Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/02
March 2, 2021 15 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. Boy, yesterday sure was a raw day!! It was really windy outa the NW, we had gusts as high as 30 mph here, and it snowed all day. "They" were calling for 3-6-9 inches but from what I can tell we picked up maybe 2. I do have some knee high drifts in my parking lot. While I`m on the subject of weather……It is supposed to warm up starting today and "they" are saying up into the high 30`s and low 40`s by this weekend. Its tough to give you a report on whether its worth a drive up for this weekend but I will say this….there`s riding to be had just expect the roads to be bare and the back roads we use for sno-mo trails are gonna be down to mud. I didn`t get out a report yesterday for how things went on Sunday cause my router burned up and I couldn`t get online. I got it fixed now so here we go…… Mike C. ran the Falls trail #45 Sunday and had his wife with him to take videos. Poor Mike, he must be a glutten for punishment, LOL. She posted a bunch of them on our FB page so check them out. Those should answer all your questions on the conditions of that trail. He rated it as good in some spots and fair in others. Glenn ran the Point trails #452 and #453 and told me he would rate them as good in some spots and fair in others with some real thin spots. The loggers came back in and plowed down Vermillion Rd. again after a couple weeks off. We had it groomed up nice then they wrecked it again….doggone `em.

Dave M. ran the South trail #8 Sunday also. He told me there is a serious lack of snow on this trail and if we don`t get some decent snow we are done with that one. We were hoping for some good snow yesterday but it didn`t seem to happen. He did make it thru the swamp south of town without breaking thru any water holes but it is really bare in there as far as snow goes and there was a lot of standing water on the trail.
Not sure what we are gonna do today. I`ll call da boss this morning and see what he thinks. As far as this weekend goes…… looking at the weather it may be the last decent one. Sure is gonna be a short season…..bummer. Keep checking back, I`ll keep you up to date.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
