Sidnaw / Bruce Crossing Trail Report – 02/18

Groomer Report:

We are grooming every day again however there are some icy areas on the trials now and even a few bare spots. Snow is in the forecast!

Our problem area is from the trail #3 south intersection on the grade, trail #8, to the trail #3 north intersection, it is quite thin between these intersections. There are some bare areas around Bruce Crossing.

Please DO NOT climb the “Military Hill” from the highway, US 45, to the fence, we have ongoing erosion issues there and the hill climbers are adding to the problem. YOU COULD CAUSE THIS MAJOR TRAIL TO BE CLOSED IF YOU CONTINUE!

Watch for the groomers, they take up most of the trail and have the right of way!
Please pull over and DIM your lights for them, they have a long night out there.
Remember, you can get off the trail, the groomer can not.

Please ride on your own side of the trail and STOP at the stop signs!

Trail #3 North to Rockland is GOOD, better as you go north.
Trail #8 from Ewen to trail #3 North is FAIR.
Trail #3/8 East from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 South intersection is POOR to FAIR.
Trail #3/8 West from Bruce Crossing to the trail #3 North intersection is POOR to FAIR.
Trail #3 South from the railroad grade to the CC road is GOOD, better in the woods.
Trail #8 from the trail #3 South intersection to Trout Creek is GOOD.
Trail #8 from Trout Creek to Kenton is GOOD.
Trail #8 from Kenton to Sidnaw is GOOD, better as you go east.
Trail #8/15 from Sidnaw to the trail #109 intersection is GOOD.

When I report “base” that is the depth of the un-groomed snow on my yard South of Sidnaw. There is no possible way to accurately report what the depth is under your snowmobile on the groomed trail, it varies widely.

Have a fun and safe trip, thank you for riding our trails and visiting our local businesses!

Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/18

February 18, 2018

27 degrees this morning and sunny. No new snow last night. Here`s what went on yesterday……

The traffic on the trails was INSANE yesterday. Most everybody acted cool though which was good to see.

Groomers Mike and Dave M. split the Pine Stump run, Groomer Jack ran the Point trails and I hit the Falls trail. We all had the same to say, it looked good grooming but on the return trip it was gettin tore up again….lots of traffic! It was like grooming sugar, we could fill in the holes but after a dozen sleds went by it got all blown out. We all agreed to rate them as fair.

Today Groomer Gerald is runnin the Stump trail again and Groomer Jack is runnin south on trail #8.

Now, on to Groomer Chris` broke down grooming machine show…..

I`m cancelling it after today, was just having a little fun to alieviate the frustration but here`s one last run down.

We are waiting for the injector pump for the one machine. It should be here by the end of the week.

Our 2012 machine is runnin fine. We have run it around the clock the last couple days.

Our new machine is runnin good to. Mike had just one code pop up on him last night on the return trip from the Stump instead of 100. We`ll call the company Monday to see what they have to say but no big deal.

Thats it….hope you enjoyed the show!!!! And I hope I don`t have to bring it back as reruns…..LOL

Groomer Chris
