Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/30
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> 01/30 1/30/25 I was the only one to run yesterday because we wanted a quick back up available just in case I got myself in trouble in da swamp south of town. I took a drag thru there for the first time this year. It turned out decent and plenty ridable. It is narrow in a couple spots and there are a few wet spots you have to be careful of but all in all I`ll rate is as fair. We have some brushing to do in there also. I can`t say this enough…..when you go thru the swamp south of town PLEASE take it easy. If you blast thru a wet spot you WILL get covered with mud, stay on the groomed trail, if you get off trail you may sink up to your armpits in mud, consider youself warned but don`t let me scare you away, it is safe, just slow down and ride smart. Being we have the gates open now law enforcement will not be as lenient on riding down the side of M-123 into town. Now, onto whats going on for today…… Thats easy…..our entire system is gonna be run today. This is the I-500 weekend so the trails are gonna be busy. We will run about around the clock to try and keep U.P. LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A clipper low will bring widespread light snow to the U.P today with generally less than an inch of snowfall. The exception will be in the northwest wind snowbelts where up to 4” of dry fluffy snow is possible.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Trails End Lodging >> Current look 👀 in Windy Corners! TROUT LAKE AREA UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Attempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake. Use caution as there is a downed tree on the backside of the lake. We did not have a chainsaw and were unable to move it on our own. Visibility is better and there are a lot of sleds out. The snow is DEEP. If I had to guess I would say we got 20"+ of snow. Be safe. Be prepared and do not ride alone. There's a lucky guy!

18 degrees this morning and cloudy. We picked up just a dusting of snow in the last 24 hrs. We have a solid 3′ on the ground right now around here. Good news about yesterday so here we go……..
OK, all I have.

North and South routes to follow. #grandmarais #newberry
16 hours included cutting two downed 12-14" pines trees completely across and many other smaller and wind blown debris, lots of stops.
I left green ribbons hanging in the spots I cut the two pines, worried about what I may have missed under the snow. Just careful. #newberry #snowphotos
Things are slightly calmer then yesterday. Estimates for snowfall are north of 18 inches of fluff but it was hard to tell will all the drifting.
Clubs are getting back onto the trails. Most in the area have started grooming again but caution to watch for down trees and drifts for the next couple of days.
1 report comming in from Grand Marais saying there is a tree across 8 halfway to Pine Stump.
Paradise is out working on knocking drifts down on 9 out in Siberia along with opening up 452/453. Tomorrow thwy plan on sending two groomers down 45 to see if they can work some magic.
We are currently under another winter storm watch with totals saying around 7 inches to fall by tomorrow. So far its looking like an epic week.
We still have availabilty in Janurary starting Janurary 3rd. Cally and book today 810 531 1344 #newberry #snowphotosTrail Update 12/30/25.

We really got the snow yeaterday. Cut river area seemed to be the winner with claims to 36 inches. St ignace received a foot or more and Trout lake closer to 2ft. With all that snow comes the fun stuff. We did pan what we could last night but had to turn around and could not make it into St ignace do to down trees. We will need a few days to get this storm cleaned up. It is passable to St Ignace by sled but ungroomed until clean up is done. So much snow came at once it will take several passes to get a good hard base again so please be patient with us for a few days while we get things in order. Use extreme caution while riding in our area as there still is branches in the trail. We will update as soon as conditions change. Thank you #soo #straitsarea #newberry #snowphotos

14 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. About all I can say about the last couple days is HOLY WAH...did we ever get hammered with snow and wind!!!! Its impossible to say how much snow cause of all the wind but I`ll just say plenty! Everyone spent all day yesterday clearing snow and today we are hittin the trails wide open. Here`s what we have planned for the next couple days.......
All 3 machines will be out today. We are sending 2 of them on the Point Trails #452 & #453. One will have a drag and the other will be helping clear trees down, we have reports of several down. The other machine will make its way down the Pine Stump trail #8. I can only imagine the drifting in "Siberia".
Tomorrow we are sending 2 machines, one with a drag the other clearing trees, south on trail #8. We will be skipping the swamp for now and just starting at the river mouth. Not sure right now on the other machine duties. If all goes well we will start working on the Falls trail #45 and then go into the swamp south of town.
It looks like the weather is gonna finally cooperate and its supposed to stay cold and snowy for at least a week or more. We are supposed to get another 6" plus tonight. I tend to not believe the forecast any more than a week out....LOL.
Sooooooo......with all the snow and cold we are gonna run full blast! It may take a day or two to get everything in shape but we`ll try our best!!! If we can get the swamps filled in we`ll be golden....wish us luck.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
