Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/12
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 03/12 3/12/26 19 degrees this morning under a bright blue sky. Well……the weather guessers got us again. We were under a winter storm warning yesterday. "They" were saying 8" plus. I got about an inch here at my place with a touch of freezing rain….bummer. "They" are saying another big one tomorrow…..we`ll see. At least they are gettin the temps right. It is supposed to stay on the cooler side for the next week or so. Here`s what we got going on for the trails…….. After our meeting we decided on going on what the weather lets us do. The warm up into the 50`s really hurt our low land trails. The main news is we are done on the Falls trail #45. It is still open to ride but if we try to groom it we will break it up and it will not be even ridable. Please understand we are rolling about 7 tons down the trail. The swamp section south of town is also done, same thing as the Falls trail, it is still ridable but we don`t want it to break up or even take a chance of sinking a groomer. This being said, here`s what we did yesterday….. Groomer Dave ran the South trail #8, skipping the swamp of course. He said it turned out good with just a little water on top of the trail on the south end of the power line. Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trail #8 and said there is some water on top of the trail in spots and the base is really thin in spots too but all in all in good shape…..think late season riding on all 3 sections. There is still plenty of snow in da woods to play around on but the trails took a good hit with the warmer weather. If you`re thinking about coming U.P. for one last ride…..DO IT!!!!!!!! Its winding down fast folks. Groomer Chris <> <> 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. Flat dirt trails make for flat snowmobile trails. #grandmarais #newberry WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Snow and ice return tonight, and continue through midday April 4th, 2026.
