Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/01
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 03/01
3/1/25
2 degrees this morning under a partly cloudy sky. Yesterday was an interesting day for sure….it snowed and blowed all day and was quite nasty out der!!! We did get 6-8" plus with a lot of drifting!!! I got lots of good news and a touch of bad so lets get to it.
First the good. Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails and called them good. Heavy drifting in "siberia" of course.
Groomer Ben hit the Point trails and called them great.
Groomer Gerald ran the Falls trail and called that good.
Groomer Mike C. ran the South trail #8 and called that great…now the bad news part….the swamp south of town opened up big time. He barely made it thru with the groomer and we had to close it down, THE GATES ARE CLOSED, don`t go around them, you will get wet or stuck!!!! The 46 degree day and sunny last Monday really brought the water level up in der. I went thru there on Tuesday with a groomer and broke thru in a lot of places. I then went back on Wednesday with just a machine and spent half the day in there and filled in all the water holes. That lasted just one day and it opened up again….its the high water…..then when Mike went thru there yesterday he barely made it. It just doesn`t make sence to go in there and try and fix it again especially when the temps are gonna rise next week for a few days….sorry…..it sucks. The DNR and law enforcement are aware of the situation. You can ride the UNPLOWED portion of M-123 from the river mouth to the south end of town but the law WILL be watching…UNPLOWED portion is the main word here folks!!!
It looks like March will be up and down on temps (normal) but with all the snow this year the trails will hold up nice. I can see them lasting thru March unless something drastic happens with the temps!
COME ON U.P.!!!! Times a wasting!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris
