Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/28
February 28, 2022
6 degrees this morning under a mostly clear sky. Boy, I didn`t realize its been since last Thursday since my last report. Sorry, time flys when yer bustin yer butt.
I hope everyone had a good time on our trail system last weekend. The traffic was INSANE again. Thats the busiest I`ve seen it when I was grooming Saturday. The trails took a beating and with us only having 2 machines runnin it was a challenge. I started our one machine at 0930 Saturday morning and groomed South and then Groomer Gerald took it to the Falls and then Groomer Glenn took it on the Point trails and then Groomer Dave M. took it south again. It didn`t get shut down until 1600 Sunday afternoon! Whew, thats 30 1/2 hrs. of straight run time!!!! Our other machine was just about as busy.
Talking to all the operators, we are rating the entire system as good to very good with a few rough spots. Now on too the other machine…..
The parts are expected to be here by late tomorrow. We`ll work on it Wednesday and if everything goes to plan we`ll have it back on the trail by Thursday. Oh, and we did find our long lost wheel and tire!
All I have for ya`s today.
Ride right and 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.
