PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI – 11/27
Alrighty folks. Groomer Chris here still alive and back in the saddle for another season. It looks like I better get the trail reports rolling early this year!!! I haven`t seen this much snow this early in a very long time. I`ve got a solid 8" here at my place and I`ve seen reports of a foot plus outside of town. It looks like this weather pattern will last for at least a week with cold temps and lots of lake effect snow to come!!! I got a good feeling for this season!!!!! Mother Nature sure does owe us.
We are ready to go. We have our sunk groomer (remember) back from the manufacturer with a brand new engine and the other 2 machines are good to go. The brushing and signing is about wrapped up on the high ground. All we need is Mother Nature to continue to cooperate and this season is gonna be awesome!!!!
Just thought I would jump on here to see if I remember how to do this stuff and let ya`ll know we are still here. Keep checking back for the most honest trail reports for the Paradise area.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris

SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 11/27
11/27 update- Hi everyone! Just left a meeting with our groomer boss, President, and DNR trail specialist. I know that the questions of when we will start grooming will be coming, as we have measurable snow on the ground, with more forecasted in the coming days.
Please know that the ground is not frozen, as is almost always the case at the beginning of the season. This also means swamps are not frozen, not even close. The gated trails will remain gated until we deem them safe to open for sleds. The non gated trails will be ride at your own risk/discretion until we can start grooming. We definitely do not want to ruin trails before they even have a chance to start setting up.
We encourage sleds to pack trails down in the accessible areas, and ask that you obey the laws in place to allow hunters to have their time. Dec 1st is the “official” start, and those time restrictions will be off as of that date. If you exercise a little throttle control, it helps in early season conditions. Who wants to dig up rocks and mud anyway, right?!
We’ve been doing this a long time, and have learned the hard way that starting early doesn’t always mean great trails. I promise you that we will update as soon as we start grooming.
Let’s hope the forecasts are correct, and more prolonged cold and then snow are on the way!
Groomer Tracker is a great resource for the season! It’s also an easy way to support us as half of the $10 subscribtion fee comes back to us as a club. Once we start grooming, you will be able to see real time updates of where our machines are at.
Keep dancing! It’s so close we can taste it!🤘🏼❄️❄️❄️

SAULT STE. MARIE AREA UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association >> 1/19/26 Jay and I hit the city trails last night and they are in good shape. Some choppy spots due to heavier traffic earlier, but we smoothed them out as best we could and saw very little traffic on our run. Snow was falling the whole run and should be a beautiful ride in the morning. Enjoy! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0119#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
