We are gonna hit those trails again today. Groomer Kevin is gonna run the Falls trail #45 today also. So……there ya have it. We are busting our butts to get all trails in great shape….just for you! Sure could use some more snow tho so do your best snow dances! Remember……Ride Right…..Ride Safe, so you can come back and do it all over again!!!!! LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight. A clipper will spread a mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain across the area this morning, changing to all rain from west to east as temperatures climb above freezing in the afternoon, reaching as high as the mid 50s in the west. A cold front then drops across the U.P. and brings another round of mixed precip tonight, changing to all snow towards Sunday morning. Generally expect minimal snow amounts across most of the U.P., but some spots in the Keweenaw and the east could pick up 1-3” through Sunday morning. A glaze of ice will also be possible in a few spots this morning and again tonight. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA pair of systems will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to the U.P. today into tonight.

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Mike and Al ran tandem last night on the north route. Al and Alex are currently running tandem on the east route. Both east and north routes were run out and back so they are relatively wide. Once they get back groomers will be heading out to the west and south route to get them widened out. Then hopefully we will be back to close to normal... #grandmarais #newberry WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Key Messages: NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Final prep for the vintage show on Saturday!!!

I am heading south on trail #8 this morning. I will skip the swamp again but we are planning a recon trip thru there for Tuesday.
Groomer ChrisPostings From Regional Pages On Facebook
31 degrees this morning and cloudy. Not much more to report on the weather U.P. here. Here`s what has been happining on the trails......
Groomer Dave ran trail #8 south of town, skipping the swamp of course, and called it good. He did crack the ice on the big holes on the south end of the power line. We will run it again Sunday but if we break through that ice we will be done with that trail. The one hole can get 3' deep. I got one VERY important thing to mention on this trail. We have the swamp section ribboned off with caution tape cause the gate is buried in snow. Some JERK(S) ripped down this ribbon and rode thru. We redid it now but this act was VERY dangerous. If somebody just followed your tracks and got stuck in there it could have been serious. PLEASE respect the roped off trails!!!!!!
Today we are gonna run the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. For the rest of the season we are gonna run trails as the weather allows. Some good news is we have our 3rd machine up and runnin again!!!!
All fer now. Get yer bunnies U.P. here for one last ride, still lots of snow in da woods!!!!!

Today, highs near 40, partly to mostly cloudy.
Tonight, rain with some snow (mostly north and east, as shown in the map) and freezing rain mixing in. Lows near 30.
Friday, mostly cloudy, highs in the mid 30s (north, east) to near 50 (MI/WI state line).
Weekend, tracking the potential for accumulating snow or freezing rain. Chances of 3+ inches of wet snow around 30% mainly Saturday night. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaKey Messages:

It’s going to be a great weekend to be at Pine Stump!!! #newberry #snowphotos
29 degrees this morning and cloudy. Here`s what went on with the trails yesterday, and a couple of other things.......
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9. He had a good battle with all the drifting in "Siberia" but made it thru. It turned out good but he is gonna run it again today to clean up.
I ran the South trail #8 and it turned out good also.
Today we are hittin the Point trails #452 & #453 and the Pine Stump trails again.
Now, here`s the couple of other things. We are down one machine still. The mechanic thinks he`s got it figured out and is sending us a part. We will install it and hopefully that does it. If not he can get here tomorrow. In fact, I think he`s coming tomorrow anyhow to run a computer scan on the whole system now that I think about it.
I explained this yesterday in my report and I thought I was pretty clear but I`m still hearing questions so here ya go again.....THE SWAMP SOUTH OF TOWN AND NORTH OF THE RIVER MOUTH IS CLOSED!!!! It is ribboned off cause the gate is buried in snow. THE FALLS TRAIL #45 IS RIDEABLE BUT WE ARE DONE GROOMING IT!!!! If we went in there with a machine we would break it up and it would be unridable. Its gonna be rough but at least you can ride it. Simple as that, it is what it is and we can`t do nuttin about the low lands.
Soooo.......there ya have it.......we`ll keep going until the weather won`t let us or until the end of the month with the other sections of trail.

Sitting at 415 (498) & 422 (9)
On my way back down from Pine Stump, Holland Lake, hit Windy Corners on the way up, temp say 33⁰ 34⁰, ignoring it.
They say it'll be a dress lite day,
Had to do some work on both drifty areas, deep, nasty, outta hand, alot closer to flat and widened now. 😉
Got up and back alone, all turned out very pretty!' MOSTY Ribbon 🥰
I'll be in this hood a bit, heading back down across the McMillan leg then back to the barn.
9 Rocks! It's way ready to be used, another dream ride for the early bird! #newberry #snowphotos
We are getting ready for the vintage show this weekend
I figured snow was done and just needed do some final cleanup. Nope it’s snowing good again and have a few inches of fluff so far
We are open, have gas, and the trails should be really good.
Everyone wonders if the snow will last until April 1. There’s no doubt of that
Come get some miles in before you start your summer activities!! Record winter you beater take advantage of it!! #newberry #snowphotos
