Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/06

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/06

1/6/25
17 degrees this morning and cloudy. We only picked up about an inch of snow from yesterday and last night. Sure wish that storm thats hittin south would have swung this way! We sure could use the snow!!!! Here`s what went on yesterday for the trails……..

Groomer Mike H. hit the Point trails #452 and #453 and called them fair to good. Still some thin spots here an there and he said a little snirt is kicking up in some corners.

Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trail #8 and called that one good with some thin spots also.

The other groomer was out and about touching up the trails close to town. Not sure who was operating it tho. Will have to get with da boss today and see what his plans are for the Falls trail #45 and the swamp south of town.

All fer now
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 – 01/04

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/04

1/4/25
19 degrees this morning with a stiff NW wind. Heavy LE blowing in and out again, same as yesterday. Its hard to tell how much snow we got last night what with the wind but I`ll call it 6", I`ve got drifts about knee high in my parking lot! On to the trails…….

Just got off the phone with groomer Mike C. that ran the Stump trail #8. He also brought along trainee Dan. Mike called the trail fair to good. There is only about an inch or two of base on most of it so they hit a lot of gravel and rocks but overall not too bad.

Talked to groomer Kevin last night who did the Point trails #452 and #453. He also brought along Ben. He used to groom for us way back when but now re-joined after spending his last 9 winters in a warmer climate. Kevin reported that the trails were in pretty good shape but the ridge along Doe Lake is awful thin as far as snow goes.

I took off down trail #8 south with another rookie Dave. Some of that trail was good while some of it was down right ugly. I was surprised by how much water was on the south end of the power line south of the river mouth. The Federal Forest section had a ton of water on it also so the gates on that section remain closed. We will not run this trail again for a few days to give it a chance to freeze up some. I can only imagine the water and mud problems on the Falls trail #45 and the swamp south of town. We are gonna give it a few more days to freeze before we attempt to run in there.

Soooo…..trail #8 to Pine Stump is good and the Point trails are good with some thin spots but the trails thru wet lands need a bit more time to freeze up.

I was gonna address the logger issue but ya`ll covered it pretty good on our FB page. They are about done anyways. I do want to say I support the loggers, they have to make a living too.

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