TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association made it up with the groomer last night
Not much new snow yet, just a couple inches at best.The forecasters are saying the lake effect bands will set up today it’s trying to snow right now.
If we get a little snow it will be a good weekend. If we get a lot of snow it will be a great weekend. I would think we will get a little snow at least. Let’s hope the big forecasts are correct!
People are out having a good time. The biggest complaint was the trails are rough but the clubs should be able to groom with the cold weather being back.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> The winds howling today!!! Be careful there could be some drifts. All the snow last night just blew around nothing in spots then drifts in others! #newberry#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/4/25 19 degrees this morning with a stiff NW wind. Heavy LE blowing in and out again, same as yesterday. Its hard to tell how much snow we got last night what with the wind but I`ll call it 6", I`ve got drifts about knee high in my parking lot! On to the trails....... Just got off the phone with groomer Mike C. that ran the Stump trail #8. He also brought along trainee Dan. Mike called the trail fair to good. There is only about an inch or two of base on most of it so they hit a lot of gravel and rocks but overall not too bad. Talked to groomer Kevin last night who did the Point trails #452 and #453. He also brought along Ben. He used to groom for us way back when but now re-joined after spending his last 9 winters in a warmer climate. Kevin reported that the trails were in pretty good shape but the ridge along Doe Lake is awful thin as far as snow goes. I took off down trail #8 south with another rookie Dave. Some of that trail was good while some of it was down right ugly. I was surprised by how much water was on the south end of the power line south of the river mouth. The Federal Forest section had a ton of water on it also so the gates on that section remain closed. We will not run this trail again for a few days to give it a chance to freeze up some. I can only imagine the water and mud problems on the Falls trail #45 and the swamp south of town. We are gonna give it a few more days to freeze before we attempt to run in there. Soooo.....trail #8 to Pine Stump is good and the Point trails are good with some thin spots but the trails thru wet lands need a bit more time to freeze up. I was gonna address the logger issue but ya`ll covered it pretty good on our FB page. They are about done anyways. I do want to say I support the loggers, they have to make a living too. LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris #paradise#newberry... See MoreSee Less

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating lake effect snow will continue tonight, primarily for the northwest flow snowbelts. Gusty winds will also be present and will likely lead to spots of blowing snow. Please use caution when traveling as localized heavier snowfall will lead to rapidly changing roadway conditions when driving in and out of heavier bands. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskey #soo #newberryAccumulating lake effect snow will continue tonight, primarily for the northwest flow snowbelts.
