23 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. We haven`t had any new snow in a couple weeks now but its been pretty cold day and night so the trails have been holding up pretty well. We haven`t groomed anything since last Saturday but all the people I`ve talked to are saying the trails are great! They are hard and icey but totally flat. I`m sure all you weather geeks have seen we are in for a "big" snow storm coming in Thursday night till Saturday morning. "They" are saying 6-13" from what I’ve seen. I`ll believe it when I see it tho.
Soooo…..if you`re thinking about coming UP for one last ride this weekend, I say go for it!!! I think you`ll have a blast and if we get just a few inches of snow you won`t have any cooling issues. It looks like next week we are gonna warm up into the upper 30`s to low 40`s, but what do I know, I ain`t no weatherman.
Just thought I would jump on here to give ya`ll a heads up. You just might be able to squeak in one more weekend in this crappy, and super short, winter season this year.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump --> People around say trails aren't bad to the north. Towns are bad. We have parking out back for people. Here's the trail out back. Now this is a good trail you'll find bad too. But there's snow in the woods... #newberry#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump --> Well a few snowflakes this morning. If you can sneak away during the week it should be good this week. This weekend should be decent. Don't give up on winter yet!!!
Sorry I’m not sold, they aren’t running most of the groomers. We we’re up there Sunday to show my wife( her first time up there ever ) how great is was and not one groomer track to be found from pine sump to paradise. The bar tender at the Hoat locker said they haven’t run the groomer around there area for 2 weeks. But people keep riding in the area so there not going to do it. Absolute crap that we spend money to come up, pay $40 for a $20 dollar meal, $5.75 for a gallon of gas and the trails are garbage.
I want to know who’s gonna pay for my wife back surgery now LOL
But seriously, we love it up there but it’s not being maintained regularly
