Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/02
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/02 Day 2 of the new season. Well things stayed pretty firm yesterday. There were 7 sleds over at the swamp last night and I saw a few during the day yesterday plus Chris Jones who parked his trailer out back here and went for a 60 mile ride. Pic of the trail below is from him on his ride and the note he sent me on the condtitions. Well made it back to the truck at Slehheads. I got 60 miles in today, went out and screwed around a little bit and went up to Starvation Lake to Hideaway got a bite to eat and then came back. Are the trails the best? no, are they rideable? yes Attached is a pic of General condition of the trails pretty much everywhere. Yes there was worse areas and yes there was better areas, but far more better than worse. I know everyone is itching to get out there but I think its gonna be a while yet. Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Its a cloudy 44 degrees out with lots of mud everywhere. Snow has been on meltdown mode and there is still ice and mush around but I think it really is done now. If we do manage to get a storm it will only be good for the first few on it. I was out by Bear Lake yesterday and took a pic of the groomer setting there in the mud. Other pics are just outside of Sledheads here. Thank you to everyone that stopped by here this winter. That was round 29 so next season will be 30 winters with many of them only so so winters. Still fun, just some times more fun than others. Thanks for checking in.

A major winter storm is likely to impact the state Sunday into Monday. Yes, this does include the potential for 12”+ of snow for some areas and heavy icing for others. That said, there is still high uncertainty in specific snowfall/icing amounts and the location of where these highest amounts may end up since we’re still several days away. Significant changes in forecast impacts for specific locations are still possible at this time range. Because of this, caution should be used when looking at detailed forecast amounts several days in advance. We are monitoring this upcoming storm closely and will be providing forecast updates as confidence in impacts across the area increases. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyNorthern Michigan, we know you’re interested in this weekend’s forecast.
