Just saw the trail groomer for the first time…not sure why but it made my night…lol…even grabbed a cool screen shot…trail looks great. Happy riding and be safe.
Groomer was on the way to rescue the other stuck groomer just south of 75…..sorry but the trails were garbage all day till we got into Indian River trail system!
But hats off to the groomers and a big thumbs up for them trying to keep up with the insane amount of traffic from the weekend warriors!
Left on sunday, rode 500 plus in 2.5 days. trails were in great shape. Cant wait to get back. Lots of police activity around gaylord, so please obey stop signs!
Switty, do you think the current trail condition will survive the upcoming Sun and Mon warm up with a qtr inch of rain? I’m heading up next week for 4 days Feb 7th-10th. Any local opinion info is really helpful. Thank you.
If we only get the 1/4 inch of rain they might survive and the warm temps are not an all day thing they might survive. But I have a feeling they will be really busy this weekend which may also take a toll. I think they will be rideable, but not great by next weekend.
Well finally we are fully covered and as frozen solid as it gets. Beauty Cam there for real views (zero reading is very kind at present). Somebody turn my cabin heat up a little please.
Fantastic view and I don’t even ride a snowmobile! However, I love to monitor the snow coverage because this is sort of near my closed-for-the-winter cabin. The quality of the picture is great.
Its about 2.8 miles north of downtown Gaylord. After you go through the Parmater road tunnel (shorter of the two tunnels heading to Vanderbilt) it will be about .75 miles on your right. It’s up on a 10 foot high pole. You will see the back side of the thermometer. The trail is fairly open and slightly bending to the right if going north. If you hit Kosiara rd (small stop sign that nobody stops at) you went to far.

PLENTY of snow now! Come on up and ride! If you have not booked your room yet, check out The Waters Inn @ https://www.thewatersinn.com/ Scott is the benefactor that brought the new Trail 7 Cam to life last year!
I hear ya! Makes me want to get my 2 blown up sleds fixed FAST! seeing all that snow makes me JELOUS I Live 20 miles north of port huron mi. We dont see much snow….
I was driving on Parmeter and saw all the EMS people and wondered what happened. Is he ok?

He’s alive and well pretty banged up both arms splinted broken arm and wrist and humerus other side broken elbow and neck in a collar and some ribs cracked
We definitely want people pulling off to the side of the trail. The camera view is a little deceiving. The camera is on a slight bend, so the sleds you see to the right (west) of the trail on the camera, are actually a bit bnb off the trail. The sleds to the left, as long as they are off the groomed area, are off the trail and out of the way.
Just saw the making of the snow angel and best snow dance ever!!….LMAO….glad guys are having fun with the BEST cam in the northern lower….Thanks Switty!!
Son just came off of the trail 1/22 /2 019, 9:00pm. He said it was pretty good traveling as he went from Gaylord to the Straits and back but that almost everything was closed – he also said he was about the only one on the trail.

Hi Rick, I think we will lose some, but we have a strong base, so riding will still be possible and decent.
What are the lights on the tree line behind the temperature gauge? I thought they were northern lights…
That’s Gaylord city lights. Camera faces south
Thank you AftonJay!!
Best way to watch the snow from NC

Please clean the snow off the camera lens

Where was this at ?
About 2.8 miles north of downtown Gaylord.
Was it at the Parmeter tunnel ?
I was only asking because my husband was in an accident Friday just south of the parmeter tunnel and wanted to thank the gentleman helping me
I was driving on Parmeter and saw all the EMS people and wondered what happened. Is he ok?
