Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/05
March 5, 2021 27 degrees this morning under a clear blue sky. The last couple of days have been the same so no new snow. I always hate this time of year to announce this but I think its time. Unless something really strange happens……we are done grooming 🙁. A couple of the guys have gone out the last couple of days and said its a waste of time and energy, plus its beatin up the equipment. All our trails are hard and icey and flat. Don`t get me wrong, there is good ridin to be had for this weekend if you`re thinking about coming UP for one last ride but the temps are supposed to get up into the 40`s and 50`s by Sunday and Monday. This will toast our trails that are already thin. Off trail ridin should still be good for another week or so though. Unless something crazy happens this will be my last report on the trails. I`ll jump on here from time to time and let ya`ll know about any brushing parties we are planning for next fall or give you any important news you may want to know. Take care and God Bless. See ya`ll next fall.

A season that started about 6 weeks too late was pretty lousy in the middle and abruptly ended about 3 weeks early. Mother Nature just wouldn’t cooperate this year. I personally want to give a big 👍 to this group. It was challenging in many ways and they kept plugging away. Here’s hoping next season is so much better. Pictured left to right: Tim, Emmett, Elmer, Jack, Michael and Ted. Good job guys. Not pictured is groomer and club president Mike L ... #grandmarais #newberryUnfortunately it’s that time to say goodbye for the season. 😢.

ORV/ATV season Opens May 1 for the trails. County roads are open year-round for SxS and ATVs.
TASA Would like to give a big thanks to all the snowmobilers for your support. This season we had a couple of curveballs thrown at us with COVID-19 and the weather conditions so thank you again for sticking it out.
We would also like to thank all the groomers volunteers businesses gas stations and especially the bars and restaurants that did their best to accommodate all the snowmobilers.
A special thanks goes out to the Newberry Country Club for allowing our snowmobilers to use their property to get to the gas stations and the main trails. Snowmobilers please remember to follow the rules when riding the golf course in the future. It’s not a right it is a privilege so please be mindful and respectful And pay attention to the signs posted.
We are looking forward to a great ORV/ATV season this year. TASA is looking for volunteers to help with clean up and maintenance on the trails in the very near future.
