KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> 30 December 2025
I meant to do a video yesterday after the Storm but I spent most of the day moving snow. So we have some trees down again and hope to have them taken care of today and get back to grooming tonight. It was pretty cool meeting Todd while I was doing a trail report today.

Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/01

March 1, 2023

26 degrees this morning and cloudy. Kinda glad to say goodby to February, it wasn`t very kind to us sno-mo people. I want to correct something from yesterdays report. I said we got about 6" of snow but it was closer to 8" if not a touch more! The weather guessers are calling for another couple inches tonight and "they" are watching a big storm coming for Friday….hmmmm. The sun did come out yesterday and that gave the road commission a good chance to scrape down all the side roads…..I HATE the road commission!!!! Now, on to the trails….

I ran the South trail #8 yesterday and its in the best shape I think I`ve seen it all season, even the swamp south of town was good.

Groomer Mike H. ran the Falls trail #45 and gave me his own rating I still can`t print but lets say smooth as glass.
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trail #8 also but I haven`t heard from him. I do know it is in great shape too though.
If this storm comes the trails will be epic for the weekend, if it doesn`t hit us they will still be pretty darn good but the side roads will be tough.

COME ON UP!!!!! You never know if this will be your last chance.

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

EASTERN U.P. UPDATE via Mackinac County Snowmobile Association >> Tuesday December 30
We really got the snow yeaterday. Cut river area seemed to be the winner with claims to 36 inches. St ignace received a foot or more and Trout lake closer to 2ft. With all that snow comes the fun stuff. We did pan what we could last night but had to turn around and could not make it into St ignace do to down trees. We will need a few days to get this storm cleaned up. It is passable to St Ignace by sled but ungroomed until clean up is done. So much snow came at once it will take several passes to get a good hard base again so please be patient with us for a few days while we get things in order. Use extreme caution while riding in our area as there still is branches in the trail. We will update as soon as conditions change. Thank you #soo #straitsarea #newberry #snowphotos

TROUT LAKE AREA UPDATE via The Rail House-Trout Lake MI >> Attempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake. Use caution as there is a downed tree on the backside of the lake. We did not have a chainsaw and were unable to move it on our own. Visibility is better and there are a lot of sleds out. The snow is DEEP. If I had to guess I would say we got 20"+ of snow. Be safe. Be prepared and do not ride alone.
Buckhorn, Trout Lake is open and so is the gas station
Special thanks to RAD Rentals! Our family from Florida is enjoying the snow and their lessons in being a Yooper.
