Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/26
January 26, 2021 15 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. It looks like it is gonna stay cool for the next week with highs in the low 20`s and lows in the low teens but just a slight chance of snow anywhere around here. This just sucks!! I am really starting to regret putting out these reports with nothing positive to say other than the cold weather to hang around…..WE REALLY NEED SNOW!!!!!!! I see other reports from around the area that they are grooming but we just don`t have the snow here that other areas have. I want you all to understand something….we are ready, willing and able to hit the trails with our groomers once we get some snow. We don`t want to beat up our equipment on frozen dirt and ice now and then when we FINALLY get snow we are down with broken groomers!! When I groomed last Saturday I broke a cutting blade and a spreader blade on a drag and I was being really careful and going only 4-5 MPH…it was a long trip! I have received a few e-mails asking if our trails are even open. The answer is YES they are with the exception of the 3 mile section of swamp south of town. There is some sections with decent snow that we can rate as good-fair and some sections that are poor due to the lack of snow. I`ll be watching the weather close and hoping for some snow and something positive to report. Remember, I will NEVER sugar coat a thing for you! It is what it is and we can`t do nutin bout it. Ya`ll do your best snow dances!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
