Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/28

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 01/28

1/28/26

9 degrees this morning and snowing. I picked up 5-6" of fresh snow on my deck from last night and it looks like its supposed to snow for the next couple of days too!!!

Our entire system was groomed yesterday and there`s only one way to describe it……EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, those of you who follow me know I don`t use that word very often, but I ain`t kiddin, it doesn`t get any better than this. The swamp south of town, the Falls trail, ALL of our low land trails are better than I`ve seen in a long time!!!!!

If you don`t have plans on gettin U.P. here…..make `em. It won`t last forever.

Thats all I have to report…..one word…..EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Another quickly-moving Clipper will bring a round of widespread, light snow beginning this evening, followed by lingering lake effect snow across the NW wind snow belts for Tuesday. Totals of an inch or less are expected for most of the UP, but where lake effect snow occurs, up to 2-5in of snow is possible tonight through Tuesday evening. As winds pick up early Tuesday, patchy blowing snow may contribute to reduced visibility in the NW wind snow belts.

Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/25

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 01/25

1/25/26

3 degrees this morning under a partly sunny sky. It was minus 6 when I went to bed last night at 10! No new snow last night but we did pick up 3-4" the night before. Just a quick report to keep ya`ll informed before I head out the door to go grooming myself. Here`s the scoop from yesterdays runs…..

Groomer Keith hit the Stump trails and called them good.

Groomer Patrick did the Falls trail and called that one good too.

Groomer Dave ran the South trail #8 and said the same, even the swamp is good to go!

Here`s a STRONG suggestion to the boondockers. Both Patrick and Dave told me they saw a lot of tracks off trail on the Falls trail and in the swamp. This is a VERY BAD idea as both trails still have a lot of water and soft spots where you could sink up to your arm pits. It is NOT SAFE to ride off trail in there where the trail is not packed in. If you get buried in there we cannot help cause we will not risk getting a groomer stuck!!! It is a very expensive towing bill too if you can find someone to help. Another tip, I am finding it very frustrating with some riders not yielding to the groomers. Its a long day for us to begin with and some riders are not getting to the side when they see us coming or blasting by us from behind. PLEASE just get over and let us by or wait for us to stop and let ya by from behind….PLEASE. Rant done

We plan on runnin the entire system today/tonight.

COME ON UP…..our trails are now in beautiful shape!!!!!!!!!!! A big plus is it looks like this cold will stick around for awhile too!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris
