Grand Marais Area Trail Report – 03/11
GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> 03/11
Trail report: We got back to grooming Monday night, 3/9, after a few days off with warm weather. The trails held up reasonably well. It’s taking a couple days to get them flattened out. The snow is quite sugary. There is snow in the forecast, so hopefully we can get a good fresh batch to lay down for this weekend.
There are a few thin spots on H58 on the town loop, but we have been moving snow inward to cover those spots. We still have a lot of snow to work with, again its sugary so it is not packing in solid. The forcated snowfall will be welcomed, thats for sure.
As long as temps remain good, we plan on regularly scheduled grooming of all the trails. Enjoy the crazy 8’s, ride right and as always, ride safe..

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Good morning,
Round Two of a stretch of impactful winter weather is set to return tonight through Friday in the form of a quick hitting but strong clipper.
Please view this morning's informational briefing at the link below for additional details regarding snowfall totals, timing, and associated impacts. www.weather.gov/media/mqt/DssPacket.pdf
Additionally, confidence continues to grow regarding a major winter storm for the Upper Great Lakes region Saturday night through Monday, potentially rivaling the most recent December 28-29, 2025 blizzard event. Stay tuned for more details! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Thursday 3-12
The last storm didn’t pan out as they say. We got a few inches of snow
Another warning for tonight we will see
The groomers have been out. The few riders that were out yesterday came all the way from shingleton and said trails were good
With a little fresh snow and the groomers out I believe this will be a good weekend to ride. If the storms pan out to higher amounts things will be really good
Next week looks good as well
If you can get away here’s your last chance for about 9 months #newberry #snowphotos

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 3/12/26
19 degrees this morning under a bright blue sky. Well......the weather guessers got us again. We were under a winter storm warning yesterday. "They" were saying 8" plus. I got about an inch here at my place with a touch of freezing rain....bummer. "They" are saying another big one tomorrow.....we`ll see. At least they are gettin the temps right. It is supposed to stay on the cooler side for the next week or so. Here`s what we got going on for the trails........
After our meeting we decided on going on what the weather lets us do. The warm up into the 50`s really hurt our low land trails. The main news is we are done on the Falls trail #45. It is still open to ride but if we try to groom it we will break it up and it will not be even ridable. Please understand we are rolling about 7 tons down the trail. The swamp section south of town is also done, same thing as the Falls trail, it is still ridable but we don`t want it to break up or even take a chance of sinking a groomer. This being said, here`s what we did yesterday.....
Groomer Dave ran the South trail #8, skipping the swamp of course. He said it turned out good with just a little water on top of the trail on the south end of the power line.
Groomer Glenn ran the Point trails #452 & #453. He said they turned out good and are still solid.
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trail #8 and said there is some water on top of the trail in spots and the base is really thin in spots too but all in all in good shape.....think late season riding on all 3 sections.
There is still plenty of snow in da woods to play around on but the trails took a good hit with the warmer weather. If you`re thinking about coming U.P. for one last ride.....DO IT!!!!!!!! Its winding down fast folks.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Trails End Lodging >> 🌅 Good Morning from Windy Corners!
What a way to start the day! We woke up to a beautiful sunrise and fresh snow on the ground ❄️
Even better… more snow is on the way and the groomers have been out running! 🛷💨
That can only mean one thing… the trails are calling! #newberry #snowphotos
CURTIS AREA UPDATE via Curtis Area Trail Association >> Both groomers were out last night and from Curtis to Newberry turned out good but expect some icy conditions.
This picture is one of the pesky water holes on the pipeline between Curtis to Naubinway, overall the trail is in good condition but except late season riding. We do have a good amount of snow and cold in the forecast for the next week so hopefully we can get the trails back to excellent condition for the last couple of weeks of the season! #curtis #newberry #snowphotosBoth groomers were out last night and from Curtis to Newberry turned out good but expect some icy conditions.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> One last warm and sunny day is expected to start off the work week, with afternoon highs ranging in the 40s and 50s. However, things quickly take a turn as a winter storm heads towards the region. This kicks off an initial batch of light snow late tonight, persisting into Tuesday morning. A brief break Tuesday afternoon will be followed by more light to moderate snow Tuesday evening through Wednesday. Exact amounts remain uncertain, but confidence is increasing in at least a few inches of snow for much of the area by Wednesday evening. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooOne last warm and sunny day is expected to start off the work week, with afternoon highs ranging in the 40s and 50s.
