Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/26
February 26, 2023
23 degrees this morning and snowing pretty hard. I`ve picked up a solid 2 " of lake effect fluff on my deck just from this morning. I see the weather guessers are calling for another storm to come thru late Monday. "They" are saying anywhere from 4-9". That would be cool!!! We have been runnin the groomers almost around the clock since last Friday. The traffic has been really heavy this weekend so here`s the report…..
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trail #8 last night and called it good.
Groomer Mike H. did the Point trails #452 & #453 and called them really good, even the rough section on the northern side from the lack of snow turned out good.
Groomer Kevin hit the Falls trail #45 and called that good to go.
I ran the South trail #8 and will call that good except for the swamp south of town which was REALLY rough in spots. It is froze solid but the problem is so are the dirt bumps and ice and we can`t do a thing with it.
We are runnin all trails again today and will continue to run as long as we get snow. It looks like March is gonna be the month to ride this year so don`t put away the sleds!
RIDE RIGHT……..RIDE SAFE
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/30/26
Minus 5 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. No new snow in the last 24 hrs. but we do have about 3 feet of snow on the ground so no worries...LOL. Here`s whats been happening since my last report a couple days ago......
No bad news...the machines have been running beautifully....Mother Nature has been cooperating perfectly....and our trails are EXCELLENT!!!!
The Falls trail #45, the Point trails #452 & #453 and the South trail #8 all fall into that catagory. The only blip on the radar is on the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 but it is only minor. Our section of trail #9 is still being plowed down from the Stump to the East branch of the Two Heart by the loggers. It is no big deal, just take trail #8 around instead of #9, just like the old days. Its a touch longer but you`re out there to enjoy the ride.....right? On the bright side, they are done up by Crisp Point but it will take us a couple trips to get that back in great shape.
Where is everybody?? Its been awful slow around here. COME ON U.P., You are missing out!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like more snow again today. Plowed once and looks like I’ll be plowing tomorrow morning as well
I told people I thought we were going to have a big winter like 2014, it’s sure looking that way half way through

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/28/26
9 degrees this morning and snowing. I picked up 5-6" of fresh snow on my deck from last night and it looks like its supposed to snow for the next couple of days too!!!
Our entire system was groomed yesterday and there`s only one way to describe it......EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, those of you who follow me know I don`t use that word very often, but I ain`t kiddin, it doesn`t get any better than this. The swamp south of town, the Falls trail, ALL of our low land trails are better than I`ve seen in a long time!!!!!
If you don`t have plans on gettin U.P. here.....make `em. It won`t last forever.
Thats all I have to report.....one word.....EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
