Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/31
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> 01/31 1/31/25 I have something for ya`s. For those that know me know I have a hard time rating the trail conditions as excellant, things just have to be perfect. This morning I am calling EXCELLANT for our entire trail system. Plenty of snow and the weather has been cooperating. The only exception is da swamp south of town and I`ll call that section just fair. There is a couple of muddy spots but no big deal if you take it easy and ride smart. Speaking of da swamp…..pay attention here….law enforcement has contacted us and requested additional signage to direct riders to stay on the trail to go thru the swamp instead of riding down the side of M-123 coming into town from the south. Ya`ll know what that means so follow the trail. Soooo…..that covers the trails….COME ON U.P., they are in EXCELLANT shape!!!! I have something else for ya`s that you may/may not realize and I need to get off my chest, I see this every year and I`ve been grooming for 24 of them! We are volunteers, this is not or job, we do this for YOU. When you see us stopped and out cutting those annoying helmet slappers why don`t you stop just for a couple of minutes and give us a hand? I see it a lot every year, ya just ride by and yell "thank you" and ride away or just sit there and watch…we would appreciate a hand…just for a minute even. Case in point. I had a ride along yesterday. Me and Stan were out trimming about a 100 yard section in da swamp. It was heavily over grown with "face slappers". We had branches laying all over the trail and riders just rode by and yelled "thank you" and drove right over them. It would of saved us 20 minutes of our already 7 hr. run if you would have stopped and helped throw off the limbs. On the other hand, I was out last week and trimming high branches. A guy named Eric N. (I wish I would have gotten his permission to use his last name but I forgot to ask) climbed up on the back of the groomer with me and helped trim about 100 yards of big branches that were creaming the top of the groomer as we drove underneath. Thanks a ton Eric, I owe ya a beer!!! OK, enough of my whinning, just give it a thought the next time you see a volunteer out working! The trails are perfect, you`re missing out if your not U.P. here!!!!

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

Just about to the Sceny turn, wasn't so bad till I got north of Windy Corners, gotta scrape pretty well with the blade, but I noticed a little defect while out checking the tires.
Shot pics to Chad, we discussed, gonna use it but keep an eye it.
26⁰ not really alot of snow above our frozen base to plat with.
3 TASA Groomers out taking care of all of you for a great start Friday,.
Going to send this with 3 pics now, hope it works, keep you posted. 😁
1:32am Just turned around at Holland Lake, 48.4 miles hangin out at 26⁰ most the night.
Both Grand Marais and Seney have been through recently.
Have to use the blade to knock the snot outta most of it, turning out pretty good so far, no change on our Crack 😊
Headed to Pine Stump, then south.
Keep you posted.
5:44am Back to Windy Corners intersection. Had to dig pretty deep in quite a few Corners, busts up the chunky snow, again, still broken suger cube stuff, froze and thawed several times now, dont believe it will set up well and a porous flat surface.
Blending it all together on the way back. #newberry #snowphotos
