EMERGENCY ALERT: There have been truck and trailers parked in the Landing Zone at the corner of the Charcoal Grade and Laurel Lake Rd. This space is POSTED LANDING ZONE!! The space was created by the DNR for Emergency Helicopter Medivac situations in the event of an accident. Please do not park in the Landing Zone!

Traffic Hazard: When leaving the staging area in town and going past the Logging Museum snowmobiles must ride with the flow of traffic. This means if you are going North ride the East side of the road and when returning South ride the West side of the road. Ride with the flow of traffic. Please and Thank You!

We have had a few opportunities over the past week with mechanical issues on the machines. We will have a loaner machine today while the vendor repairs our new machine. The trails are in good to great condition and we have been working one machine 24/7 over the past few days. We will be back to two machines today and hopefully the third one tomorrow if the parts arrive today. We anticipate picking up a few inches each day this week, through the end of the week. Updates are listed below. As always we want to encourage safe and responsible riding!! Please ride with caution.

Stay on the Trail!! Ride Right and Be Safe!! Please be respectful of private property, howbeit it fields or peoples front yards.

Curfew in the Village of Newberry is 11:00pm to 7:00am.

Trail 9: Groomed Sunday night and will groom tonight. Good to very good!

Trail 45: Groomed last night and will groom again tomorrow night. Good to very good.

CAUTION AREA!!!! There is logging off of Trail 45 before Camp Snort.

Trial 9/2 South: Groomed last night to H-40 in Rexton and we will groom down to Cut River today.

Your grooming team from the TASA Barn!!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Mixed precipitation, mainly of rain and snow, will spread west to east across the UP tonight into tomorrow morning. Pockets of freezing rain could also mix in at onset and lead to a light glaze of ice on roadways for the Tuesday morning commute. Heavy lake effect snow will then be reinvigorated with a secondary cold front Tuesday night into Wednesday morning across the N and NW wind snow belts. This will combine with northerly winds of 40 to 50 mph, resulting in blowing snow and near zero visibilities for the Wednesday morning commute. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaMixed precipitation, mainly of rain and snow, will spread west to east across the UP tonight into tomorrow morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The week starts out dry today with temperatures climbing above freezing across the UP. The next system brings a mix of rain and snow on Tuesday before temperatures turn sharply colder Tuesday night, followed by a round of potentially heavy lake effect snow in the north wind snow belts on Wednesday. Quieter weather on Thursday then gives way to another chance of snow with the next system on Friday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThe week starts out dry today with temperatures climbing above freezing across the UP.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> It's noon here on Monday, January 12th, and this week does present a couple instances of lake effect snow throughout the week. As a preliminary first call for the entire week, we've displayed current odds at areas receiving more than 4" of snow based on data from medium range models, and the WPC.
Most of the lake effect snow for the UP will fall between Tuesday and Thursday, where much of the higher elevation areas along Lake Superior currently have a greater than 50% chance at 4" of snow by the end of the work week. For much of the LP, lake effect snow will be confined primarily to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, especially AFTER Wednesday heading into Thursday. We are keeping an area of 1-20% across much of southern and central Michigan in the event wind shifts or passing clippers allow for extra accumulation, but the greatest chances for 4" will be in the far southwest corner, the thumb, or your typical lake effect zones across northern lower Michigan.
We have lake effect snow forecasts coming all week, along with other forecasts for other weather phenomena such as wind, rain, and perhaps mixed precipitation.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> 1-11-26
Around 4 inches of snow last night. I see the groomers all made it out. I would guess the trails should freeze up flat now.
I would imagine it will be lower traffic during the week. It would be a pretty good week to ride if you can sneak away! #newberry #snowphotos

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Quieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning. A weak clipper system will bring another round of light snow tonight, but only expect another inch or so of accumulation in most locations. After another quiet day on Monday, another system brings a mix of rain and snow to the area on Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaQuieter weather settles in across the U.P. today as lingering snow showers tapering off this morning.
