Newberry Trail Report – Halfway Lake Resort – 01/11

Yesterday we had blizzard conditions followed by brief light rain followed by more snow. We measured 22″ (deeper snow north) of dense snow on the ground this morning. On and off trail people are reporting “awesome” conditions and “the best we’ve seen.” We have heard this from multiple groups heading in all directions. This morning, we are seeing additional accumulating snow and temps will remain cold through the weekend.

We are not making daily updates to the trail report unless there is a change in condition. I will not update trail conditions over the weekend since temps will remain steady and trails are perfect. Trail conditions will change minute by minute, trail by trail, based on the amount of traffic since the trail was last groomed. Groomers are out doing their thing and conditions are favorable for them, as well. I am thankful for all of the dedication these people put into our trail systems. Please remember that due to the length of our trails it takes 12-16 hours to groom one way!

Boy! I really don’t know what to tell you other than it hasn’t stopped snowing. We have had accumulation every day for 5 days and measured two feet on the ground today. Riders have been all smiles, extending stays and reporting awesome conditions on and off trail. There are still come concerns regarding low lying areas to the south, so please follow groomer reports in regards to swamp/south trails.

This is a low traffic period (prior to MLK weekend) and trails are beautiful. Things typically pick up this coming weekend and remain busy until the end of the season. You never know what the future will bring, but my hope is this pattern of beautiful lake effect will continue.

Local clubs (Grand Marais sno trails, Seney, Paradise Area Night Riders and Taqhamamenon Area Snowmobile Assoc) are reporting trail closures, yellow flags or a section of trail that is closed. Please educate yourselves before you ride and ride safely.

Newberry Trail Report – Halfway Lake Resort – 03/01

We had blizzard conditions yesterday with snow and lots of blowing and drifting. We have had 7 inches on our snowboard since Sunday PM. Today, the total depth has settled to 26" with a very hard base underneath. Areas farther north are reporting even more snowfall. Trails were mostly good prior to this new snow, so things will only be better!

Unfortunately, things do not look promising for the snowmobile season after Sunday.

No cottage availability this weekend (Thurs, Fri, Sat).
