Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/15

1/15/24

7 degrees this morning and cloudy. We got a couple inches of snow last night on top of the couple yesterday. I`ve got some good news and I`m afraid I got some bad too. Lets start with the good……

Groomer Kevin went around the Point trails and called them fair to good. A couple of thin spots on top of the far east ridge but more good than anything else.

I got the town trail set but that is about it cause this happened….read on….

Groomer Mike H. had a big problem on the Falls trail. Long story short he sunk a groomer in a DEEP mud hole. We did get it out eventually but it took our other 2 machines and a lot of work. Groomer Mike C. got called off his run to Pine Stump and we had to wait for Kevin to finish up the Point trails to go rescue the other Mike. Once we got the groomer outa the mud hole it died so we had to tow it back to the barn. Today we are gonna work on the dead groomer, hopefully its nothing serious. We will then hit the Stump trail tomorrow and come up with a plan for the rest depending how our dead groomer works out.

PLEASE people, do not go around the closed gates! Case in point here is the sunk groomer. A sled would have disappeared in that hole!

OK, enough of that. We should be good to go on the high ground trails for this weekend, I kinda have my doubts on the Falls trail and South trail but we have the whole week to work on them and we WILL bust our butts to try and get them open.

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> 8:21:PM Doused the lights at the entrance of 9 again tonight to wait for a group headed to Newberry.
Pray for H2O free diesel, and fracture free Metalergy tonight! 🙏
9:25 Check out this group, they have exiting and getting outta the way of the Groomer down to a Extreme Science! 🥰 ThankYou Very Much! You know who you are 😊
10:08 Lot and Lots of time to ponder things out here, and we see things out here sooner, and better from our picture windows and Lazy Boys, I was wondering how many of you come into corners at a Very respectful safety minded speed only to find a series of Rupp eating craters that had you in an entirely different spot half way around and coming out of that corner?
In and outta Windy Corners, I've done better, not the snows fault, kept loosing my prime, most, very nice, its a personal goal thing.
Intell has informed me we've had help grooming a chunk of 9 tonight, I'll keep you posted 😉

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> With the dangerously low temps, high winds, and poor visibility no groomers went out last night. These conditions will continue at least thru the early afternoon hours today. We will be sending out groomers today during daylight hours on the south route and north route, staying away from the lakeshore. We are hoping to groom the other two routes as soon as possible. #grandmarais #newberry ... See MoreSee Less

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/23/26
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/22/26
11 degrees this morning and snowing. I got a solid 3" on my deck from last night too! Just giving you a quick update before I head out da door to go grooming. I`ve got all good news so lets go.......
Groomers Mike C. and Glenn worked on our down machine all day yesterday and think they have it fixed! Seems to have been a sensor issue...darn electronics anywho. I am taking her out today and running the South trail #8. While I`m doing that, Groomer Mike C. is gonna go into the south swamp and see if he can get it packed in enough to send me thru with the drag on my way back! 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!!!
So.....everythings good to go in PANR land!! Thank you Mother Nature!!!! COME ON UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
