Ishpeming Area Trail Report – Country Village Resort – 01/21

Just a quick update: Spoke to the groomers today and they are out and about and the trails are in excellent shape according to them. higher traffic areas have a bit less snow than the wooded areas but they are still really nice. Should be similar to early season riding conditions.

Cold weather and more small snow accumulations are expected throughout the week. So now is a great time to get out and ride.

Hello All,

Finally as of today we have some positive happenings weather wise.

It has been snowing all day and we are looking at getting a small accumulation. Accuweather has us getting 6-10 inches over the weekend which would be excellent.

It has been quite cold so the snow we did have has held. Trails were pretty rough but when we get enough to start grooming again there will be a good solid yet sparce base.

I will keep doing the snow dance and hopefully I will have news of grooming resuming in the next couple of days.

Also, we have a great event going on this weekend in our sister city Negaunee:

Paradise Area Trail Report – Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/21

Good Morning & Martin Luther King Day….its 10:00am ,,,winds are blowing 20 mph out of the west..,temps is up to 7 degrees on the shores of Whitefish Bay…(colder inland) Temps in the U.P. are hovering around the ZERO mark …Windchills in the -18 below zero area… A great day for working/packing snowmachine trails ..


Pic… this morning @ 10:00am….ice is slowing building out about 800 feet …high winds 20mph are actually out of west …weather vane shows north …but the tree line causes that…snow is gettin up to 18 inches officially we have 16 inches the glass railings are 36 inches tall..

Officially we have 16 inches of snow as per Paradise cocorahs.org weather person Bob Englebrecht….and 87.5 inches for the year ( we had alot of early season melt downs included) our AVERAGE snow fall is 200’…..

GROOMERS REPORT…..Spent last night till 1:00am up on trail 8 (Paradise to Pine Stump Jct. area..
Trail #8 is good to excellent shape North of Paradise…South of Paradise its Marginal and water holes thru the swamp…should be in better condition soon…

Trails 45-451-452-453 are all groomed and in very good condition,,,but watch out for huge drifts.. I would give these a excellent riding rating but due to the drifting snow and white out conditions we leave it a very good condition…

forecasts call for lots of upcoming Lake Effect Snow and below Zero temps..
