FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/28

WOW!! Thats what i have to say about the snow from yesterday and last night. A good firm six to eight inches of the stuff we have been waiting for all winter. Many sleds out and about yesterday and even I got out with my brother and 2 other friends. We left Frederic last night about six and took the long route up to Starvation Lake where there were I would say 75 sleds in their lot.

Had dinner there and made it back here to Sledheads about 9:30. A fantastic 57 mile ride. Several spots we were the first ones down the freshly groomed trail which was a nice feeling. I have seen a couple sleds this morning so far. I have been plowing since 6:30 and am pretty well caught up on that. I might just have to take another ride today.

Pics below are from the gas station last night as my riding partners were filling up. Sure feels good to have real snow. The Darkside Adventures guys finished their ride up yesteray. If you didnt follow them go to www.darksideadventures.com to read their blog on the incredible ride they just finished up in Quebec where there is incredible snow.

Thanks for checking in. Pete
