lets see how that pans out. Also r you desktop surfers be sure to follow the Darkside Adventures crew…… Thanks for checking in.

I told the guy I would take some pictures of the trails on my way out and post them. Here is trail7 in front of the Swamp II Bar & Restaurant in Frederic MI and also the trailhead and Trail off 612 in Fredeic... I always start in Fredric from sledheads, but trails are always terrible until I get to the kalkaska county line. I'm thinking it's time to ride elsewhere. Trail 7 from Fredrick to Gaylord is always a mess unless you have a ton of snow to get off of the not groomed trail WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A return to above normal temperatures will start out our work week. Today and tonight will be mainly quiet. A snow-rain mix is expected on Tuesday, with a light slushy accumulation possible in the morning in eastern upper Michigan.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Its a nice calm monday morning with no new snow. I never put an update out on sunday but we had about 5 inches of new snow late saturday night. It was very quiet around Frederic yesterday as the snow came late but for those that got to ride it it made a pleasant surprise. That is including me. We headed out for a ride about 3 and found alot of great snow and rode over to Lovells and around the air to ground and back. I acutually saw the grayling groomer out but he was coming from behind the high school and turning on to 47 trail. Of course trail 7 still had not been touched and it beat me up again. I sure dont know what the deal is on that... #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> After a few light snow showers pass across eastern upper overnight, weather turns pretty mild and quiet this Monday. Mixed rain/snow showers then move across the Great Lakes region this Tuesday and Wednesday followed by very chilly temperatures through the remainder of the work week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAfter a few light snow showers pass across eastern upper overnight, weather turns pretty mild and quiet this Monday.

GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> A little down state riding in Gaylord, Fredrick and Wolverine. Snow started Saturday around 2. We have at least 6-8”. Trails are decent. A little rougher from the melt but more the enough snow to cool a 2” Assault! #gaylord #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon. Some parts in northeast lower and far eastern upper Michigan may break out into partial sunshine this afternoon. However, north-northwest to northwest winds today will remain brisk. Gusts to around 30 mph will be common. That will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow today, especially in places that are more open and exposed. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow will diminish this morning, ending by early afternoon.
