Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/29
Still waiting on the snow. We had about a half inch of new lake effect during the day yesterday and only flurries are predicted for the weekend. I forgot to check the motel parking lots this morning but I do not feel like there are many people around. yesterday was pretty slow. Jumping back to my u.p. trip that is the first time I think I have ever made it up there in January. Usually I wait till the snow dies out here and then head up there in march. Trails are still covered with both good spots and bad spots. It’s now about 10;20 and I hear the first sleds of the day pulling up outside. That group was from the Troy Ohio Snowmobile club, oldest sled club in Ohios since 1969. These guys were from the Cleveland area. I wonder how long it will be till we get a surprise snow storm. 2 of todays pics are from a rider that has been riding out of fairview that he sent. Pauls is in Joburg and Ma Deeters is in Luzerne. Snow chants have not been enough this season. For the long weekend of Presidents weekend I still have my rental cottage available so if you are thinking of coming up and need a nice place to stay give me a call. Thanks for checking in.

Still alot to melt off here in Frederic, Piles were huge and so very rock hard its still gonna take them a while to melt down. The good thing about all the snow was that it spread the riders out all thru the state which made for a much safer season. Even with that there were still 12 deaths with only 4 in the lower and the rest in the u.p.
