Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/22
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/22 1/22/25 Groomer Mike H. ran the Point trails yesterday and called them in great shape. With all the recent snow and cold even the Doe Lake Rd. ridge thats been thin all season is good to go. I ran the South trail #8, but skipped the swamp, and it turned out great. Plenty of snow on it now and the water holes on the south end of the power line are nuttin but small wet spots now. There is still a couple of very small wet spots in the Federal Forest section but they are easy to get around. They should freeze in within the next couple of days. Now, for the not so good……. Groomer Keith was runnin the Stump trail last night and had a break down. The front tire broke off the machine and the track came off. Of course he was almost to da stump so he was about as far away from the barn as you could get. Groomers Mike C., Gerald and Glen loaded up 2 machines with all the anticipated tools and parts needed and headed to the rescue. They figured about a 4 hr. run to him then a couple hrs. to fix it, in the negative degree weather keep in mind, then about 4 hrs. back. It is 0800 this morning as I write this and I haven`t heard from them yet if they made it back. This will mess up our schedule for a day or so on grooming. Thats it for today. Bring on this 5-10" LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The week starts out dry today with temperatures climbing above freezing across the UP. The next system brings a mix of rain and snow on Tuesday before temperatures turn sharply colder Tuesday night, followed by a round of potentially heavy lake effect snow in the north wind snow belts on Wednesday. Quieter weather on Thursday then gives way to another chance of snow with the next system on Friday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThe week starts out dry today with temperatures climbing above freezing across the UP.

Please use caution on Petrol Lane. There are loggers operating about one mile North of Trail 8.
Trail 431 has a minor detour around the swamp just north of Seney.
*** DO NOT TRY TO GO THROUGH THE SWAMP! IT WAS FROZEN BUT WITH THE WARM UP AND RAIN WE GOT LAST WEEK. THERE"S A DEEP MUD HOLE NOW YOU WILL GET STUCK***
Just use Trail 440 along M-77 once your up by the park and ride Trail 431 is great all the way to Trail 9.

Remember Ride Right and Stay Safe #seney #newberry
Fresh snow overnight and the trails are looking chef’s kiss to start the week!
Nothing beats a snowy Monday in the UP. Where is your week taking you? #newberry #snowphotos
Most of the lake effect snow for the UP will fall between Tuesday and Thursday, where much of the higher elevation areas along Lake Superior currently have a greater than 50% chance at 4" of snow by the end of the work week. For much of the LP, lake effect snow will be confined primarily to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, especially AFTER Wednesday heading into Thursday. We are keeping an area of 1-20% across much of southern and central Michigan in the event wind shifts or passing clippers allow for extra accumulation, but the greatest chances for 4" will be in the far southwest corner, the thumb, or your typical lake effect zones across northern lower Michigan.
We have lake effect snow forecasts coming all week, along with other forecasts for other weather phenomena such as wind, rain, and perhaps mixed precipitation.

3 routes groomed last night. Check your groomer tracker app for the pretty colors. We will be back at it tonight. Snow is in the forcast. All good! #grandmarais #newberry #snowphotos
Around 4 inches of snow last night. I see the groomers all made it out. I would guess the trails should freeze up flat now.
I would imagine it will be lower traffic during the week. It would be a pretty good week to ride if you can sneak away! #newberry #snowphotos
