Is the snow depth on the stick below the words or above? When snow is at line below 1 foot, is it a foot or after that is covered to line above one foot?
so by that sign im assuming 6″ of snow? the line above where it say 1 foot is 1 foot and above 2 is 2 and so on correct? or is it the line under 2feet is 2 feet?
Wish I was up there now. I live in OH.
I was in Brighton ,Mi after watching the game and headed to her other place in Paradise two days later. There was so much snow up there we couldn’t get up the Lane.
We will be going up in February and hope there is a lot of snow. The trail looks well-groomed and a nice trail with the sunset making it even nicer.
Is there any place to park a small trailer by the web cam and ride? I see there is a little road side park on old 27. Thanks for the camera and info. Paul
Paul…parking at the roadside park I’m not sure you can access the trail without going on private property…camera is only a few miles from Downtown or M28…My suggestion is to start from Downtown Gaylord At Alpine soccer complex on Fairview road…I’m sure you can go for a quick ride without any issues and you can pick up the trail right by the water tank….switty correct me if I am wrong I don’t want to start any issues with trespassing, Thanks Robbie
As far as I know M28 is in the UP M32 runs south of the camera that goes thru Gaylord to Elmira
sled crazy
are we getting any more snowfall ?
switty
Robbie, Paul,
There is parking at Fairview and the trail. It is a trail head right by the water tower. Don’t ride in the open field though at the water tower as that is the soccer fields and you will get ticketed if caught.
Robbie
Joe Lanzon…my bad you are right…lol…I ride too much of the UP and got confused….also thanks Switty for the feedback on parking there….everyone Ride Right and Return!! Safe sledding!

Do you think we are gonna get rained out for this weekend? Can you keep us posted on the next 24 hrs.
There is a lot of snow over here in Alba and Elmira rode Booney roads all day yesterday but better get here fast todsy maybe will be the last till maybe monday and Tuesday they are calling for more snow.
I will take it. Sunny and warm in December? Usually it is so cold you can’t feel your face.. It is what it is. Complaining is not going to help, remember how cold and snowy it was in November with below average temperatures?

Glad I went up when I did b4 the warm up. Me and wife had a good pre Christmas trip. Too bad the reset button has been pushed again for the base on the trails. I thought last year was bad….hope we don’t go down the same path. Thanks switty for the info on the trails condition. Always helps me decide if I should make the 5 hr drive or not.
Will be up the 25th from Pennsylvannia rode that trail for 20 years when I lived their praying the snow stays will be staying at my place in Alba till the weekend after New years looking forward to doing the Jordan valley

What kinda of camera are you using.
Should get 1-2 inches today and 6-8 tonight. That will help the trails.
Yep and LES all off and on next week. I’ll be up for 4 days next weekend!
stupid people park right in the middle of the trail
Some people just don’t think….I shake my head daily …lol
How much snow did you get last night?
About 5 inches.
Is the snow depth on the stick below the words or above? When snow is at line below 1 foot, is it a foot or after that is covered to line above one foot?
Where it says 1 foot is one foot. The line above it is 1 1/2 foot. My kids painted it years ago.
When the first line is covered, it is one foot.
I was looking to make a week long trip here from P.A. any good recommendations on lodging? Thx
Looks like it is snowing
so by that sign im assuming 6″ of snow? the line above where it say 1 foot is 1 foot and above 2 is 2 and so on correct? or is it the line under 2feet is 2 feet?
Correct
The line above the 1 foot is 1 foot. Snow out in the fields is only 6-12 inches with some drifting. Should get some more tomorrow afternoon and night.
Correction, Where it says 1 foot is 1 foot and the line above it is 1 1/2 foot. My kids painted it and I did not remember it what they did.
well looks as if a great weekend coming, YEA

Anyone able to tell me how far north of Gaylord this is?

Doesn’t look good… 🙁 Raining tonight, only supposed to get warmer on Friday.
How the snow thinking about coming up tonight for New Year’s Eve
It says 3 miles north. So, close enough to have a big pizza and then hit the trail.
Good weather coming.
Another Xmas BUST…
Nailed that one! Hopefully it’s only Temporary…what a bummer mother nature can be sometimes!

This guy secretly works for the HyFax industry! I can guarantee there is not “a lot of snow” in Alba or Elmira
Looks good through Saturday. Probably warm Sunday.

Looks like nobody’s on the trail. They all must be hunt’n.
Right………….Since there is no snow on trail and the trails aren’t even open yet.
Trails open officially December 1. It is illegal to ride on the trails prior. Looks like there will be snow for opening day!
