Gaylord Area Trail Report – 02/22
Gaylord Bureau – February 21, 2025 4:05 p.m. We’ve got more great news on grooming! As you may know, both of our groomers are currently out for repairs. Our neighboring communities are lending a hand and several of our trails will be getting some attention. Yesterday the Lewiston groomers did Trail #4 and 404 to the east. The Grayling groomers just took care of Trail #7 from Frederic to Gaylord and back. Indian River groomers will be on Trail #7 tonight from Wolverine to Gaylord and back. Please give a big wave to these groomers if you see them out and about! They are going above and beyond to help our their snowmobiling friends and the Gaylord community. We extend a sincere thank you to them for their efforts! Keep in mind, our other trails are in fair shape but will likely get bumpier. We will keep you updated on the status of our groomers and let you know once grooming resumes. Ride safe and stay tuned for updates! Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord. A few things to remember about our groomers and trails: – Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way. Want to be ready?

Lots of sleds over at the swamp but I havent heard much brapping going on out there. Steady flow of riders thru here this morning and its now about 1:30 and only 24 degrees. Thats good cause predictions were for warmer than that today. Snow settled a little bit yesterday but we still have an awful lot of snow on the ground. I heard of a serious crash yesterday on trail 7 out by 5 mile road south of Grayling. It didnt sound good so Please ride safely and under control. I always say those sleds will kill you in the blink of an eye. Thanks for checking in.

Along with the milder temperatures, there will be numerous chances for a mixture of rain and snow showers.

Pete #gaylord #snowphotos Quiet, Cool and Windy in Frederic frederic-mi.com Here's the latest snow depth map from the National Weather Service as we go into the weekend (February 21, 4:40pm). This is the best snow depth map we have seen in a long, long time. With the slight warmup next we this might be the best snow depth map for the season, so get out and enjoy the snow this weekend! #MIWeather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #SENEY #newberry #Soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #houghtonlake #benzie #traversecity #petoskey Anyone know trail conditions near Lewiston? 2days in Keweenaw and trails were horrible. 3,17 were badly beaten. Ugh A map with no legend is completely useless Dale Stevenson where are you?! Luzerne! This is the best snow depth map I've ever found. It's never steered me wrong. I can absolutely count on it to find the best snow. Diane Johnson Scott David Clark NWS Gaylord is my go-to as a troll 😉

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Its gonna be a nice weekend but a warm up coming after sunday. Its a nice and calm 16 degrees in Frederic this thursday morning. I had a great ride yesterday leaving Sledheads and heading off to the west. Trail 679 was great and all the way to Starvation Lake was great, then on to Alba and the Jordan Valley Trail. Rode the valley trail and it was a little ripply but not horrible. From there to Elmira with a stop to see Larry at Sevenski Inn. Had a great talk with Larry, he is 91 and still running that place. He said he was going to get his loader started to move some more snow. He said he is just glad he can do that at his age. He looks darn good for 91 and it was very nice to have a talk with him... #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com I rode to waters from Mancelona road last night and mancelona road to lakes of the north today and it is terrible. The worst I have ever seen. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Occasional snow showers are expected through the weekend with a steady warming trend. Expect light snow accumulations with high temperatures flirting with the low to mid 30s by the end of the weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOccasional snow showers are expected through the weekend with a steady warming trend.
