Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/05
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 02/05 2/5/25 Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails 8 & 9 and called them good. As usual, there is some drifting in "siberia" so be careful in that section. Groomer Gerald ran the Falls trail #45 and called that good. Now we get to Groomer Mike H. He`s our comic relief at da barn. He`s got his own rating system and he always dares me to use it but I can`t cause I`m afraid I`ll offend someone. He ran the Point trails #452 and #452 and lets just say he calls them excellent! Soooo……it doesn`t get any better folks. The weather is great…..the trails are great and the traffic is kinda low. Paradise is a little slow this year???? Don`t know why. I know my business is unusually slow. Come on over to a smaller town and enjoy it here. Shorter wait at the restaurants and gas stations.

We did get about 4 to 6 inches of wet heavy snow. We didn’t get enough to send out the groomers. We will do more damage than good if we send them out. They are calling for 40 deg temps tomorrow. If it cools down next week and we get more snow and we can send them out we will. If you want to get a last ride in your best bet is to trailer north and unload up there and ride. #seney #newberry GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Well we got some snow overnight. Its not perfect, but it's workable. I just ran town loop to see how it was. We are going to groom all trails today. Come on up to the U.P.

15 degrees this morning and cloudy. I picked up about 2" of snow last night on my deck and it looks like more is coming according to the weather guessers. We have at least 3′ on the ground in case you are wondering. Nothing but good news from yesterday so here we go…….
Groomer Ben ran the South trail #8 but I haven`t heard from him but I gotta assume its in great shape too.

I know they are calling for more snow Sunday but we will be close the 23rd -28th while we go spend some down time with the kids! They are growing up fast so we are going to enjoy it while we can! #newberry #snowphotos 
Thanks for all the condolences, it helped and meant a lot to me.
Lets talk about the trails.....and the weather.....
36 degrees this morning and sunny as I write this, it was 30 this morning when I crawled outa bed. "They" are saying about 40 today and then drop to around 10 tonight with a little snow.....sounds good to me.
I took a drive around yesterday (I don`t own a sled anymore) and looked at the trails. From what I saw they looked great! Fresh snow from the night before and they were FLAT.
The temps for next week are supposed to see-saw back an forth. If I was you I would get my bunnies U.P. here soon for one last ride!!!!! Ya never know how crazy things will get this time of year.
So......there ya have it.....my professional opinion....LOL

Our west trail will be a partial groom. The section of 89 and trail 8 from the park and ride at Adams Trail road up to 89 will not get groomed. The section runs on H58, and the blacktop has warmth on it and making slushy conditions. The edges are frozen and just chunk into ice chunks if we try to groom them. Ride right, and ride safe.
Trail boss Al #grandmarais #newberry #snowphotos
Well, I`m back. Thanks to Joann for giving a couple reports on the trails while I was gone. I lost my Mom so I had a good excuse:(. Sooo....here we go for a good trail run down.
28 degrees this morning and the sun is trying to poke out. I got a solid 4" of wet heavy snow here at my place last night. I heard out by Pine Stump they got a bit more. We still have a good 2 feet on the ground. Its supposed to be sunny and around mid 30's today which will thaw out all the roads again and then cool off for the weekend. If you are thinking about one last ride this weekend I say GO FOR IT!!!!
Trails #8 & 9 to Pine Stump are still in good shape.
Trails #452 & 453 around the Point are also in good shape.
Trail #45 to the Falls is also in good shape but you may find some water here an there.
Trail #8 south is still good except for the swamp of course. You may find some water opening up on the power line and in the Federal Forest tho.
All trails are hard and flat but this snow we got last night will help a lot with cooling and the warmer temps will soften them up. We don`t plan on gettin the groomers out unless the traffic gets heavy...but I doubt that....the trails will hold up fine cause they were so hard and icey.
Come on U.P. for one last ride!!!!! The season is closing up fast.
Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry
If it was me I would come up and get one more ride in! This weekend should be fine to the north
I just hope this snow doesn’t sit here with nobody enjoying it .
Cabins are booked up this weekend #newberry #snowphotos
Happy trails to you until we meet again
