Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/13
January 13, 2022
17 degrees this morning and cloudy. No new snow in the last few days but it has stayed cold, looks like its supposed to stay that way too. Here`s what I got today….
The Pine Stump and the Point trails were both run yesterday and both groomer drivers told me the same thing. Both trails are rated as good but there are a few thin spots. Darn, we could use more snow!!
Today, I am runnin south on trail #8 and gonna hit the swamp with a drag for the first time. If everything goes good I will leave the gates open, if the gates are closed it means don`t go around them, its still too ugly!! Groomer Gerald is runnin the Falls trail #45 today and will go across the problem water hole for the first time. It should be good to go but if not we do have a detour set up around that one. The rest of that trail is rated as good.
I have had a request from the DNR and the police to post this next thing so pay attention. We have had a lot of trouble this year ALREADY with trespassing and a couple of crashes. PLEASE PEOPLE, stay on the trail unless you are positive it is ok to ride off trail in that area. PLEASE stay on the right side of the trail and ride with respect and common sense, just don`t go flying everywhere. We are gonna lose our trail system if people don`t respect private property and quit acting like jerks! Its gonna be a busy weekend and the police WILL be out there!
OK. Peace, and be careful this weekend.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> The cool thing about this video is when I left to groom 9 Sunday night, we were still praying for the snow to hit, and I was just working on trail repair, before I got back from this 16hr 91.5 mile run, THIS is what I was working with!!
16 hours included cutting two downed 12-14" pines trees completely across and many other smaller and wind blown debris, lots of stops.
I left green ribbons hanging in the spots I cut the two pines, worried about what I may have missed under the snow. Just careful. #newberry #snowphotos

EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via Mackinac County Snowmobile Association >> Tuesday December 30
We really got the snow yeaterday. Cut river area seemed to be the winner with claims to 36 inches. St ignace received a foot or more and Trout lake closer to 2ft. With all that snow comes the fun stuff. We did pan what we could last night but had to turn around and could not make it into St ignace do to down trees. We will need a few days to get this storm cleaned up. It is passable to St Ignace by sled but ungroomed until clean up is done. So much snow came at once it will take several passes to get a good hard base again so please be patient with us for a few days while we get things in order. Use extreme caution while riding in our area as there still is branches in the trail. We will update as soon as conditions change. Thank you #soo #straitsarea #newberry #snowphotos
