Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/12
So far so good with about 4to 6 inches of wet heavy snow here in frederic, there was a little less that that in grayling when I left home this morning but still looking good and snow is supposed to continue till ten tonight. Still have seen or heard any sleds and I myself wouldnt ride in this but I know there will be some die hards that will want to try it.
Trail permits have been the popular item this morning and it wont take long for me to run out of them as they only give me 50 at a time. I want to let what snow we do have to get packed down so I have no plans on plowing right yet unless the county comes along and leaves me a big pile like they love to do.
Trailers have been coming in and getting parked at my storage lot and I did have a guy call that wants to come and park out back at my park n ride……So thats about it for now. Its now about 10;30 saturday morning and its 31 degrees so I still feel like this will end up being a slush bowel. Pic below with the snow I just took out the front door of the shop looking towards the swamp and the sleds on the trailer were from last night when Steve from Ohio had just picked up his 2 new ski doo 850s from gaylord. Thanks for checking in.
