Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/26
December 26, 2020 Well, ready for some good news for a change for 2020? I`ll get with the boys later today or tomorrow and we`ll start to come up with a plan. Being so light and fluffy we might wait a day or few for some more before we get the machines out to start freeze down. So be patient. We`ll get `er going as soon as feasable. Thought I would jump on here to give ya`ll a quick update. Its lookin better!!!!!! <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders Website >>>> <> PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Paradise - Grand Marais-Pine Stump- lots of boondocking and two tracks.. Trails are brutally “hard” after the refreeze. Some sections got a few inches of fresh snow today which made for good but most were very “chattery” with engine temps constantly elevating. We stayed mostly off the trails where possible as the two tracks were excellent! If you are the kind that cares about hyfax and carbides- conditions aren’t for you but plenty of fun to be had. #paradise #newberry #snowphotos PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/19/25 PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Went to bed when it was 40 degrees and drizzling- woke up to a winter wonderland! <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders Website >>>> <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
I crawled outa bed at 0800 (thats good news in itself) and looked outside to a pleasent surprise. We finally got some snow! The weather guessers weren`t really calling for much. I even went out on my deck and measured 5 1/2 inches and its still coming down at 1030 this morning!! It is also 19 degrees out. Looking at the forecast its supposed to snow an inch or two the next few days and remain cold…..YEA!!! It is just light fluffy lake effect but it is a start!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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
