PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI – 12/04
12/4/24 26 degrees this morning and snowing……still. It hasn`t quit since my last report a few days ago! We now have a solid 3 feet on the ground and we are under a winter storm warning till tomorrow night….oh boy…..I`m hoping the wind don`t pick up like they are saying!
We have had the groomers out. Groomer Mike C. took a machine with a drag and ran up to Chic`s corner to clear trees, he ran the North and South loops outa town also. He was surprised at how many trees were down and quite a bit of water under the snow too. I took just a machine and ran into town and set the town trail.
We had a drivers mtg. last night and came up with a plan, so here it is…..With this storm coming we are gonna stay outa the woods till Friday then we will take a machine out trail #8 to Pine Stump to clear trees and pack it in. We will also take a machine around the Point trails #452 & #453 and do the same. Sunday we will take 2 machines and head south on trail #8. We are gonna skip the swamp just south of town and start at the river mouth. The reason for skipping the swamp is it looks like we have a slight warm up coming for next week and with the ground not froze yet we would do more damage than good, same for trail #45 to the Falls, we will get on these trails as soon as the weather lets us.
If you decide to come UP for the weekend I say GO FOR IT!!!! Tons of powder to play in, just a couple of sections not quite ready. Keep a sharp eye for trees down and some water under the snow. OK, ya`ll got the skinny for the next few days!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please don`t warm up too much Groomer Chris

SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Our groomers are out heading up Trail 43. We have a lot of brush to clear. We will only be doing up to trail 440 then heading back over to M-77 and doing all of Trail 440. We have a lot of work that needs to be done. The groomer trackers should be up and running by Saturday. We hope to get the Pisten Bully fixed also Saturday. That broke a belt on the first trip out on Sunday unfortunately. The groomers do plan on doing a tandem run tomorrow to the bear trap to get that trail in good shape. Please be patient. We are doing our best to get everything in good shape. #seney #newberry#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
