Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/04
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI – 12/04
12/4/24
26 degrees this morning and snowing……still. It hasn`t quit since my last report a few days ago! We now have a solid 3 feet on the ground and we are under a winter storm warning till tomorrow night….oh boy…..I`m hoping the wind don`t pick up like they are saying!
We have had the groomers out. Groomer Mike C. took a machine with a drag and ran up to Chic`s corner to clear trees, he ran the North and South loops outa town also. He was surprised at how many trees were down and quite a bit of water under the snow too. I took just a machine and ran into town and set the town trail.
We had a drivers mtg. last night and came up with a plan, so here it is…..With this storm coming we are gonna stay outa the woods till Friday then we will take a machine out trail #8 to Pine Stump to clear trees and pack it in. We will also take a machine around the Point trails #452 & #453 and do the same. Sunday we will take 2 machines and head south on trail #8. We are gonna skip the swamp just south of town and start at the river mouth. The reason for skipping the swamp is it looks like we have a slight warm up coming for next week and with the ground not froze yet we would do more damage than good, same for trail #45 to the Falls, we will get on these trails as soon as the weather lets us.
If you decide to come UP for the weekend I say GO FOR IT!!!! Tons of powder to play in, just a couple of sections not quite ready. Keep a sharp eye for trees down and some water under the snow.
OK, ya`ll got the skinny for the next few days!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please don`t warm up too much
Groomer Chris

22 degrees this morning and cloudy. Supposed to get a little snow today but the main thing is its supposed to stay cold for the foreseeable future! It snowed an blowed all day yesterday, its hard to say how much snow we got but I`ll call it 3-4". Been having trouble with my computer the last few days so I`ll say sorry cause I haven`t been keeping up on my reports. Here`s whats been going on with our trails.......
Its been really cold the last few days so we`ve been playing catch-up on our trails since that rain and warm up. Yesterday we took 2 machines w/o drags and ran trail #8 south to try and refreeze that trail down. The water holes on the power line and in the Federal Forest section really opened up with that warm up we had and made them impassable. Me and Groomer Dave were successful in gettin `er done! The gates are now open again in the Federal Forest and the big hole on the power line is filled in!! The swamp just south of town is still closed tho, I`ll cover that in a minute.
Today we are runnin the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. Tomorrow we are heading back into the Falls trail #45 with 2 machines w/o drags and see if we can`t get that finally froze in and opened up. If everything goes well in there we will get into the swamp south of town and see what we got on Monday. We will also run trail #8 south tomorrow with a drag.
So, there ya have it, a full run down on our system. If everything goes well we should have our full system opened up by the middle of next week.......FINALLY!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
