Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/12
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/12 Sunday morning same old report. Just a few flakes fell yesterday and light snow in the air this morning. Same trailer count at the 2 hotels in Grayling. Zero at the Days Inn and 3 at the Ramada. There were a fair amount of sleds into Frederic yesterday and the pic below was at the Swamp. Most riders had the same thoughts that it was thinner as you came into Frederic and better to the west and north. Scattered snow thruout the week coming in the predictions so lets see what happens this coming week and maybe we will get a good MLK weekend. Funny how I talked about yesterday people that I have met over the years that were regulars. One guy came in and said he hadnt been in for 20 years since he was a kid. And another old timer Jim that I hadnt seen in years but instantly I recognized him when he walked in. The most and greatest one that came in was my friend Wayne who is a cancer survivor and while when he walked in it took me a second to recognize him it was a great feeling when I did. His sledding days are done but he still has the spirit. Thanks for checking in. Pete <> <> <> Visit Sledheads of Frederic on Facebook >>>> <> FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> A great 17 degree morning in Frederic. been a steady flow of sleds thru this morning but still kind of quiet. Typically super bowl weekend people start heading home which is great for the riders that stay around. 17 degrees is a perfect riding temp. Have had several large groups in this morning which is nice. Still reports of both good trails and rough trails. Not sure that I like the forcast for next week as it says its gonna warm up a little bit. Still many riders have stopped in that haventt been here in years. Good to see old timers. Thanks for checkingin. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos Quiet Saturday mornin and 17 degrees frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 2/7/2026, 330am...

A fantastic trip 675 miles and 29.3 hours on my machine. Yesterday morning we headed out from Curtis to St Ignace where we took the ice bridge to the island andhad lunch there and ride around the island. They are doing alot of work over there including a huge project on the grand hotel. After riding back over to ignace we called for the shuttle to take us to the drop off point in Mackinaw City and it was another 3.5 hour ride home from there.. Dunstin and Ronald headed out last night to go back to Iowa but only made it to Grand Rapids as it was to slick out. It was a bit dirizzly ice so it was slow going getting here. We were at Kings fish market in Moran and ran into to guys that had been following our trip so that was a surprise. Pretty quiet in Frederic this morning and the snow is a bit squishy. Its supposed to cool down for the weekend and right now at 10 a..m on friday its 29 degrees. Been out plowing around the building here and I would say we had about 4 new inches during the week so I timed it just right for not being around here. Thanks for checking in. Pete. #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Arctic cold and snow return to northern Michigan Friday and Saturday. Gusty winds are also likely as the cold air moves in, resulting in areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility. If traveling during this time, be prepared for hazardous conditions in some areas. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyArctic cold and snow return to northern Michigan Friday and Saturday.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Feb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions. Colder Saturday, with a few flurries around again, and then, you guessed it, more snow chances going into early next week…though signals point toward a warming trend during this period as well. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyFeb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions.
