Okay….its finally lookin a lot like winter out der! It is 16 degrees and a light snow is in the air this morning. We had lake effect bands all day yesterday where it would snow hard and then the sun would come out. I picked up about 5-6 inches on my deck between yesterday and last night. I know some places had a little more than that. It has been cold here for the last week so the ground is starting to freeze. That should help us in da woods with all the water on the trails also. We are not gonna get the groomers out yet though…just not enough snow and cold yet….plus it looks like it will warm up into the low 30`s this weekend….BUMMER!!!! But at least its lookin better than it was!
Keep checking back, I`ll let ya know when we start rockin!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 3/19/26
29 degrees this morning and cloudy. Here`s what went on with the trails yesterday, and a couple of other things.......
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9. He had a good battle with all the drifting in "Siberia" but made it thru. It turned out good but he is gonna run it again today to clean up.
I ran the South trail #8 and it turned out good also.
Today we are hittin the Point trails #452 & #453 and the Pine Stump trails again.
Now, here`s the couple of other things. We are down one machine still. The mechanic thinks he`s got it figured out and is sending us a part. We will install it and hopefully that does it. If not he can get here tomorrow. In fact, I think he`s coming tomorrow anyhow to run a computer scan on the whole system now that I think about it.
I explained this yesterday in my report and I thought I was pretty clear but I`m still hearing questions so here ya go again.....THE SWAMP SOUTH OF TOWN AND NORTH OF THE RIVER MOUTH IS CLOSED!!!! It is ribboned off cause the gate is buried in snow. THE FALLS TRAIL #45 IS RIDEABLE BUT WE ARE DONE GROOMING IT!!!! If we went in there with a machine we would break it up and it would be unridable. Its gonna be rough but at least you can ride it. Simple as that, it is what it is and we can`t do nuttin about the low lands.
Soooo.......there ya have it.......we`ll keep going until the weather won`t let us or until the end of the month with the other sections of trail.

Well…….Hell…..This is the official "opening day" of sno-mo season and there isn`t a lick of snow on the ground, in fact, the ground isn`t even froze yet. It is only 23 degrees outside though…..thats a plus. Looking at the weather for the next week, it doesn`t look like it will start to snow either. Hate to be a "debbie downer" about this but it is what it is. I guess then I`ll just go into what we`ve been UP to these last few weeks.

All of our trails are ready to go as far as brushing and signing. This just pertains to the high ground that we can get to with trucks and quads. I do want to mention there is A LOT of water on them this year. More than I have seen in the 20 yrs. I have been doing this!! This means its gonna take a lot more time to freeze them in this winter so be patient when the time comes. I will keep ya`ll well informed on here of our progress as we go.

As far as the groomers go…..we have 2 of them ready to go. We are waiting on the factory mechanic to come UP and finish the 3rd one. This one had a final drive assembly gettin ready to let lose. The mechanic found this problem when he was here last spring doing warranty work. He said it might have lasted another month, so he tore it apart then, instead of out on the trail this winter and its very complicated with a dozen gears and bearings and bushings and the like, thats why we didn`t dare to tackle it. He`s supposed to be back sometime in the next week or two. This damn virus has him set back quite a bit so thats why it isn`t fixed yet.

I guess thats all I have to report for now.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
