Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/01

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/01

Yee Hah !!! Its finally here……..The official start of the 2022-23 snowmobile riding season. To bad as to many times in the past that we do not have any snow to speak of. The picture below I took with the camera out the front window of Sledheads this morning. Just a slight amount of snow blowing around. So many times in the past 15 to 20 years we only seem to have about 4 to 5 decent weeks of riding around our area. Just one time I would love to see 16 weeks of riding. This will make my 25th year at Sledheads. Boy time flies when your having fun.

So the wait is on. How long will it be till we get rideable snow. Most of the time in past years snow gets to be more rideable north and west of Frederic and the U.P. definetley had a banner year last season. As in past years I am in no big hurry to be open at the shop until the snow gets here. I am just feeling the way thru how many people are around and there wont be until we have snow. My phone from the shop rings to my cell phone so I am always answering calls. I wish I had more exciting news. Now that the riding season is here I will update every few days or so until we get real snow. I am still laying low at home while recovering from my most recent knee surgery ( its hell getting old)….. We need some heavy duty snow chants going out there. MO MO NAH CHEE CHEE NAH! Thanks for checking in. Pete
