Only about an inch of new snow overnight but several sleds out and about already this morning. Yesterday was the best day of this sled season and at least putting me on the board for sales this season as last year I never took in a dime the whole month of February. Lots of riders and decent trails yesterday and am expecting a decent day today on sunday. Snow was very hard a rutty yesterday morning and several riders reporting runninig hot yesterday because no lube getting on the slides. It eased up during the day as the snow softened up. Enjoy what we have out there and please ride safely. Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> It was a very cold and crunchy start to this morning. It was up to 38 again yesterday and it softened things up but then very cold last night and that made everything ruttty and hard. I have had 3 sleds in here this morning that said they were getting hot and thats because they arent getting snow up in there to lube them up.Its now up to 21 degrees so that may help get things lubing again. First thing this morning there 3 guys all on old XLT’s. Havent seen 3 of them together in a long time. We might get a little snow later today according to weather. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com Thats my cousin and and I in the first photo. We ran 140 miles yesterday. First we rode Gaylord to Lovells and back. Trails were a little thin near Lovells. We also ran the loop to Starvation Lake in the evening and the trails were great. We ran another 140 miles today from Gaylord to the bridge to Cheboygan. Trails were getting a little sloppy towards the end but it was an awesome ride!

(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 <> <>
