Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/23
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/23 It’s a nice 18 degrees out this morning in downtown frederic with a fresh 4 inches of lake effect. While I am never to thrilled about that things look very nice out there and its all we have. Temps will be good for riding this weekend and after the brutal minus 15 we had the past few days this is quite welcome. Things are supposed to stay decent with a little snow fall the next week. I only wish we could have got blasted the way downstate did by kzoo. My brother has been plowing for 3 days and I wanted to take my sled down there to ride but didnt want to try those minus temps. Dress warm, wear a back brace and you should be good. Thats the best I can tell you. I am actually getting my plow truck out today and gonna clean up a bit around Sledheads. I havent had it out in a week as I wanted what little snow we had to get packed down. thanks for checking in.

(1/31/2025) FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Its 10:30 on a sunny 27 degree friday morning in downtown Frederic. I got here just after nine and there were about 15 or so sleds lined up at the swamp heading out for a pretty large group ride. Yesterday it was up to 41 and gave us more melting and settling than I would like to see but things have held up pretty well. Not sure what today is going to do. Wednesday things were so perfect and thursday was good too. Next system snow isnt till next wednesday... #gaylord Sunny 27 degrees in downtown Frederic frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> After the warm temperatures and melting snow yesterday...temperatures dropped to below freezing last night.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Finally a real great day of riding yesterday. At least thats what I heard from riders and sadly I wasnt out there myself to tell you first hand. Currently 25 degrees out and supposed to get to 40 today. That actually may help build our base as its supposed to cool back down. I wanted to ride yesterday but I ended up here in Sledheads all day between customers and plowing. Had 5 trucks and trailers parked out back and thats alot for a wednesday. Riders were certainly enjoying the conditions. It would be great to get a full month of February in. Thanks for checking in.
