Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Light snowfall across the area eventually dwindles away to pure lake effect over the northwest wind snow belts of the eastern U.P. tonight. Attention then turns to a quick hitting system Sunday evening/night. Heavy snowfall rates and low visibilities could create very difficult travel for a hour or two underneath the heavy snow. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLight snowfall across the area eventually dwindles away to pure lake effect over the northwest wind snow belts of the eastern U.P. tonight.

Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/09

February 9, 2022

27 degrees this morning, cloudy and a stiff SE breeze. "They" are calling for a couple-few inches of snow today and through-out the rest of the week…..PERFECT!

Still nothing new to report on the trails. All operators are telling me they are in very good shape. Groomer Mike H. even has his own rating system but I keep telling him "I can`t print that!" He ran the Point trails #452 and #453 yesterday and we`ll just say he rated them as excellent!

One thing I have noticed is there is quite a bit of traffic here this week so the trails are gettin a little choppy in the evening. We ARE all over it though! We are runnin a full schedule and all 3 machines are humming along.

What more can I say. Everything in our little corner of the world is perfect. COME ON UP and enjoy!!!

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

This should have been our sign to turn around back to grand marais. We went around it and had to deal with the drifted plains part of the trail the rest of the way to Pinestump.
