Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/18
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> 02/18
Started the tracker a little late Sunday but we’ve had epic conditions the past two days. A little over 300 miles with my 13 year old in the first two days- Love it!! All trails we’ve touched have been excellent (hats off to TASA being down a groomer but still getting it done- just a few bumpy corners and they were out cleaning up 45). Some of the best snow conditions in years- careful as most corners are now blind as the snow banks are so tall- also many signs are buried so not all stops and sharp corners have warnings.

11 degrees this morning and snowing….still. I picked up a solid 4″ here at my place last night. The weather this winter has been outstanding, what a difference from last year, eh? It looks like it will keep up into the forseeable future too!
As far as the trails go…..I`m still gonna use the word EPIC. It plain just don`t get any better! Yesterday was maintenance day so nobody was out but we will hit them full bore today.
I just don`t have anything more to report. The weather is EPIC…..the trails are EPIC….its all good folks…..come on U.P. or you`ll miss out!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MACKINAC COUNTY UPDATE via Mackinac County Snowmobile Association >> Monday March 16th
Trail update
Firsts thoughts are what the heck do we do??? Well at the moment we unhooked drag and running the John Deere track tractor just to try and break through. We received somewhere around 3ft so far where it hasn't blowed. There is 6 ft plus drifting in spots. The drifts are gonna get hard to. As much as I would like to say it's awesome out here it just isn't and will take several days to get somewhat of a trail. We are just getting started so there could be more surprises but we are trying!! For the next several days if you are coming up our trails are drifting and there is so much snow that it will take several trips to get smoothed out. We will update when things change.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Terrible out zero visibility today
I highly recommend everyone stays in today
We are closed and will keep everyone posted #newberry #snowphotos
GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Trail update" WE HAVE SNOW!!! Unfortunately we are holding off grooming until the weather dies down and then long enough to get dug out!! I do not know how many inches of snowfall we have had with this current storm, but drifts are from 5 to 10 feet around my house and driveway!
I hope everyone is staying safe and indoors. It took about 35 minutes to dig out far enough for our dog to go out... and right back in!!! I put a shovel in the snow on top of where our generator is...in case power goes out and it don't start I will be able to find it. Stay safe, ride right, and for now, bench race!!!

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Tahquamenon General Store >> 2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours. Definitely closed until further notice. If your needing to be out, but shouldn't be Paradise Rec Sports did post they were Open until 6 pm. Glad someone can accommodate for emergency sake. Wheelhouse Diner is also Open. I'd advice to stay off road so county plow trucks can do their job without risk of someone stuck on highway, which report big truck near Rivermouth stuck on M123 in snow drift. Be safe, be smart. #newberry #snowphotos2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Trails End Lodging >> Power’s out in Windy Corners… ❄️
Still trying to keep up with the day job, so fingers crossed the battery backup holds out long enough for us to dig out and get the generator running 😆
