Our area has a general 24-36+” of snow. When we ask our guests how the trails are we are receiving smiles and they are replying great, awesome and excellent.

Halfway Lake Resort – Newberry Area – January 19, 2013

We are being told that the groomers are doing a good job overall. Occasionally, when we get into a conversation we hear about a bad spot here or there (like the trail in/out of The Falls). We are being told off trail riding is great too.

I even tried asking if there were any areas I should tell people to avoid. The response? Other sleds. Please drive safe! The trails are great and we are expected to receive more snow today. It is going to be another busy weekend.

We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry and 7 miles S of Pinestump Jnct. Between Grand Marais and Paradise.

Thank you for your phone calls. We are full through Saturday night with an opening Sun 1/27 and 1/28.

Lake effect snow has been hitting the area most of the week. I did talk to a few riders who were out yesterday. They told me the trail was pretty much completely snow covered.

Blue Sky Snowmobile Rentals – January 24
The snowbanks are piled high at Blue Sky Rentals in the back parking lot at Peegeo’s.

Some of the corners were pretty icy but for the most part the trails were in great shape. The groomers have been out trying to groom the best they can until we get more snow. The good news is we are up and running again, there is snow falling and more snow in the forecast.

Please be aware that the groomers are out and working hard for us to use the trails. Give them a thumbs up as they are all volunteers!
