Trail Reports


Indian River Trail Report – 03/11

Is the curtain closing on an excellent snowmobile season? Only the Shadow knows. This weekend was not snowmobile-friendly and our trails endured some heavy rain. There’s no fresh snow over the base so exposed areas are likely one long sheet of ice. Side roads are icy and road edges are crusty. It’s still piled high out there. But the banks did shrink some with the 40 degree weekend and rain we had. Today we’re already at 36 and might see more light rain. So we won’t be grooming tonight. Tomorrow and Wednesday could be interesting, with snow and temps only in the high 20’s predicted. So even though it’s gray and wet out, we lost an hour sleep, and it’s Monday–don’t let it get you down…It’s all good.

Base: 4 inches

Snowfall Past 24 hours: 0 inches

Last Grooming: 3-7-13, Thursday night

Newberry Trail Report – Halfway Lake Resort – 03/10

Just a quickie- warm weekend with slight drizzle that did not last too long.


Halfway Lake Resort – March 10

Trail access from resort. Took this picture today after our “warm up.”

Coming down our dirt side road this evening it was slushy on top but dirt had not mixed in; quite promising for trail conditions. We expect the base that was over 12″ to have held up nicely.

Josh came in this evening and remarks- the snow is really coming down out there.– When the temps dropped our snow gauge still had 26.5 inches of snow. We will up follow with a trail report after guests ride tomorrow. See pictures on our facebook page!!

Josh and Nicole

We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry and 7 miles S of Pinestump Junction. Between Grand Marais and Paradise.

Thank you for your phone calls.
