Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/03
March 3, 2022
7 degrees this morning under a bright blue sky. We did pick up about 3 inches of snow yesterday. I`m sure all of you that are thinking about coming UP this weekend are watching the weather guessers as close as I am. It kinda looks like everything will be ok till early Sunday morning and then things might get messy. I wouldn`t cancel plans but thats just me.
All our trails are rated at good to very good. We will be grooming all weekend even if it warms UP into the 30`s and rains. Remember, we use drags that work pretty good in the warmer weather.
Things didn`t go as planned yesterday as far as the machine being down. Some of the parts we needed didn`t show up. We tracked them down to Iron Mountain and they said they will deliver them next week. Well, thats not gonna work, so the mechanic took off for Iron Mountain yesterday morning. Its a solid 8 hr. round trip so he will come back and get a good nights rest and jump on it the first thing this morning. We hope to have the machine back on the trail by this afternoon.
OK, there you have it, as promised. It should be decent this weekend, even if it rains a bit. The nights are supposed to cool back down. We`ll keep grooming along!
Ride right, Ride safe and………
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Halfway Lake Cottages, LLC >> When they closed the doctors offices last night because of conditions then we woke to about 6 inches of snow on top of ice, Chris decided to stay home. He spent 5 hours plowing then we went for a ride. We took 9 to Pine Stump and back and it was an amazing ride minus the sleeping child riding with me! We passed the groomer on the way there and on the way back! The picture of our backs is actually from the TASA page! Hey - it’s a family picture! 😂 #newberry #snowphotos
Oh how I miss seeing Tara and Stephen gilsdorf
You may have been one of the few groups I saw today. Pretty sure I saw you on 9 today. My favorite trail in Michigan but it has taken 5 of my helmets peaks this winter. I plan on doing some brushing this summer on 9.
