Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/19
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/19 12/19/25 15 degrees this morning and snowing. We got just a light dusting last night. Yesterday was a night mare. I hit 43 degrees here and got about a 1/4 inch of rain. We lost quite a bit of snow. Looking out my window I would say I have just less than a foot left. We were off to a good start! The big thing I think people don`t realize is that the snow melt has to go somewhere. Our trail system has a lot of low country and guess where the water goes….right…..back into the swamps! This water then gets warmed a bit because of the rotting vegetation and there you have it…..more darn water holes on the trails!!!! This is the main reason we can`t get going as early as some of the other surrounding clubs do. As far as our plans go…..It looks like the weather is gonna cool back down to normal for the next few days. We are gonna let things freeze back up and then Sunday we are gonna send 2 machines w/o drags down the Falls trail #45 and see what we got. Trails #452 & #453 around the Point are ridable but thin in areas, they are not groomed yet, just packed. Trail #8 to da Stump is groomed but it is thin in spots too. Trail #8 south is just packed and the gates into the Federal Forest section are closed because of water. Thats about it for now. This thaw really hurt our plans. LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and stay cold <> PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> 12/19 Went to bed when it was 40 degrees and drizzling- woke up to a winter wonderland! I flew into Pellston yesterday evening- there was heavier rain all the way south of M28- Seems North of there got spared the brunt of it… <> <> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> FROM Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Busy, busy busy. We have been brushing and grading, but today we got help from a couple of our local contractors. A bit thank you to Dave and Brett Dudnasky of Superior Excavating and Rich Williamson of M77 Redimix and Excavating for some heavy lifting.
