Newberry Trail Report – 12/01
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA – 12/01 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.

It’s one of those perfect, peaceful starts — fresh groomed trails, clean air, and that quiet calm before the day picks up. You can almost hear the snow calling your name.
Trails are looking mint today… 👌
Are you squeezing in one last ride before the season wraps up? 🏁
Or have you already hung up the helmet and put away the sled for the year?
Drop a ❄️ if you’re riding today — let’s see who’s still out there making the most of it! #newberry #snowphotos
From early mornings to late nights, through blowing snow and brutal conditions, our groomers showed up every single time and delivered perfection. The trails this year? Absolutely unreal. 🙌
Let’s make some noise for the people who make it all happen 👇
👏 THANK YOU to every groomer who put in the hours, the grit, and the passion. You don’t always get the spotlight, but trust me—it does NOT go unnoticed.
If you rode the trails this season, drop a comment and show your appreciation:
👇👇👇
• Where was your favorite ride this year?
• Best trail conditions you experienced?
• Got a shoutout for a groomer? Tag them!
Let’s blow this up and give these legends the recognition they deserve. 🚨 #newberry #snowphotos
Chad, you have to answer them. Im busy.
Just have the drag spread out low and lean, nothing blade worthy yet, hauling hiny (9ish) keeps it cycling through pretty good, leavin, ribbons.
Mostly just out here looking for disasters before that lady shows up! 😉 keep you posted. #newberry #snowphotos
A lot of snow on the ground still
3ft on the gauge up the road
This is a video of trail 8 west of county road 407
Grooming is over but traffic is low. If you want to go have a little fun there’s definitely snow #newberry #snowphotos
9:43PM Trail 9
Yuk! Second stop sign out, pretty ugly.
People were glad to see us from the git go, I get it!
Having to dig pretty deep with the blade in the corners followed by an aggressive drag, so heads up till we get back for any curbs I leave behind, still over 9ft wide a pass so you should be able to squeak through 😉
Othe than that, way cool sunset!
Not too much traffic, all pulled over 🥰
It's cleaning up very nice. I'll keep you posted.
11:18pm
Just finished Wolf Inn, North Store, Trails End Lodging, moved alot of snow down in the corners, lots, still digging deep.
Mostly ribbony, leveled off some intersections, enjoying my ride 😁
Just turned north, Pine Stump bound, keep you posted.
7:24am
Back down to the McMillan Leg.
After I left Windy Corners I never saw another sled, still haven't 😊 turning out pretty well, weird snow, thawed, froze, rinse, repeat it seems, kinda like artificial.
Anyway removed the ugly both sides, a few Corners could still use another lap, but they'll be fine. #newberry #snowphotos
Looks like a beautiful day today!!
Nights are still getting cold so the trails are hard to start
It looks to be good riding until the end of grooming season Wednesday
There will be a lot of snow in the backcountry way into April (probably late April) #newberry #snowphotos
