Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/26
19 degrees this morning under a clear blue sky. We had a light snow most of the day yesterday and it sure made everything all pretty and white again. The forecast for the forseeable future sure doesn`t look good for snowmobiling though. "They" are saying above average temps for March. This really sucks. We already have had a short season cause of the lack of snow, but nuttin we can do about the weather…..right? Here`s whats been going on the last couple of days….. Sorry for no report yesterday but my router quit working and I couldn`t get online. By the time I got it fixed I had an appointment with a groomer. I ran the South trail #8 and will call it very good. The fresh snow turned the ugly brown color into a nice white. The swamp south of town even looked nice. Gerald ran the Falls trail #45 and called that very good also.

Mike H. ran the Point trails #452 and #453 and called them very good also, this is after some moron ran the entire trail in his pick-up truck. It was an older red Chevy with Ohio plates. He tore it up pretty good but Mike H. got `er all fixed up. He wanted to call them excellent but I just can`t do it cause there are still a few thin spots and I`m real persnickety when it comes to that word for the trails.
Zach ran the Pine Stump trail #8 the day before. He`s not very good about lettin me know how things went (I gotta talk to him) but I know it is in good shape also. It is gonna be run again today. We are gonna run full speed for the weekend and then see what the weather brings. Lets hope the weather guessers are wrong but I have the feeling we are about done….bummer. Keep checking back and I`ll let ya know.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Have a great week!
Ride safe, ride right! #newberry #snowphotos
10 degrees this morning and cloudy. Mother Nature FINALLY blessed us with a good dumping of snow! We have picked up a solid foot or more in the last 36 hrs. and its been COLD.
Following up from my last report......the tech did finally make it out and went through our computer problems on all 3 machines. 2 of them are up and runnin good now and we just got the parts we need for the third one and that will be good to go today. Now, on to whats been happinin with the trails......
Yesterday we took 2 machines with 4 guys but no drags and headed south on trail #8. We skipped the swamp just south of town and started at the river mouth. We ran across just some minor water holes at the south end of the power line and a touch more severe in the Federal Forest section. We kept the gates closed in the Federal Forest section to give that a chance to tighten up.
Tomorrow we are gonna send the same set up around the Point Trails #452 & #453. The other machine will hit the Pine Stump trail #8 doing a full groom. After we see how all that goes we will hit the Falls trail #45 hopefully by the end of the week. I`m sure ya`ll have seen we have a slight warm up coming this Tues. for a couple days so that will dictate what we do on the Falls trail and the Swamp south of town.
All I have for now Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry
Great job Paul 
So ya, took off at 6 all cognetoie thinking I'd just focus and pay attention to the task at hand tonight but see we've been spotted, evidence from several places were out here, could be the lights, it is orange, dunno but it didn't work! 😂
Anyway, 4th season playing with one of these and I can tell you it's been a perfect storm 😁 of continuous snow, temps, and all of you working with us to leave the snow on the corners for us to squish, ( See how wide and Flat they're building up!!) I just turned south at Wolf Inn, if we get this 7" Carl Bonac says "anything close to the Soo" , that's us right? 😉 we could used it but is pretty awesome right now, no complaints here! Actually belive this keeps up, we will make the cover of Better Cabins & Trails this year 😎
Hope you get outta bed and come see what we did for you!
