Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/15
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 12/15
12/15/24
36 degrees this morning and windy. Looks like the next few days are gonna be above freezing, even at night, this is a bummer. We are forced to park `em for now. Here`s how it went yesterday……
Me and new guy Dave did take a machine with drag and headed south. Everything groomed up pretty good except for the far south end of the power line. There is about a 100 yard section of open water. It is only about a foot deep. You can get around it but be careful. In the Federal Forest section there is another 100 yard section of water that you can`t get around. Its closer to 2 feet deep so, sorry to report, we had to keep the gates closed.
Soooo……like I said above…….we are gonna park the machines for now and wait out good ole Mother Nature. Looks like next Wed. or Thurs. the temps are supposed to drop……this sucks.
LET `ER SNOW……..and get cold…….darn it
Groomer Chris

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall. The exception will be in the northwest wind snowbelts where up to 4” of dry fluffy snow is possible. It will be cold for New Years Eve and those headed out should dress accordingly; temperatures in the single digits and breezy conditions will result in sub zero wind chills. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall.

WEATHER UPDATE via TV6 & FOX UP >> Lake effect snow continues in Alger County this morning. Then, a clipper system brings slight snow by the afternoon followed by more lake effect snow tomorrow! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Well, that was one heck of a storm we got yesterday! We currently have two machines heading to the bear trap to try and get that back into shape. We will be working on 440 also today. It’s going to take us a few days to get all the trails cleared. If your out riding today be careful out there lots of snow drifts. If you see a tree down and you can help move it please lend a hand we can use all the help we can get. #seney #newberry
GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> The forecast did not disappoint. Lots of wind and snow. It will take a few days to get the trails cleaned up. Ride with caution as there are trees down and big drifts. 2 drivers are headed east to groom and clean up. 2 drivers will be heading west to groom and clean up shortly
North and South routes to follow. #grandmarais #newberry
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> The cool thing about this video is when I left to groom 9 Sunday night, we were still praying for the snow to hit, and I was just working on trail repair, before I got back from this 16hr 91.5 mile run, THIS is what I was working with!!
16 hours included cutting two downed 12-14" pines trees completely across and many other smaller and wind blown debris, lots of stops.
I left green ribbons hanging in the spots I cut the two pines, worried about what I may have missed under the snow. Just careful. #newberry #snowphotos
