NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> The cool thing about this video is when I left to groom 9 Sunday night, we were still praying for the snow to hit, and I was just working on trail repair, before I got back from this 16hr 91.5 mile run, THIS is what I was working with!!
16 hours included cutting two downed 12-14" pines trees completely across and many other smaller and wind blown debris, lots of stops.
I left green ribbons hanging in the spots I cut the two pines, worried about what I may have missed under the snow. Just careful. #newberry #snowphotos

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
GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Outfitters Michigan >> ❄We made it to the other side of the blizzard. ☃ The 20 or so inches of new snow is something to behold! ❄Power's been restored and we are digging out - See you soon!❄

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/30/25
14 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. About all I can say about the last couple days is HOLY WAH...did we ever get hammered with snow and wind!!!! Its impossible to say how much snow cause of all the wind but I`ll just say plenty! Everyone spent all day yesterday clearing snow and today we are hittin the trails wide open. Here`s what we have planned for the next couple days.......
All 3 machines will be out today. We are sending 2 of them on the Point Trails #452 & #453. One will have a drag and the other will be helping clear trees down, we have reports of several down. The other machine will make its way down the Pine Stump trail #8. I can only imagine the drifting in "Siberia".
Tomorrow we are sending 2 machines, one with a drag the other clearing trees, south on trail #8. We will be skipping the swamp for now and just starting at the river mouth. Not sure right now on the other machine duties. If all goes well we will start working on the Falls trail #45 and then go into the swamp south of town.
It looks like the weather is gonna finally cooperate and its supposed to stay cold and snowy for at least a week or more. We are supposed to get another 6" plus tonight. I tend to not believe the forecast any more than a week out....LOL.
Sooooooo......with all the snow and cold we are gonna run full blast! It may take a day or two to get everything in shape but we`ll try our best!!! If we can get the swamps filled in we`ll be golden....wish us luck.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ride right. Ride safe! #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. Check them out for snowmobile and gear rentals!! #troutlake #newberry #snowphotosAttempt #2... we made the entire loop around the lake.
