Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/12

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/12

1/12/25
28 degrees this morning, cloudy and very windy out of the SE. No new snow in the last 24 hrs but the weather guessers are calling for some for the next few days, lets hope they are right, sure could use it as the guys are saying some spots are still pretty thin for snow…..like this……

Groomer Dave ran the Point trails yesterday and reported it turned out good +. He did not run the Doe Lake rd ridge cause its so thin on snow.

Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trail and said it turned out good but there are some thin spots also. He told me he had alot of trouble with riders following him around and tearing up his fresh groom. This is one reason we don`t believe in the groomer tracker (aka: groomer chaser) thing. These people just wreck it for everyone else!

I am runnin the South trail #8 today and I think I`ll be the only one out, but not 100% sure on that one.

In other than trail news………We have a bunch of trail maps if any of the local businesses need any. Just get ahold of one of us, ya`ll know who we are.

I want to give a HUGE thank-you to Dan and Monica Millikan for all the groomer snacks, pop and the 30 rack. MUCH appreciated!!!!!!!!

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sure could use it
Groomer Chris

TROUT LAKE - EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Welp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in. The wind makes it hard to tell exactly how much snow we have gotten in the last 24hrs but its pretty significant. Roads are NOT passable. Please don't try to go out until the county trucks are able to do a pass or 2. If you are familiar with our area, this pic was taken on Huckleberry road on the South side of the lake. #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosWelp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in.

Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/10

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/10

1/10/25
27 degrees this morning and cloudy. No new snow in the last 24 hrs, sure could use some. The weather guessers are calling for some during the next few days, lets hope they are right. Lots of good news today so lets get rollin…..

Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trail #8 and called it fair to good. He told me the corners are starting to get a little dirty and he`s hittin some rocks here an there, but still good to go.
Groomer Ben ran the Point trails #452 and #453 and called them good. He even ran the ridge on Doe Lake rd. that we have been skipping and said that area is a little thin but ridable.

Me and Groomer Dave (not trainee anymore) ran the south trail #8. The good news is we were able to open the gates in the Federal Forest section! It still has a couple of wet spots in there but not bad. On the south end of the power line there is a section of about 100 yards that is ugly but you can shoot out towards the road and avoid it, just be careful. To answer all the questions I`m gettin about the swamp section. We will get in there next week and check it out. For now you can ride the UNPLOWED section of M-123 from the river mouth to town to get in from the south.
Today, me and Groomer Mike C. are gonna head down trail #45 to the Falls with 2 machines and no drags and see what we got. Wish us luck!

All fer now. I`ll let ya`ll know how the Falls trail looks tomorrow morning.

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