Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/15
1/15/24 7 degrees this morning and cloudy. We got a couple inches of snow last night on top of the couple yesterday. I`ve got some good news and I`m afraid I got some bad too. Lets start with the good…… Groomer Kevin went around the Point trails and called them fair to good. A couple of thin spots on top of the far east ridge but more good than anything else. I got the town trail set but that is about it cause this happened….read on…. Groomer Mike H. had a big problem on the Falls trail. Long story short he sunk a groomer in a DEEP mud hole. We did get it out eventually but it took our other 2 machines and a lot of work. Groomer Mike C. got called off his run to Pine Stump and we had to wait for Kevin to finish up the Point trails to go rescue the other Mike. Once we got the groomer outa the mud hole it died so we had to tow it back to the barn. Today we are gonna work on the dead groomer, hopefully its nothing serious. We will then hit the Stump trail tomorrow and come up with a plan for the rest depending how our dead groomer works out. PLEASE people, do not go around the closed gates! Case in point here is the sunk groomer. A sled would have disappeared in that hole! OK, enough of that. We should be good to go on the high ground trails for this weekend, I kinda have my doubts on the Falls trail and South trail but we have the whole week to work on them and we WILL bust our butts to try and get them open.

Minus 5 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. No new snow in the last 24 hrs. but we do have about 3 feet of snow on the ground so no worries...LOL. Here`s whats been happening since my last report a couple days ago......
No bad news...the machines have been running beautifully....Mother Nature has been cooperating perfectly....and our trails are EXCELLENT!!!!
The Falls trail #45, the Point trails #452 & #453 and the South trail #8 all fall into that catagory. The only blip on the radar is on the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 but it is only minor. Our section of trail #9 is still being plowed down from the Stump to the East branch of the Two Heart by the loggers. It is no big deal, just take trail #8 around instead of #9, just like the old days. Its a touch longer but you`re out there to enjoy the ride.....right? On the bright side, they are done up by Crisp Point but it will take us a couple trips to get that back in great shape.
Where is everybody?? Its been awful slow around here. COME ON U.P., You are missing out!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
