Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/31
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> 01/31
1/31/25
26 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. We have picked up just a dusting of snow in the last 24 hrs.
I have something for ya`s. For those that know me know I have a hard time rating the trail conditions as excellant, things just have to be perfect. This morning I am calling EXCELLANT for our entire trail system. Plenty of snow and the weather has been cooperating. The only exception is da swamp south of town and I`ll call that section just fair. There is a couple of muddy spots but no big deal if you take it easy and ride smart. Speaking of da swamp…..pay attention here….law enforcement has contacted us and requested additional signage to direct riders to stay on the trail to go thru the swamp instead of riding down the side of M-123 coming into town from the south. Ya`ll know what that means so follow the trail. Soooo…..that covers the trails….COME ON U.P., they are in EXCELLANT shape!!!!
I have something else for ya`s that you may/may not realize and I need to get off my chest, I see this every year and I`ve been grooming for 24 of them! We are volunteers, this is not or job, we do this for YOU. When you see us stopped and out cutting those annoying helmet slappers why don`t you stop just for a couple of minutes and give us a hand? I see it a lot every year, ya just ride by and yell "thank you" and ride away or just sit there and watch…we would appreciate a hand…just for a minute even. Case in point. I had a ride along yesterday. Me and Stan were out trimming about a 100 yard section in da swamp. It was heavily over grown with "face slappers". We had branches laying all over the trail and riders just rode by and yelled "thank you" and drove right over them. It would of saved us 20 minutes of our already 7 hr. run if you would have stopped and helped throw off the limbs. On the other hand, I was out last week and trimming high branches. A guy named Eric N. (I wish I would have gotten his permission to use his last name but I forgot to ask) climbed up on the back of the groomer with me and helped trim about 100 yards of big branches that were creaming the top of the groomer as we drove underneath. Thanks a ton Eric, I owe ya a beer!!! OK, enough of my whinning, just give it a thought the next time you see a volunteer out working!
The trails are perfect, you`re missing out if your not U.P. here!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/30/25
14 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. About all I can say about the last couple days is HOLY WAH...did we ever get hammered with snow and wind!!!! Its impossible to say how much snow cause of all the wind but I`ll just say plenty! Everyone spent all day yesterday clearing snow and today we are hittin the trails wide open. Here`s what we have planned for the next couple days.......
All 3 machines will be out today. We are sending 2 of them on the Point Trails #452 & #453. One will have a drag and the other will be helping clear trees down, we have reports of several down. The other machine will make its way down the Pine Stump trail #8. I can only imagine the drifting in "Siberia".
Tomorrow we are sending 2 machines, one with a drag the other clearing trees, south on trail #8. We will be skipping the swamp for now and just starting at the river mouth. Not sure right now on the other machine duties. If all goes well we will start working on the Falls trail #45 and then go into the swamp south of town.
It looks like the weather is gonna finally cooperate and its supposed to stay cold and snowy for at least a week or more. We are supposed to get another 6" plus tonight. I tend to not believe the forecast any more than a week out....LOL.
Sooooooo......with all the snow and cold we are gonna run full blast! It may take a day or two to get everything in shape but we`ll try our best!!! If we can get the swamps filled in we`ll be golden....wish us luck.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you riding today??
Ride right. Ride safe! #newberry #snowphotos
TROUT LAKE AREA UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Attempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake. Use caution as there is a downed tree on the backside of the lake. We did not have a chainsaw and were unable to move it on our own. Visibility is better and there are a lot of sleds out. The snow is DEEP. If I had to guess I would say we got 20"+ of snow. Be safe. Be prepared and do not ride alone.
Buckhorn, Trout Lake is open and so is the gas station
Special thanks to RAD Rentals! Our family from Florida is enjoying the snow and their lessons in being a Yooper. Check them out for snowmobile and gear rentals!! #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosAttempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake.

TROUT LAKE - EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Welp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in. The wind makes it hard to tell exactly how much snow we have gotten in the last 24hrs but its pretty significant. Roads are NOT passable. Please don't try to go out until the county trucks are able to do a pass or 2. If you are familiar with our area, this pic was taken on Huckleberry road on the South side of the lake. #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosWelp... we had to give it a shot but only made it a few miles before we turned around and headed back in.
