Last night we sent out all three groomers to get a full run on our trails. We are still short on snow everywhere but we do have ice from the melt downs as a base in most places. Overall the system is in fair shape but it could change fast with traffic as we don’t have much snow as a base. There are some water issues that we are still working on so try to keep the speeds down and watch for hazards. On the railroad grade (trail 2) north of the 471 corner (castle rock) we have fixed the beaver plugged culvert but still need more snow and cold to fix the holes. On the Caffey trail (2) west of 473 We also have a deep water hole that hasn’t frozen down yet. South towards St. Ignace on the railroad grade gets very thin south of castle rock and we haven’t been able to groom all the way in to town yet so take it easy if you decide to leave from there. Conditions get better as you head north.
Enjoy the new years weekend coming up and stay safe!!!
We did groom last night. It would appear there is more snow coming Friday night and through next week off and on. The track of the system moving through this weekend has changed multiple hours throughout the day. We could potentially get dumped on or we could end up with a few inches. We are watching this one closely. There are good spots and there are bad spots, along with a lot of traffic. Certainly still early season riding conditions. As always we want to encourage safe and responsible riding!! Please ride with caution.
Ride Right and Be Safe!!
Trail 9: Groomed last night and will groom again tonight. Newberry to the Wolf Inn is Fair. The Wolf Inn North is Fair to Good.
Trail 45: Trail is Fair and was not groomed last night. We will run Trail 45 tonight to County Road 500. We will not open the gate to the Falls until we can access the conditions of the swamp. However there is a CAUTION AREA!!!! There is logging off of Trail 45 before Camp Snort. The gate across the marsh to the FALLS is still closed.
Trial 9/2 South: Groomed last night. Newberry to Rexton and down to Epoufette. Good. We passed close to 70 sleds last night.
We should have the third groomer up and running here shortly and will groom all three trails late this afternoon and through the night.
Your grooming team from the TASA Barn!!
Curfew in the Village of Newberry is 11:00pm to 7:00am.

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/30/26 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry ... See MoreSee Less
