Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/11
1/11/24
23 degrees this morning with a light snow floating around in the air. It looks like the weather is gonna finally cooperate. Its gonna cool WAY off and we are even under a winter storm watch starting tomorrow thru Saturday. I`ve seen various reports from 2-10″.
I`ve seen a few reports from the locals riding around here. It doesn`t look too bad if you stay on the high ground. If you want to come UP this weekend you could, just expect early season riding, you`ll be hittin some rocks and sticks but it can be done. The Falls trail #45 and the south trail #8 is still WAY to muddy and the gates remain closed on those sections. The Pine Stump trail #8 and the Point trails #452 & #453 are ridable. Nothing is groomed cause we just don`t have enough snow at this time but if we get this storm “they” are talking about for this weekend we might be able to get the groomers out. We need about a foot to do that so we don`t beat the hell outa our machines.
Just thought I would jump on here and give ya`ll a quick update. If you got the itch bad and want to come UP you can go for it but just expect early season ridin!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Rode out to Grand Marais yesterday and had an absolute blast. Sometimes imperfect trails are the most fun. A little thin getting into GM the last couple miles but easily passable. At 7 pm we were their second table of the day. Saw 1 other group of 5. Chris’s ski snapped in Siberia on the way back- wish I had a video of him leaning to the right all the way home🤣

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> If you have post-travel plans to or from lower MI Thursday night into Friday, be aware of the potential for light snow and freezing rain to impact travel, especially over parts of the Lower Peninsula. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaIf you have post-travel plans to or from lower MI Thursday night into Friday, be aware of the potential for light snow and freezing rain to impact travel, especially over parts of the Lower Peninsula. #906wx #miwx
WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> I'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday. Snowfall accumulations could be 1-2', if not higher, as high-res model guidance comes in when we get closer.
Another lake-effect snow event is increasingly likely behind an arctic front next Wednesday night through Friday, which we will need to keep an eye on. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyI'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday.

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/22/25
12 degrees this morning under a mostly clear sky. Here`s the trail report on how things went yesterday.....
We took 2 machines w/o drags and headed out on the Falls trail #45. Unfortunately I can`t give you any good news. It was U.G.L.Y. In fact, da boss said it was the worst he`s ever seen....bummer. He did say you could make it from the Upper Falls to the Lower to get fuel at the Lower but be careful. From the Lower Falls to Paradise IS NOT PASSABLE!!! There is a video on our FB page to show you how bad it was. We need more snow and cold to even try this again in a groomer. Word of warning.....it is ILLEGAL to ride on M-123 from town to the Falls! Nothing else was run, we need more snow. The Point trails are ridable and the Pine Stump trail is also but thin in a lot of spots. We haven`t ran south on trail #8 since last weekend either. Simply put, we need more snow. This weeks forecast doesn`t look that promising for any great amounts either. Sorry for all the bad news......just being honest.
I`ll let ya`ll know when things start improving.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Alright!

(Only station we almost get out here!)
If you took the week off to be here and ride, you did Way Good! It's working up perfect, but kinda started there to begin with, corners still all covered and flat, very little chatter anywhere. Sunday night, traffic has slowed. Pine Stump bound! 8:51
It's just incredible out here, tonight is the night Better Cabins & Trails needs to show up and get pics! 😍 #newberry #snowphotos
