Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/19

Trail Report…..

Water holes are freezing up with our Temps in the single digits….expecting the same again tonight….

Still no new snow …3 days straight
approx 2-6′ snow on ground…. very little snowmachine traffic on our trail system.. No grooming till we get snow…….

Expecting snow/rain by sunday eveining into monday and temps dropping….Major snow storm expected by wednesday…depending on wich direction the storm tracks…we could bet up to 24′ over the Christmas -New years week..

**Still watching that potential storm for the Christmas Holiday Period next Tuesday through Christmas Day.

All computer models indicate something is going to develop and affect us. It is a matter of timing, path and strength differences between what the data suggests.

Still going with some rain/snow Tuesday then changing over to snow Wednesday with the wind and snow picking up Christmas Eve night and through Christmas Day. Will continue to monitor this the next several day and post updates on here through the period. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine today because more cloudiness rolls in for this weekend** via Jim Lehocky meteroligst…

Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/18

Trail Report…… Thursday Dec,18th, 2014….

We had low temps last night 12 degrees and in Single Digits for tonight….

2-4 ‘ of new snow over last 2 days….

This is ideal setup for our new start to trail grooming

Last weeks abnormal 40 degrees temps…3/4′ of rain have let us with a new start to trail work….

Cold single digit temps and little snow will drive frost into wet areas faster …now with a huge storm predicted for Christmas holidays …it should set us up for starting trail grooming NEXT WEEK….

We will keep you posted…Patience is a virtue at this time…riding is minimal..

All trails have wet areas and little snow… our lake effect snow belts change trail conditions from mile to mile…with low trail use there is a covering of snow on everthing but wet areas…

Trail #8 NORTH of Paradise,MI.
Trail # 452 accessed off North trail #8
are the ONLY 2 trails that are navigable at best… with 4-5 waters holes on each…..no reports at this time on recent conditions…but ‘not good’ i would expect…

Die -Hards and cabin owners might find some riding no problem …but for family groups expecting soft groomed trails and easy riding, will be disappointed..

HOPE THIS helps………
