Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/15

December 15, 2017

18 degrees this morning and cloudy. Looks like we picked up a couple of inches of fluff last night. The weather guessers are calling for 4-8 inches today for UP here!!! We`ll see what happens.

Here`s what went on yesterday. Groomers Mike, Dave, Scott and me showed up at the barn to do some wrenching. All went well and we got all three machines out and runnin. Me and Dave took the new machine towards town on trail #45 but ran into a huge water hole half way there. Being we had the new groomer and no back-up we just turned around….this hole was deep and we didn`t want to bury the new groomer already. Groomer Scott took our oldest machine and headed towards town on the other side of the road on trail #8. He got about a mile down the trail and smelled anti-freeze and turned around. Turns out the thermastat housing cracked and he was blowing anti-freeze everywhere……and so it begins. We ordered the parts and just packed it up for the day. We were gonna try to run the Falls trail #45 today but put that on hold because we don`t want to run the new groomer thru the mud and we always take two groomers when freezing down trails. So…..thats it for now…..waiting on parts….ALREADY!!!!! Keep checking back and I`ll keep you up to date.

Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/14

December 14, 2017

13 degrees this morning and a light snow is in the air. We`ve picked up maybe 2 inches in the last couple of days. I`ve had many e-mails the last couple days asking me how much snow is on the ground….I`m gonna tell you all now….a solid foot….and thats settled in too.

I`ve also had alot of questions on how the trails look…honest answer….don`t know. We haven`t been out on them yet. I have heard a few ppl. have ridden towards Pine Stump on trail #8 and there are a couple trees down and lots of sticks and branches on it….typical early season riding. I`m willing to bet you can`t get to the Falls on trail #45 yet cause of all the water and the swamp south of town is a no brainer.

Now you may ask…how come you haven`t had the groomers out yet? Let me be blunt….no help. Remember, Paradise is a very small town, maybe 500 ppl. in the winter, and we just don`t have the help anymore. We used to, but those ppl. got up into their 70`s and just can`t do it anymore and the younger generation just doesn`t seem to care…..sad. I have posted several times for help on the trails and some wrenching help on the groomers but to no avail….sad. Nuff on that rant….heres whats going on today.

Me, groomer Mike and groomer Dave and hopefully a couple more are heading out to the barn and do alittle wrenching. We have just one machine to get ready and it should take around 4 hrs…..depending on how much help shows up. We will then discuss what we are gonna do next. Keep checking back, I`ll let ya`ll know what we came up with.
