Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/10
It’s high noon on a lightly snowing sunday morning in Frederic, just had the first 3 sleds of the day in. They had started out at the far parking lot about 12 miles west of grayling and said snow was thin but that they were still having a decent ride. They said the worst part was right here by Frederic which is understandable with all the reports of better snow north and west. Sled traffic was pretty steady here yesterday until later in the afternoon when the sun was out and the riders just seemed to be elsewhere. Still not a bad start to the season even though I still say riders should have waited a bit longer. I can say that all I want but there the itch is pretty heavy for those that just cant stand it any longer and have to do it no matter what. Even I was tempted to put up the closed sign yesterday morning and go with Mark & Marissa but didn’t…..Now I wish I would have…..Pics below from yesterday including the 3 Greeks that stopped in on one of their annual visits. I should have gave them the Greek flag to hold up, maybe next time. Its supposed to stay cold all week with some good predictions for more snow so maybe we will really get to keep what we have so far. Thanks for checking in. Pete <> Visit Sledheads of Frederic Website >>>> <> UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> One week to go until the trails open…..fat chance of there being any snow , so my best guess is the wait will be on. 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. Pete #gaylord #grayling frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm. This system appears to be more straightforward than the previous one. Be careful and leave extra time for traveling as we are all trying to get used to driving in the snow again. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey #straitsarea #soo #newberryA clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm.
