NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association – 1/28

TASA UPDATE:

Jan. 28, 2020 11:00am Updates below GREEN
Update: The trails overall are in pretty good condition despite the up and down temperatures. We did groom last night and the details are listed below. We will continue to groom all week with the possible exception of Wednesday night. The temperatures will be moderate this week ranging from the mid twenties to the freezing point. The night time lows will continue to dip into the twenties. The trails dragged out and packed well. We will continue to put our best foot forward to keep things smooth out. The details for the trails are detailed below. We Take Pride in Your Ride!!
All the clubs will be grooming so please BEWARE of the groomers on the trails. We Take Pride in Your Ride, but we take just as much concern with your safety. Everyone is here for a fun time, but returning home to your families safely is just as important to us!
All three groomers will be out.
There is a staging area north of town at Silver Creek 3 miles north. This is crucial information especially with the amount of traffic this weekend. If you don’t want to get hemmed up in the parking lot in town. Go north after crossing the tracks and take a left at the Silver Creek ORV sign and go to the dead end. Plenty of room there!
A friendly reminder is slow down and stay to the right especially on the corners. Stay on the trail. Private property owners gives us the privilege to have trails across their property and we do not want to lose it. Normal grooming operations are in full swing.
TASA works mostly with volunteers. We have the best groomers in the U.P. They dedicate long hours and nights away from their families to groom the trails so you can enjoy them safely. Please be cautious as you approach a groomer as there is not much room for them and you so please slow down and once there is room then go around them. It is always appreciated when you can tip your hat to them and thank them for their efforts or give them a wave. Be Safe out there and take time to enjoy nature and the best scenery the U.P has to offer.

Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links

This is the latest post from the Grand Traverse area Snowmobile Council

The groomer was out last night on the East trail and reported that the trails are taking a beating with the warm weather and the lack of heavy snow.
Driver reported some snirty corners and some open water puddles in spots. I would say current conditions are poor to fair. Still lots of snow out there but the trails are hurting.

As an added note our guide was out yesterday and noted there is plenty of snow for the most part and that some of the corners were a bit snirty. We are anticipating being open this weekend as it should be good to ride. I’ll update with any changes
