Newberry Trail Report – 02/22
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump – 02/22 I went for a quick ride to see what things are like. This mirrors my post from a couple weeks ago with the previous warm up Trail 8 has spots where it’s good and it has spots that are bare for several hundred feet and you have to skirt the edge. It’s the worst in the clear cuts The seasonal roads and fire lanes are good still. It’s spring riding conditions that are way early this year. You need to trailer up to get into the snow. Towns will be bad to terrible to access. If you want to do a ton of miles stay home. As I’ve been telling everyone if you want to ride some and not afraid to take the seasonal roads etc you can do 75 to 100 miles and have some fun. Ride the trails long enough to get off of them The pictures are from today they start from leaving pine stump and working my way up to trail 8 west and then looping back on seasonal roads and fire lanes Trail 9 towards wolf inn will be similar. Some crap and some that’s not so bad. In the clear cuts are where things are the worst. I’m sure the burned out area towards paradise is terrrible It’s supposed to be cold this weekend with a chance of 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow. Boy would the few inches of snow be a blessing at this point. We just need to get past the warm day today let’s hope some clouds roll in For most riders this could be the end if we don’t get some March storms. Typically we get some good storms in March so let’s hope Go for a ride and if you get bored jump in the truck and visit all your favorite places. Make sure to visit the local businesses while your up they’d love to see you I’m all booked up but feel free to trailer up here.

TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Associationgroomed 9 one last time last night
We have parking if you want to ride for the day
We will be closed this Saturday Sunday and Monday for Easter
Let’s all hope spring comes soon now #newberry #snowphotos
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
