NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump – 03/28
well winter is trying to wind down
You can still do some last minute riding. trails arent bad going towards grand marais/ seney. Paradise hasn’t groomed in a long time so that way isn’t very good.
TASA isnt planning on grooming anymore unless something substantial happens.
low traffic this week so if you want to play some here it is.
its late spring conditions. Theres some good and some really bad. its pretty cold this week again.
i’m ready for warm and sun but i think winter isn’t ready to let go yet!

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA – 03/27
We groomed north to Holland lake Saturday night and back south last night. We did not groom anything else due to low traffic and warm weather. With the traffic over the weekend even though we had fresh snow the trails south are thin, The north trails are reported as good though. We did receive about 12 inches of fresh snow Saturday, It is currently 36 degrees and sunny. At this point unless there is a big change in conditions and traffic we are done grooming for the season.
Remember when you are on the side of any road always ride on the right side!

MACKINAC COUNTY UPDATE via Mackinac County Snowmobile Association >> Monday March 16th
Trail update
Firsts thoughts are what the heck do we do??? Well at the moment we unhooked drag and running the John Deere track tractor just to try and break through. We received somewhere around 3ft so far where it hasn't blowed. There is 6 ft plus drifting in spots. The drifts are gonna get hard to. As much as I would like to say it's awesome out here it just isn't and will take several days to get somewhat of a trail. We are just getting started so there could be more surprises but we are trying!! For the next several days if you are coming up our trails are drifting and there is so much snow that it will take several trips to get smoothed out. We will update when things change.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Terrible out zero visibility today
I highly recommend everyone stays in today
We are closed and will keep everyone posted #newberry #snowphotos
GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Trail update" WE HAVE SNOW!!! Unfortunately we are holding off grooming until the weather dies down and then long enough to get dug out!! I do not know how many inches of snowfall we have had with this current storm, but drifts are from 5 to 10 feet around my house and driveway!
I hope everyone is staying safe and indoors. It took about 35 minutes to dig out far enough for our dog to go out... and right back in!!! I put a shovel in the snow on top of where our generator is...in case power goes out and it don't start I will be able to find it. Stay safe, ride right, and for now, bench race!!!

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Tahquamenon General Store >> 2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours. Definitely closed until further notice. If your needing to be out, but shouldn't be Paradise Rec Sports did post they were Open until 6 pm. Glad someone can accommodate for emergency sake. Wheelhouse Diner is also Open. I'd advice to stay off road so county plow trucks can do their job without risk of someone stuck on highway, which report big truck near Rivermouth stuck on M123 in snow drift. Be safe, be smart. #newberry #snowphotos2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours.

Still trying to keep up with the day job, so fingers crossed the battery backup holds out long enough for us to dig out and get the generator running 😆

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 3/16/26
14 degrees this morning and the blizzard is still going strong! Its been 24 hrs. straight and they are saying another 24 before it lets up. Its crazy out der folks! I`ve got drifts at least 6` high and I`ve got one door open enough to even get outa my house! I`ve lived in da yoop for almost 26 yrs. and can`t remember anything like this. As far as the trails go.....I think its gonna be another day or two before we can get out.....I`m actually thinking not until Wednesday.....but we WILL be out as soon as we can. The trails will probably be a blast right now for all you drift busters but you groomed trail riders will have to wait a couple days till we can get to it. Bout all I got for now. If you do head out for a ride today be mindful of possible blown down trees and crazy drifting and be safe!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 3/15/26
Its Sunday afternoon, 5pm, and a down right blizzard out der. I don`t remember seeing a storm this bad in a long time. Thought I would jump on here real quick cause social media is going crazy thinking we are done grooming. This is far from the truth! We are done on the Falls trail #45 and the swamp on trail #8 just south of town cause that last warm up really put a hurtin on them. The warmer swamp water really started to flow cause of the melt and caused a lot of open spots. We WILL NOT risk swamping a machine! We are gonna wait out this blizzard and get back at it on all the other trails. This may not be until Tuesday or even Wednesday as this is supposed to last until Monday night or early Tuesday morning. We have to dig ourselves out too!!!! Sooooo....please be patient. I will jump on here tomorrow morning and give ya`ll an update.
