Good Morning….Its Thursday…March 21st, 2013….10:00am and up to a balmy 21f degrees…Snow/storm ..is almost over with in Whitefish Township/Paradise 49768…still a little windy ..Out of the north at 13mph….

***Weather is calming down for the weekend with highs in the 30s and lows in the lower 20s….. still some light lake effect snows over the next 4 days and Partly sunny…and another approx 4′ of new snow…puts us over approx 14′ of new snow over 3 days depending on where you are standing…Lake Effect snows vary mile to mile..

*** Trail Report….Trails are better than excellent A+ ..with no (zero) traffic on my 6 hour groom into the upper Tahquamenon falls…they are all flat,pristine, with new snow …no tracks on the banks or on viewing areas along trails …very clean & pristine….Great weekend to enjoy the trails….not many left with fresh snow on them…

****Hazards..DRIFTS,,,,DRIFTS…. open areas will have drifts ..had calls that trail #8 west /north of Paradise is drifted accross …it drifts within hours of grooming with winds over 10 mph… so be carful,,,have fun ,,keep your speed in control…

OK, the weatherman was right. We got HAMMERED again last night. Its hard to tell how much cause of the wind….lets just say ALOT!!!

Get on the horn and make your reservations for this weekend. It is supposed to get up into the upper 30`s to low 40`s by the end of the weekend so everything is gonna be PERFECT for a last ride. Come on UP, you will miss out if you don`t. I`m goin ridin….are you? Groomer Chris
