Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/21
1/21/24 17 degrees this morning under a partly cloudy sky. I got about an inch and a half of fluff on my deck from last night. Here`s how things went yesterday and whats gonna happen today…… Groomer Keith and new guy Christopher headed out on the Pine Stump trail #8. Keith called it all in all good shape but with a few thin spots. I ran the South trail #8 past the river mouth and will say the same. Today, groomer Mike C. is going into the swamp south of town and work on that. Me and groomer Patrick are going to sign up the town trail. Thats all I know…….LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> We groomed 9 45 and the south trail down to H40 Trout Lake last night. It was the best we could do considering the condition were a little warm, but we did get it knocked down and it looked decent from the looks of the temperature tonight we should be back in full swing after that. #newberryWe groomed 9 45 and the south trail down to H40 Trout Lake last night.

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 3/22/26 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Tonight through Sunday, light showers hang around as temperatures remain around the freezing mark. Some dry weather is then expected Monday ahead of the next system towards the midweek period next week. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaTonight through Sunday, light showers hang around as temperatures remain around the freezing mark. Some dry weather is then expected Monday ahead of the next system towards the midweek period next week. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight. A clipper will spread a mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain across the area this morning, changing to all rain from west to east as temperatures climb above freezing in the afternoon, reaching as high as the mid 50s in the west. A cold front then drops across the U.P. and brings another round of mixed precip tonight, changing to all snow towards Sunday morning. Generally expect minimal snow amounts across most of the U.P., but some spots in the Keweenaw and the east could pick up 1-3” through Sunday morning. A glaze of ice will also be possible in a few spots this morning and again tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight.

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Mike and Al ran tandem last night on the north route. Al and Alex are currently running tandem on the east route. Both east and north routes were run out and back so they are relatively wide. Once they get back groomers will be heading out to the west and south route to get them widened out. Then hopefully we will be back to close to normal... #grandmarais #newberry WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Key Messages: NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Final prep for the vintage show on Saturday!!!

31 degrees this morning and cloudy. Not much more to report on the weather U.P. here. Here`s what has been happining on the trails......
Groomer Dave ran trail #8 south of town, skipping the swamp of course, and called it good. He did crack the ice on the big holes on the south end of the power line. We will run it again Sunday but if we break through that ice we will be done with that trail. The one hole can get 3' deep. I got one VERY important thing to mention on this trail. We have the swamp section ribboned off with caution tape cause the gate is buried in snow. Some JERK(S) ripped down this ribbon and rode thru. We redid it now but this act was VERY dangerous. If somebody just followed your tracks and got stuck in there it could have been serious. PLEASE respect the roped off trails!!!!!!
Today we are gonna run the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. For the rest of the season we are gonna run trails as the weather allows. Some good news is we have our 3rd machine up and runnin again!!!!
All fer now. Get yer bunnies U.P. here for one last ride, still lots of snow in da woods!!!!!

Today, highs near 40, partly to mostly cloudy.
Tonight, rain with some snow (mostly north and east, as shown in the map) and freezing rain mixing in. Lows near 30.
Friday, mostly cloudy, highs in the mid 30s (north, east) to near 50 (MI/WI state line).
Weekend, tracking the potential for accumulating snow or freezing rain. Chances of 3+ inches of wet snow around 30% mainly Saturday night. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaKey Messages:

It’s going to be a great weekend to be at Pine Stump!!! #newberry #snowphotos
29 degrees this morning and cloudy. Here`s what went on with the trails yesterday, and a couple of other things.......
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9. He had a good battle with all the drifting in "Siberia" but made it thru. It turned out good but he is gonna run it again today to clean up.
I ran the South trail #8 and it turned out good also.
Today we are hittin the Point trails #452 & #453 and the Pine Stump trails again.
Now, here`s the couple of other things. We are down one machine still. The mechanic thinks he`s got it figured out and is sending us a part. We will install it and hopefully that does it. If not he can get here tomorrow. In fact, I think he`s coming tomorrow anyhow to run a computer scan on the whole system now that I think about it.
I explained this yesterday in my report and I thought I was pretty clear but I`m still hearing questions so here ya go again.....THE SWAMP SOUTH OF TOWN AND NORTH OF THE RIVER MOUTH IS CLOSED!!!! It is ribboned off cause the gate is buried in snow. THE FALLS TRAIL #45 IS RIDEABLE BUT WE ARE DONE GROOMING IT!!!! If we went in there with a machine we would break it up and it would be unridable. Its gonna be rough but at least you can ride it. Simple as that, it is what it is and we can`t do nuttin about the low lands.
Soooo.......there ya have it.......we`ll keep going until the weather won`t let us or until the end of the month with the other sections of trail.
