Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/08
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/08 OK, finally gettin my butt in gear! If my brother was still alive he would be all over me calling me “slacker”. LOL 12/8/25 16 degrees this morning with a light snow falling. We haven`t been gettin the snow some of the surrounding areas have. We have about a foot on the ground, plus or minus, depending on where your at and the ground is just starting to freeze, which is the biggest thing we need! It has been chilly and we have been gettin a little snow bout every day and it looks like it will stay that way….lets cross our fingers. Here`s the scoop on whats been happinin` out at da barn….. After a problem free run last year with the machines we started out not so hot this year. When we fired them up this fall all 3 machines started to yell at us…..beeping and flashing codes all over the place….darn computers anyhow! We did get one machine to clear but the other 2 won`t. The tech is supposed to come out this week and check them out. This is one reason we haven`t been out other than settin the town trail. We still have a TON of water on the trails at this time also. The Falls trail #45, the south trail #8 (of course) and even sections of the Point trails #452 and #453. I did see a nasty rescue run with sleds stuck in a big water hole on the Falls trail….so don`t even think about going around the gates on that trail or the swamp trail south of town!!! By the looks of the weather forecast things should start to tighten up soon, just be patient. I`ll start gettin on here more when we start making progress but for now we are in a holding pattern till we get the machines looked at and the water starts draining off. Groomer Chris <> PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> 12/07 Hats off to ALL the clubs surrounding, but not including, Paradise. We found conditions to be mostly excellent this past week and even commented that it felt like riding much later in the season in many areas. Forgot to grab a pic but there was 20” of snow on the picnic table this morning.
