how is the snow on the trail??..is it getting to be a hardpack, or have the groomers been out lately, or will they be out sometime during the week??…I’m coming up from Canada on Monday, looking for some decent riding…thanks
Hats off to the Gaylord Groomers this weekend !!…they did an Awesome job keeping up with the thousands of sleds running throught the area….My Family had a great weekend riding, Thanks a million guys!
Robbie…..Really? Me and the wife rode 300+ miles from friday afternoon thru sunday evening and left monday morning. We seen 1 groomer on trail 7 down by trail 4 by frederic sat evening heading south on trail 7. We both thought it was so rough that we wont be taking trips up there anymore around holidays. Instead, it will be midweek week trips. Fri eve was decent down trail 7 to Gaylord and back from Wolverine. Sat afternoon was terrible. Sun morning was ok and then bad sun evening again. I will say that trail 720 up to 9 to Cheboygan was decent for most of the day sunday despite not getting as much snow like the southern counties. Not trying to complain too bad. Still had a good time. We will be back but never again during a holiday weekend. Like I said we only seen 1 groomer in 3 days of riding so that’s why I questioned your comment.
Snow solo….
Kinda sounds as if your complaining just a wee bit….
Well I’m not sure what to tell you bud….I only rode Sat and Sunday with the wife and kidos and seen the Gaylord groomer about 5 times…..trust me bud I put about 3200 miles on a year( mostly in UP) and I wouldn’t lie….if it’s rough it’s rough and I would have stated that right on here with no regrets!
I’m sorry but all I can say is they did a GREAT job keeping up with all the thousands of sleds in the area!..They all put in countless hours while your sleeping to make our sport as best as it could be….just think no grooming and your ass wouldn’t ride at all..how much you want to bet on that one! ….I guess it boils down to what time and where you ride (which direction)…..Hell dude I can’t tell you all of my secrets now can I….lol…Also remember there is NO Centerline and the RIGHT side is MINE! Happy Sledding!
Snow solo….I forget to mention one very important thing…I ride 18 year old iron for my trail sled it’s a 2001 Polaris XC600 SP with an Edge suspension…. LMFAO…so with that being said why would I thank the Groomers if I didn’t mean it….after all of anyone should be complaining about a rough ride it would be ME! Good day Sir!
My wife and I rode north of Gaylord Saturday up to Indian River, and it was a little bumpy on either side of Wolverine, but not too bad. It usually get’s a little rough in that area I’ve noticed. I think the groomers do a great job, and I’ve got no complaints.

Trails sucked from all the traffic
Dan
Sitting here in Miami Fl. I drive over the road,and love watching this feed even tho its 78 and sunny,i would rather be up there riding ☹ looks like a bit of snow fell,i live up in the thumb of Michigan and we have about 8 inches. Thanks for this Awsome live feed
i past the groomer trail 7 at 11:00 am sunday mourning south of wolverine, everyone was doing 50 mph no problem.went back at 3;00 pm and trails were already very rough but still ridable.just saying groomers were doing their job just too much traffic for them to hold up,
We also have a 2005 Polaris XC 500 SP we ride so yeah I know. And yes it was bumpy as hell. Like I said we’ll plan next trip away from a busy holiday weekend. And if you checked out the Polaris Ride App last weekend…….there was a lot of red diamond reviews with people complaining how bumpy it was AND all the water holes. We had a good time. We spend our vacation time and money up there every year. I’m just saying with all the miles and distance we put on we only seen 1 groomer period. Hats off to the Cheboygan groomers. It was great up there. Later bud
Snow solo…. Understood and everyone is entitled to their opinion for sure….and I also posted on Ride Command the conditions…one small water hole by Jo Burg and the others were by Alanson and one going to East Jordan… totally not even worth mentioning quite honestly….can’t expect perfection with the way the season has played out and yes tons of sleds on the Holiday weekend…I surely can respect your opinion and where and when you will ride going forward…I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t feel that same way you did in years past…Seeing the Gaylord Groomers out in the middle of the day obviously shows they were doing their due diligence to make a great ride for the Thousands plus sleds this weekend….Later bud I hope future riding experiences improve for you and your wife….we all LOVE a smooth trail NO denying that!!
Actually you couldn’t be more wrong. There were at least 3 maybe 4 water holes down on trail 47 just N of Grayling before you get to trail 7 and 482. And they were so bad that there were maybe 8-10 sleds in line to cross them and the gals were getting off their sleds to let the guys get on them so we could braaap the sleds across the hole for them. So yes they are worth mentioning. I see Pete from Sledheads posted that he hit a waterhole in Alanson and bent a spindle. So when people post them and where they are it helps to keep riders with less confidence to maybe stay away from that area until it freezes over.
Snow solo….Is that your final answer??…damn dude your exhausting!
Please read original post it was a positive comment intended for Gaylord Groomers ONLY!
It wasn’t meant to be an argument/ combative conversation on who’s right and who’s wrong….damn dude geez -O-petes !
switty
The internet just went down. We will get the camera working again once Charter gets the internet fixed!
Waters Inn is a great, economical place and are the ones who got the new camera working a couple years back. Otherwise, anywhere in Gaylord you can get to the trails!
how much snow is there currently because I have seen the weather and it says that there has been snow most days this week but this doesn’t look like more than 4 inches

Thanks Dan. Glad you like watching. Michigan is a great place to visit for a week in the winter, right?! 🙂

Is the camera located north or south of Gaylord on trail seven?
About 3 miles north of downtown (M32) Gaylord.
Looks like decent conditions I’m considering coming from pa for a week stay any lodging recommendations? Thx
Waters Inn is a great, economical place and are the ones who got the new camera working a couple years back. Otherwise, anywhere in Gaylord you can get to the trails!
Anybody know if they have groomed between Gaylord and Wolverine?
Yep!
Looks like people having fun and breaking down…..
how much snow is there currently because I have seen the weather and it says that there has been snow most days this week but this doesn’t look like more than 4 inches
Plenty around Gaylord to ride. About 12″ base?
Living Large!!!
Is the trail around the west side of airport open to able to get from the Home Depot parking lot around to trail # 7?
Yep!
Let it snow
Looks like it’s snowing pretty good.
It’s great!
