The trails are holding steady in fair condition, with grooming happening day and night. While some areas have thin spots, the flurries in the forecast should help freshen things up soon. Enjoy the ride and stay safe!
Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord.
A few things to remember about groomers:
– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way.
– Please move off the trail when groomers are coming and allow them to safely pass.
– If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass.
– Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night.
– Have fun and stay safe!

Its now wednesday morning about 11 and its still nice and white out. There has been snow fallilng the past several days in Frederic but its not accumulating much. I would guess about 4 inches. They are calling for a clipper on thursday but 39 on friday. Sled traffic is slow around here but it really does look passable. Most riders say the same thing, north and west is better and it gets thin by frederic. Pretty much the same thing every day lately. On the brighter side the one real estate deal that I had going closed yesterday so thats good for me. Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow continues tonight into Sunday as winds shift more northwesterly, shifting focus of snows with time. In addition to the snow, very cold wind chills and air temperatures are expected tonight, particularly in areas away from lake effect snowfall. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday. Gusty winds will lead to blowing and drifting snow, leading to quick drops in visibility – especially across open areas. Wind chills look to stay below zero today into tonight. Cold temperatures may also lead to freezing of wet roads this morning, contributing to potentially hazardous travel conditions for the first half of the weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Friday riders were out but certainly no big crowds, light sled traffic. I see 6 sleds over at the swamp right now and am sure they are there for the breakfast buffet. My gut feeling is its gonna be a slow saturday but conditions are still better than we have seen in years. Had dinner at the Frederic Inn last night and 3 of us had the prime rib and it was great as usual. Left overs for lunch today. Pics below are all from yesterday and last night. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos
Light lake effect overnight, about 1 inch of new fluff

My gut feeling is its gonna be… WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow returns to the Northwoods later this afternoon into Saturday as a cold front swings across the area, ushering in a much colder air mass for the weekend. Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and the eastern U.P. by Saturday morning with additional lake effect snow continuing through Saturday. Below zero wind chills are expected for most areas late tonight through Saturday. Wind gusts of 25-35+ mph will lead to patchy blowing/drifting snow, especially across open areas. Quickly dropping temps tonight may freeze wet roads by Saturday morning. Combination of snow, winds, and temperatures will lead to hazardous travel conditions across parts of the area through Saturday morning. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow returns to the Northwoods later this afternoon into Saturday as a cold front swings across the area, ushering in a much colder air mass for the weekend.

ST. HELEN AREA UPDATE via St. Helen Snowpackers Snowmobile & ORV Club >> **SNOWMOBILE TRAIL UPDATE**
We are in pretty good shape considering it’s mid-December.
Plenty of snow on the trails.
The base is building but, going easy on the throttle will help keep it in place
A little snirty and thin in some areas, mostly corners.
Get out and ride!
