Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/24
February 24, 2022 7 degrees this morning and cloudy. No new snow yesterday or last night but boy have we been hammered the couple days before! Sorry for no new reports since Monday but I have been a VERY busy man digging out and grooming. I haven`t given you a full run down on our system for a while so here we go……. First off, remember we have a machine down, more on that at the end. Groomer Kevin ran the Falls trail #45 last night and rated it as very good to excellent. I ran the South trail #8 yesterday and will call it excellent. Even in the narrow sections (which tend to get bumpy) like the swamp and the federal forest section. The Pine Stump trail #8 is rated at good to very good but there still is a lot of drift issues out in "siberia". Groomer Mike C. is gonna hit that trail today. The Point trails #452 and #453 are only rated as good. This is because they are a tad bumpy cause they have not been run in a few days. Groomer Glenn is gonna hit them today as well. So thats the trails, here`s the rest of the story…… Like I said, we have a machine down. We got it figured out what we need to get it back up. We are ordering parts today so it just depends on how long it will take for them to get here. We still haven`t found the long lost wheel and tire out on trail #452. If you find it, please return it to us. That will save us about $1000. Since we are runnin a 2 machine schedule now, some of the trails won`t get run everyday. There simply isn`t enough time in a day to do that. We will run the Falls trail #45 everyday cause thats the shortest run we have and the busiest trail we have. We will run the other trails every other day but try to double up on the weekends. We are probably lookin at a couple weeks before we can get the other machine going. Soooo……thats what we have going. Please cut us some slack if you run across a bumpy trail, its outa our control. RIDE RIGHT and RIDE SAFE and, as always…… LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <> <> 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.

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

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