Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/28
December 28, 2020 22 degrees this morning with a stiff NW breeze. It looks like we picked up about 2 inches last night but its hard to tell because of the wind. I`ve got a 6 inch drift on my deck. I`d say we have about 8 inches or so on the ground. We are under a winter weather advisory for today and they are calling for 3-6 inches!!!! YAY!!!!! I am heading out to da barn this morning to work on our drags with a couple of the other guys and we`ll talk about a plan. If we get this 6 inches or so we could be out with the machines really soon. Its lookin better n better. Keep checking back, I`ll keep you informed.

Massive drifts coming back and white out conditions made for a blast. Chics Hot Dog Stand 8 and 452 Paradiseprovided the Hot chocolate on the way out. Ended the evening at Wheelhouse Diner & Goat Locker Saloon back in Paradise. TASA, Grand Marias, and Seney operations have their trails dialed in beautifully- Andy’s Bar in Seney has the burger!! All areas received several inches of fresh snow today and it’s still coming down hard at 11pm. #paradise #newberry #snowphotos Ryan Blake 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 <>
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
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
