Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/12

GOOD MORNING & welcome back WINTER !!!!! Paradise has 180″ of snow for the season so far…we should hit our 200+ inches this year..
its 10:00am and 25 degrees….Everything is white with 2″ + of snow…a welcomed Scene after looking at ugly browns,slush and potholes for 2 days….:)

***Weather for the next 24hrs is bringing daytime temps in the upper 20s for the shore of Lake Superior and teens tonight…with 2 -8″ of snow varying with 8-18/gusts to 25 mph N.W. ‘lake effect’ winds… With our spring time variable weather conditions..its hard to predict more than 24hrs…we will see what mother nature leaves us….:)

Trail Report….we we are down to a ‘really good’ to ‘good’ rating.. …down a notch from excellent…as trails soft and hard to manage… sharp corners are a little icy…with predicted snow we will be back up to a marginal excellent rating….

Hazards….with gusting winds,lake effect, and temps in the teens tonight…drifting will occur in open areas…sharp corners are starting to get icy…please stay on your side of trail and slow down…noticing alot of people cutting off the corners in a ‘big hurry’ i would assume…doesn’t take many to make the trail bad for all of us…mountain machines with paddle tracks can kick alot of snow out of a corner when powering thru the inside of a corner..
Thanks …Have fun…Traffic last night was very low…great mid-week riding available.. …
