Well no april fools jokes up here. The wet heavy snow made it. Power is out in a good part of the area. The big backup generator is going here so we have power. We will be open today as usual. Here’s a good powder day for everyone. Be careful there will be hazards on the trails drifts, potential low hanging trees or downed trees.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA – 03/29

We groomed north to Holland lake Saturday night and back south Sunday night, we plan on grooming north tonight(Wednesday) and south tomorrow night. We will also be grooming county road 414(trail 9) to little lake harbor as well. We did not groom anything else due to low traffic and warm weather. With the traffic over the weekend even though we had fresh snow the trails south are thin, The north trails are reported as good. We have receive about 3 inches of fresh snow today so far, It is currently 25 degrees and snowing. Our plans are for this to be the last of our grooming but the DNR is allowing us to groom through the weekend so it is possible for us to go out again this weekend.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Happy Opening Day everyone. We do have snow in the area. Reports are about 10 inches. The last couple of days temps have been just above freezing but that will help set up a good base. Trails are still under restricted use as we enter mussel loading season. December 15th is when all restrictions in the area are lifted. The gates at the trail head are going to remain closed until we get some more snow. That section of trail goes through some wet land that hasn't yet froze over. The same for the gates on trial 45. If you want to come up and give it a go we would suggest trailering a bit north of town to either the Silvercreek trail head, Pine Stump, or the trail head north of that. Please go slow and watch for hazards on the trail. Ride Safe and Ride Right #newberryHappy Opening Day everyone. We do have snow in the area. Reports are about 10 inches.
