We did groom last night to the Pine Stump and Trout Lake. According to the forecast most of the snow will be coming next week. We may see a little Lake Effect over the weekend. However, this is the U.P and you never know from hour to hour. There are good spots and there are bad spots, along with a lot of traffic. Certainly still early season riding conditions. As always we want to encourage safe and responsible riding!! Please ride with caution.
Ride Right and Be Safe!!
All groomers will be heading out around 1:00pm today.
Trail 9: Groomed last night and will groom again tonight. Newberry to the Wolf Inn is Fair. The Wolf Inn North is Fair to Good.
Trail 45: Trail is Fair and was not groomed last night. We will run Trail 45 tonight to County Road 500. Beyond the 500 across the swamp is not frozen enough to open the gate. We will not open the gate to the Falls until we can access the conditions of the swamp. However there is a CAUTION AREA!!!! There is logging off of Trail 45 before Camp Snort. The gate across the marsh to the FALLS is still closed.
Trial 9/2 South: Groomed last night to Trout Lake and we will groom again today. There is a water spot along the tracks between H-40 and Trout Lake Use CAUTION!
Happy New Year!!
Your grooming team from the TASA Barn!!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A high impact winter storm is set to impact the U.P. tonight through tomorrow. Blizzard conditions are expected to develop, resulting in areas near zero visibility, especially near Lake Superior where gusts upwards of 60 mph are likely. Important update: Trends in storm track have resulted in a southeast shift of the heaviest snowfall axis. Areas of 1 to 2 feet will be common from the high terrain of the central UP eastward along and north of M-28. Strong northerly winds may result in downed trees and power outages. Please take extreme caution if you must travel over the next 24 hours. Stay safe! Check in on your neighbors!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Didn’t get going till after noon today and had a maintenance stop at Clarke Motel for some fresh carbides along the way. South out of Paradise is very bumpy and the route to Hulbert was scrapped really good but passable. Heavy traffic made corners bumpy and studder bumps most of our day. Some sections were great like Mission Hill trail and part of 8 (west of the strongs turn off before getting to Curley Lewis) - busy weekend normal stuff. It’s about to get really good with forecasted 2-3 feet coming! FYI- you’ll want to avoid that little red diamond section south of paradise as we did- It’s wet in the Federal Forest #paradise #newberryDidn’t get going till after noon today and had a maintenance stop at Clarke Motel for some fresh carbides along the way.

WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~(Updated) Snowfall Forecast Sunrise Sunday-Sunrise Tuesday~ A major winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to portions of the region. Most of the accumulating snow will be along and north of I-80. No matter how much snow will fall, there will be strong northwest winds that will create blowing and drifting snow. Travel north of I-80 will be near impossible at times. Some road closures are possible along and north of I-90 given greater accumulation and more persistent blizzard-like conditions. Heaviest snowfall totals through sunrise Tuesday (there will be more after) will be along Lake Superior. Snowfall rates could exceed 2" an hour at times due to lake enhancement. Expect over a foot in most areas along the lakeshore before dropping as you get closer to the WI border. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskey~OUTDATED~

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Woke up to 4-5” of fresh snow in paradise. Did a nice 250 mile loop through Pine Stump road- Wolf Inn- Eagles Nest- Seney- Took 43 up to 8 and back to Grand Marias to Paradise. We skipped the Paradise side of 8 for the most part and everything we ran was great today. The new snow was just what the trails needed- another foot or two and off trail riding will begin! Looks like a groomer left the barn in Paradise- guessing he did the point loop 🤷♂️ as the trail into town was excellent. #paradise #newberry #snowphotosWoke up to 4-5” of fresh snow in paradise.

28 degrees this morning and cloudy. Haven`t had any new snow to speak of in the last few days. It does look like the weather will switch up to the better side of sno-mo by the end of today and into the new year. Good riddance to 2021! Here`s what we`ve been up to since my last report a few days ago……..
Its been torture to see other clubs videos that are close to us out grooming! We just don`t have the snow they have. We did get out 2 machines w/o drags yesterday and headed out trail #45 to the Falls. We are trying REALLY HARD to get this trail froze in. We spent ALL DAY working on it and got `er pretty good. The plan is to bring a drag down it tomorrow and hopefully we can get `er open! We did leave the gates closed for now.
Sorry to say thats all we have accomplished the last few days…again…lack of snow. Lets hope 2022 comes rippin in!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris
