The trails are very good in the majority of the area. We groomed North to holland lake and South to Cut River and trout lake last night. We now have two groomers that are working and one that is still broke down(scheduled to be repaired today), so we will continue to do what we can. Tonight we are planning to groom trail 45 and south to trout lake. There is still some logging going on it also there are some water holes still open in a few spots so please ride with caution and care! The details are below for specific trail grooming. We have had a couple inches of snow over the weekend and moderate amount of traffic so the trails are holding up very well.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump --> Well a few snowflakes this morning. If you can sneak away during the week it should be good this week. This weekend should be decent. Don't give up on winter yet!!!
Sorry I’m not sold, they aren’t running most of the groomers. We we’re up there Sunday to show my wife( her first time up there ever ) how great is was and not one groomer track to be found from pine sump to paradise. The bar tender at the Hoat locker said they haven’t run the groomer around there area for 2 weeks. But people keep riding in the area so there not going to do it. Absolute crap that we spend money to come up, pay $40 for a $20 dollar meal, $5.75 for a gallon of gas and the trails are garbage.
I want to know who’s gonna pay for my wife back surgery now LOL
But seriously, we love it up there but it’s not being maintained regularly
