Newberry Trail Report – 12/11
December 11, 2017 Snowmobile trails are officially open and we have 3 to 10 inches of snow the farther north you travel. We are not grooming due to the wet areas that are not frozen and not enough snow. North Trail #9 There is about 5 to 12 inches of snow on the ground but the gates in Newberry are still closed. Trail #45 The gates are still closed on this trail and we have a several wet areas that need to freeze before we are going to be able to groom. I do not recommend riding this trail until we receive more snow and start grooming. South Trail #9/2 This trail has to 3 to 5 inches of snow on the ground. <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association on Facebook <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association Report on MSA <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A quick-moving clipper system crosses northern MI tonight. Primarily rain is expected across much of northern lower, with mainly snow through the Straits and eastern U.P. Snow will likely end as a period of freezing drizzle early Friday morning with a coating of ice possible, mainly in eastern upper. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryA quick-moving clipper system crosses northern MI tonight.

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Mike and Al ran tandem last night on the north route. Al and Alex are currently running tandem on the east route. Both east and north routes were run out and back so they are relatively wide. Once they get back groomers will be heading out to the west and south route to get them widened out. Then hopefully we will be back to close to normal... #grandmarais #newberry WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Key Messages: NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Final prep for the vintage show on Saturday!!!

It’s going to be a great weekend to be at Pine Stump!!! #newberry #snowphotos
29 degrees this morning and cloudy. Here`s what went on with the trails yesterday, and a couple of other things.......
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9. He had a good battle with all the drifting in "Siberia" but made it thru. It turned out good but he is gonna run it again today to clean up.
I ran the South trail #8 and it turned out good also.
Today we are hittin the Point trails #452 & #453 and the Pine Stump trails again.
Now, here`s the couple of other things. We are down one machine still. The mechanic thinks he`s got it figured out and is sending us a part. We will install it and hopefully that does it. If not he can get here tomorrow. In fact, I think he`s coming tomorrow anyhow to run a computer scan on the whole system now that I think about it.
I explained this yesterday in my report and I thought I was pretty clear but I`m still hearing questions so here ya go again.....THE SWAMP SOUTH OF TOWN AND NORTH OF THE RIVER MOUTH IS CLOSED!!!! It is ribboned off cause the gate is buried in snow. THE FALLS TRAIL #45 IS RIDEABLE BUT WE ARE DONE GROOMING IT!!!! If we went in there with a machine we would break it up and it would be unridable. Its gonna be rough but at least you can ride it. Simple as that, it is what it is and we can`t do nuttin about the low lands.
Soooo.......there ya have it.......we`ll keep going until the weather won`t let us or until the end of the month with the other sections of trail.

Sitting at 415 (498) & 422 (9)
On my way back down from Pine Stump, Holland Lake, hit Windy Corners on the way up, temp say 33⁰ 34⁰, ignoring it.
They say it'll be a dress lite day,
Had to do some work on both drifty areas, deep, nasty, outta hand, alot closer to flat and widened now. 😉
Got up and back alone, all turned out very pretty!' MOSTY Ribbon 🥰
I'll be in this hood a bit, heading back down across the McMillan leg then back to the barn.
9 Rocks! It's way ready to be used, another dream ride for the early bird! #newberry #snowphotos Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
