Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/07
March 7, 2022 26 degrees this morning with a light snow flitting around in the air. Sorry for no reports the last few days but I`ve been a VERY BUSY man. This weekend was a bear weather wise, and machine wise, but first the trails, cause this is what its all about. We have been grooming ALL WEEKEND, even with this wet weather. We run drags that work pretty good in this stuff. Groomer Mike C. ran the Pine Stump trail #8 and the Falls trail #45 last night and called them both good. The Stump trail does have a couple of thin spots starting to show up tho, but nothing serious. Groomer Glenn ran the Point trails #452 and #453 last night also and called them good. The South trail #8 didn`t get hit yesterday but Groomer Dave M. is on it this morning. The trails got beat up pretty fast cause of the wet and warmer weather and the heavy traffic but we did try to keep up. I sure hope everyone had a good time. I haven`t heard too many complaints. Thats it for the trails, now here`s the rest of the story…….. First off……it started raining/freezing raining Saturday afternoon and it didn`t stop till Sunday. Everything was coated in ice Sunday morning. It stayed in the lower 30`s for most of that time so ya`ll know thats tough on the trails. We really did try to keep up. We only had 2 machines available for most of the weekend. Remember we had one down late last week. It was supposed to be up and runnin by the weekend but it gave us a hard time. Here`s what went on, if your interested…….We did get it going Friday evening. Groomer Zach took it on the Falls trail Friday night then Groomer Glenn took it on the Point trails Saturday morning. He finished that trail but when he was putting it back in the barn after his run he was rounding the back side of the barn and the other front wheel broke off! Luckily, and smartly, we had ordered parts for that side too when the first one broke off figuring that might be ready to go. We were planning to replace that one when the season was over. Soooo……Glenn called up the mechanic right away and he was in Gaylord. He turned around and headed back and by Sunday afternoon he had it back up and running!! We needed the mechanic to fix this cause it takes a special tool. We ordered one to have for the future BTW cause we could fix this ourselves. A HUGE thank you goes out to mechanic Brian (wish I knew his last name) from Prinoth for his dedication to us!!!!! Another HUGE thank you goes out to Mike and especially Glenn. He told me he had 32 hrs. into helping fix this mess. So, thats my story for today. Just wanted to show you the dedication we have for you and the trails…..all for free!!! If you ran across a bumpy section this weekend, cut us a little slack, we busted our butts!!!
