Grand Marais Trail Report – 12/29
GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 12/29
From Emmett last night-The north run went nice a lot more snow and a lot less ice. Looking sweet.
<>
From Travis-East trail had a lot of traffic but had very good conditions for grooming last night so they cleaned up nicely. Jeff got some good footage of me operating when we went out the day before on East. Lots of happy riders and we’re staying on top of everything. And logging trucks are still running 416 so riders should be mindful for that stretch (picture)

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 2/2/25
19 degrees this morning and snowin- n- blowing! Picked up maybe an inch or two last night and "they" are calling for an inch or two more today. Good news/bad news for the trails so lets get to it......
Very heavy traffic this weekend so bad news is they got pretty beat up. Good news is they all groomed up nice. Groomer Mike C. ran the Pine Stump trails and reported them good. Groomer Mike H. hit the Falls trail and reported it as good plus after he got done. We did not hit the Point trails yesterday but they are gettin run as I type this.
Now a little bad.....we had a break down Friday on the South trail. Only the first 15 miles or so got run cause we sprung a hydraulic leak and had to limp the machine back to the barn...luckily Groomer Dave made it back. Soooo.....if you were riding the South trail late Friday or early Saturday you ran into some pretty rough stuff. Good news is we got it fixed Friday night and I ran the trail Saturday and it groomed up nice. A little more bad news is a water hole opened up in da swamp Saturday late afternoon. It was about 5' long and 3' deep and all across the trail so it was difficult to get around. Good news is I got it filled in on my way back thru, it wasn`t there on my way out, and its all good now. This futher shows why I say slow down and take it easy in that section!
Speaking of slowing down. We had A LOT of speed freaks out on the trails this weekend. PLEASE SLOW DOWN when the trails are busy!!!!! Imagine flying around a corner and hittin a family with kids just because you are being an idiot and thinking you`re Jonny racer!!! SLOW THE HELL DOWN PEOPLE on busy weekends or any time for that matter. Groomer Mike H. even had some sleds fly by him at 60-70 MPH in the machine!!! SLOW THE HELL DOWN PEOPLE!!!!!! When you come up on a groomer we expect you to pass by at a walking speed!!!
All I have for today.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Ongoing snow this morning will taper off from west to east through the early afternoon. Our attention then turns to a system traversing the Midwest early Monday, bringing snowfall to the southern UP. Moderate to heavy snow will create hazardous travel conditions before and during the Monday morning commute! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaOngoing snow this morning will taper off from west to east through the early afternoon.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> If you like winter it’s a perfect weekend!!!
We have a lot of snow and it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon!!
Snowshoe trail is all groomed!!! #newberry #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Snow will spread across Upper Michigan late this afternoon and evening with occasional snow then continuing through tonight. The snow will diminish from west to east on Sunday. By late Sunday morning, expect 2 to 4 inches of snow accumulation, but locally up to around 5 inches of snow is possible on the Keweenaw. As a result, plan on slippery road conditions tonight into Sunday morning. Looking to Sunday night, windy conditions are expected on the Keweenaw as winds will gust to 35 to 45 mph. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaSnow will spread across Upper Michigan late this afternoon and evening with occasional snow then continuing through tonight.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Off like a herd of turtles!
8PM.
O.K. for those that would like to express your opinion on the condition of 9 coming out of Newberry, we know, we're kinda good at this, and we know people😉
I would also invite you to go ride it right now, and get back with us.
( and it'll be hit again yet tonight )
I'd also like to say, what we need to do to this trail tonight to remove what you rode up and down, and up and down, and up and down on, requires a great deal of focus, leaving Newberry with all that traffic was absolutely no fun, and we don't do the trail justice wig wagging around sleds, it would be self defeating doing this during the day and there'd just be that many more of you bottle necking with us!
9Pm
The ride in and out of Windy Corners., now perfect, it was ugly.
945
Pretty much all ugly, like the morning after a three day! #newberry #snowphotos
