Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/24
January 24, 2021 23 degrees here this morning with a stiff SE breeze. There is a light snow in the air also. We REALLY need more snow around here. We have only about 8-10 inches on the ground but "they"are calling for around 2 inches today but after that it doesn`t look like much coming for the next week……BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here`s what went on yesterday…… I took a groomer South on trail #8 with new guy Mike H. riding shotgun. I would rate this trail as just fair with some poor spots cause of the thin snow. There are A LOT of sticks and branches in the trail and a few wet spots starting showing up on the way back. Just plain not that good for near the end of January!!!! We did skip the swamp just south of town BTW. Don`t even think about going in there, it is U-G-L-Y. Zach is heading out on trail #8 to Pine Stump today and I think (not sure) Kevin is gonna head out on the Point trails #452 and #453 also. <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Mostly light northwest wind lake effect continues through today, although we may see some half inch per hour rates at times over the east from time to time before it tapers off tonight.

Glenn took a groomer to the Falls on trail #45 and pretty much said the same thing as above.
After today I think we are gonna shut down due to the lack of snow….DARN IT!!!!!!!!!!! If I could use stronger words I would. This no snow thing is REALLY hard on the equipment. I ended up breaking a drag yesterday!
All I got for ya`s for now. Keep checking back and I`ll keep ya`s informed.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11 degrees this morning under partly cloudy skies. I got about 2" of fresh snow on my deck from last night. Nothing new to report on the trails except the loggers are done out by Pine Stump now, we`ll whip that in shape today and all will be good in sno-mo country! Our entire system will be groomed today, all trails are in GREAT SHAPE!!!!
My biggest question is....where is everybody? Its been slow all season U.P. here.....even on the weekends. Ya`ll are missing out. COME ON U.P.!!!!! Quick report as I`m heading out the door to go grooming.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going silent awhile, no go zone, catch up with you in a few hours, sleep tight! 🌜🪐🕗 #newberry #snowphotos
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
