Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/28
February 28, 2022 6 degrees this morning under a mostly clear sky. Boy, I didn`t realize its been since last Thursday since my last report. Sorry, time flys when yer bustin yer butt. I hope everyone had a good time on our trail system last weekend. The traffic was INSANE again. Thats the busiest I`ve seen it when I was grooming Saturday. The trails took a beating and with us only having 2 machines runnin it was a challenge. I started our one machine at 0930 Saturday morning and groomed South and then Groomer Gerald took it to the Falls and then Groomer Glenn took it on the Point trails and then Groomer Dave M. took it south again. It didn`t get shut down until 1600 Sunday afternoon! Whew, thats 30 1/2 hrs. of straight run time!!!! Our other machine was just about as busy. Talking to all the operators, we are rating the entire system as good to very good with a few rough spots. Now on too the other machine….. The parts are expected to be here by late tomorrow. We`ll work on it Wednesday and if everything goes to plan we`ll have it back on the trail by Thursday. Oh, and we did find our long lost wheel and tire! All I have for ya`s today. Ride right and ride safe, and…….

30 degrees this morning under a partly cloudy sky. I saw 46 here yesterday at my place.....not good! I`m sure ya`ll are watching the weather as close as we are so you know whats UP. We still have plenty of snow on the ground but the roads are thawed and its tough getting around them. It looks like if we can get by this week it will cool off again late next week and maybe snow a little. Here`s whats been going on the last couple days on the trails.....
After all trails were run Tuesday all the operators reported them as good. We took yesterday off except groomer Mike ran an inspection run thru the south swamp. He said it was holding up good for now but on his way back there was some water showing up on top of the trail. Thats an early sign its on its way out. We are gonna run all trails today/tonight and see what we got. We run drags that work good in the warmer weather so we`ll keep going as long as the weather allows. Hopefully we can make it till the end of the season but it won`t be long before the swamps open up. Keep checking back and I`ll keep ya`ll informed.

Went for a little spin today
Trails are good. Lots of snow and low traffic. Iβm glad I finally got to go out for a few minutes
I will try and enjoy all this snow we have this month!
Donβt put the sleds away yet. I really enjoy March riding
Lots of parking out back for anyone that needs it... #newberry #snowphotos
Warmer during the day and getting cold at night
The snow hasnβt really taken a hit up this way Bext week looks to cool right back down again for the rest of thr month
Iβm sure towns will be getting harder to get in and out of
The trails are holding up great.
If you need a place to park and ride we have plenty of parking out back
I will try and get a video of trail 9 this morning
Donβt put your sleds up yet plenty of winter left up here... #newberry #snowphotos
Thank you to everyone who came out to support this amazing event. We had 305 total riders, including 95 Veterans, join us for a day filled with camaraderie, gratitude, and great trail riding.
A very special thank you to the Newberry Post Honor Guard for helping us honor our Veterans in such a meaningful and respectful way. Your presence added so much to the day and reminded us all why this event is so important.
We are so grateful to our volunteers, ride guides, groomer operators, sponsors, and everyone who helped make this day possible. Seeing all the snowmoilers come together to support and celebrate our Veterans is what this ride is all about.
We are incredibly proud to host this event each year and can never thank our Veterans enough for their service and sacrifice.
Already looking forward to next year! β€οΈπ€π
