To bad we dont have the problem they have in South Dakota where they have snow but trails dont open till the 15th of December. The best day of riding that I had last year was on November 28 when Big John and I got in a nice 60 mile ride after a nice dumping of snow that morning. Everyone always asks me what I think the season is going to be like and my standard answer is I will tell you in April. I need to get some time in at Sledheads and get the front room ready for the season as I tend to let it get a little messy during the summer when I am not open. I put the winter signage back up last week on a nice 60 degree day. I picked up trail permits this week too but I am not putting one on my sled till we have rideable snow. I did see both Kalkaska and Grayling groomers out doing trail maintenance in the past month or so. Thats about it for now. Thanks for checking in.

GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Snow in Gaylord this morning from my dad, Ken! #snowphotos #gaylord WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A lot of good snowfall totals in the comments of this post.

And then just rain and snow mixes elsewhere in Northern Lower Michigan with negligible accumulations. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey #soo #straitsarea #newberryIf you got snow last night, we'd love for you to tell us how much you got!
