Dec 31- Jan 1 we added 5-14" in our region. Last night we added an additional 2" here at Halfway Lake and we have about 2 feet of snow on snow gauge. Our area has seen over 6 feet of snowfall this season. There is less snow south towards Newberry and more snow north towards Lk Superior. Our temps have been overall cold but we have lucked out with a couple of random days of warmer weather, helping firm up the base without losing a lot of snow.
Our guests are talking about how awesome the trails and county roads are leading towards Lk Superior, Grand Marais, and Paradise. We are hearing great-excellent ratings with the exception of south of here- the trail into/out of Newberry headed east and west is commonly rated fair-good. At this time, TASA is grooming three trails with two groomers so each trail will be skipped occasionally. I was told trail 9 would be groomed through the weekend.
Surround yourself in lake effect snow and ride a different direction each day! We are located 12 mi NW of Newberry (Halfway to Lk Superior) and 7 miles south of Pine Stump Junction. Between Grand Marais and Paradise. Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association grooms over 125 miles of trails that interconnect to hundreds of miles of trails groomed by local associations

Riders have been rating the trails good-very good overall with a few problem locations. Trail 45 from Newberry towards Paradise was reported to be fair-good by multiple groups. As always, please ride with caution, particularly in the swampy area. One person reported a log and a stick poking up in the trail. Hopefully, that has been resolved.
We have talked with groups that have ridden towards Seney, Munising, Naubinway, Grand Marais, Curtis and Paradise. There is more snow as you get closer to Lk Superior. Trail 8 from Pinestump-Paradise is reported to be awesome. We have heard reports of an ice heave on N Manistique Lk in Curtis. High traffic trails such as 9 and are found to be smooth in the afternoon but bumpy in the evening.
