Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/21

1/21/24

17 degrees this morning under a partly cloudy sky. I got about an inch and a half of fluff on my deck from last night. Here`s how things went yesterday and whats gonna happen today……

Groomer Keith and new guy Christopher headed out on the Pine Stump trail #8. Keith called it all in all good shape but with a few thin spots.

I ran the South trail #8 past the river mouth and will say the same.

Today, groomer Mike C. is going into the swamp south of town and work on that. Me and groomer Patrick are going to sign up the town trail.

Thats all I know…….LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

NEGATIVE 2 degrees this morning and snowing. We picked up around 6" of snow yesterday and another 6 or so last night! It`s down right winter out der! All good news for yesterdays happenings so lets rock-n-roll.....
Groomer Mike C. took off in the morning and headed into da south swamp with just a machine. I took off with a machine and drag and headed south also but skipped the swamp section. Before I got done with the South trail #8, Mike radioed me and said hit the swamp with the drag on my way back. He got it packed in pretty good and it turned out good with the drag. It is only one lane for now but we`ll fix that tomorrow. THE GATES ARE NOW OPEN!!!!
After that Groomer Mike C. headed out on the Falls trail #45 with just the machine and Groomer Glenn pulling a drag following him. They got that trail packed in and groomed, it turned out great!!! Groomer Mike C. put in 12 hrs. in a machine yesterday filling and packing in water holes! Great job!!!
Today we are running the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. Not sure what we are gonna do with the other machine.
So......total green flag for our entire trail system!!!! COME ON UP and enjoy our hard work!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am taking her out today and running the South trail #8.

If all goes well we`ll have at least one lane groomed thru there and we can open the gates!!! When he gets done in there he will hit the Falls trail #45.
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 yesterday and rated them as good.
More good news.....Groomer Patrick ran the Point trails #452 & #453 and rated them as good to go. The water holes on the North section are froze in now!!!

Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 01/21

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/21

Where did you chase the snow to this weekend? We had a lot of riders that chased the 50 plus inches of snow that fell here in the Keweenaw lady week!
Mark Berg and crew were just one of the groups that chose to ride the Keweenaw! It’s crazy to think that it’s the middle of January and riders are making their first trip of the season. Also crazy to believe it’s the middle of January, and we just recently received the first real significant snowfall.
Mark shared these beautiful photos and said, “We rode Trail 3 from Houghton to Copper Harbor. Plenty of snow. Was a little choppy at first. Meet the groomer half way up and it was like glass after that. On the way home it got a little choppy, even after being gromed. But from a group of Southern Minnesota riders, it sure beats a corn field! Thank you so much for all the trail updates. Keep up the great work!”
Thanks for sharing, Mark! We experienced the same thing on Trail 3 last night, which can be expected without really having a base yet and heavy traffic. Next weeks bit warmer temps should help with that and hopefully some fresh snowfall on top!
Riders should ride with extreme caution as it is still considered, early season conditions. You may experience exposed rocks, thin spots and some trails have less snow over than others. Please also note, the spur trail to High Rock Bay has not been groomed this season and there is a significant water hole. Please see post made yesterday with photos.
For those looking to stage in Houghton, please note the previous lot used for parking below the bridge, is no longer available for truck and trailer parking. Ray Kestner Waterfront Park right down the road is open and there is plenty of room!

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club – 01/21

Trails took a beating yesterday as the main corridors on our system saw very high traffic. As a reminder, we lack a robust “base” for this time of year. We cut and laid things back down but without that base it tears apart quickly.

Reminder that the High Rock Spur is not being groomed due to the trail condition and that there are still many wet areas on our system. Ride right and with caution as you support our local establishments!

Thanks,
The KSC Board of Directors
