Newberry Trail Report – 02/16

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Gene’s Tahquamenon General Store – 2/16

Thought I’d update on our conditions. Are you still planning on coming up this weekend. President’s weekend is around the corner. People have called curious about if things are down to dirt. Nope!

Gene’s Tahquamenon General Store
Just had 5 guys came in ..Asked how’s the trails. Their opinion is not that bad.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA – 2/15

Update:

Temps have steadily fallen all day. Currently its is about 20 degrees with a wind chill of 10. Groomer is out headed north to Holland Lake. Be cautious if you do ride as water holes may opened back up and other hazards could be exposed from melting snow. Be safe and ride right..

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump – 2/14

Well here’s my speech for the day since everyone keeps asking
Yeah it got warm for a couple days

Yes it rained over night

The snow isn’t all gone

I don’t have time to ride the trails so I can’t answer how they are

We had a hell of a base this way and good snow before this
Here’s 2 pictures one from Sunday and one from today
I don’t see a huge difference after the rain out front.
It’s going to be like riding in mid March. Towns are probably bad. Things are probably better up this way

It’s going to cool down tonight and this stuff will be hard. If it’s cold Groomers will go out

If you like banging a couple hundred miles a day or more you probably won’t like it

If you want to go pick around and explore you will probably be ok
All I can show is these two pictures and you can be the judge. It’s not the trail but it will show how much we lost in general
We have parking out back for those who want to go riding and avoid town

If everyone gets scared and don’t come I’ll take advantage of it and go for a ride 🙂

I just told a guy worse case there are many things you could do if you don’t like the sledding. I can recommend some nice places and businesses to Visit if you come up this weekend 🙂

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA – 2/15

Due to the warm temps and rain we will not be out grooming until further notice. We did not loose all of our snow and temps are suppose to fall all day and through tomorrow. If you would like to come up and ride then we suggest trailering north. Be cautious if you do ride as water holes may opened backup and other hazards could be exposed from melting snow. Plowed dirt roads are ice covered and very slick. As soon as we have more details on trial conditions we will let everyone know. In the mean time start dancing.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> 1-11-26
Around 4 inches of snow last night. I see the groomers all made it out. I would guess the trails should freeze up flat now.
I would imagine it will be lower traffic during the week. It would be a pretty good week to ride if you can sneak away! #newberry #snowphotos

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread snow will begin to spread west to east this morning while a heavier snowband looks to set up in the central UP this afternoon. Uncertainty still remains where this snowband will park, however, heavy snowfall rates will likely create difficult travel along US-41 from Delta to Marquette/Alger counties. Tonight, widespread snow transitions to lake effect snow for the north wind snowbelts.

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Bergland Area Groomer's report for 1-9-26. Friday evenings groom.
The good and the bad.
First we'll start with the good. Everything in our system will be groomed tonight before you all wake up.
The Trail's were in very bad shape. Heavy traffic, and warm Temp's, we kinda expected as much.
We had one machine leave early (4pm). Snow was rolling through the drag and blade but everything started freezing in tight quickly and traffic over a fresh groomed trail we started getting sugar snow. (Which doesn't pack well). There's plenty of snow out there but we need some new to help improve what we're working with. They are calling for a couple inches tomorrow which will help bring the moisture back.
We'll keep plugging away and get everything back in shape but it will take a few passes... Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotos
