Newberry Area Trail Report – 01/05
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Halfway Lake Cottages, LLC >> 01/05 Had a great day on the trails today – probably best ride we have had in many years! Trail 9 was awesome – ride from here to Pine Stump and back! Only complaint was Sophia still fell asleep! 😀 We did see and report the burned sled – it was removed quickly so not still there! We pray everyone is ok from that! <> <> NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Trail Update: 1/5/2024 We groomed 9 North 498 and 45 to the falls. Looking at Groomer Tracker Seney made their way across 431 to us and Grand Marais came across 8 over to us as well. Should be a great Sunday. It snowed on and off all weekend. I think we’ve picked up between 8 and 10 inches of lake affect in the north country. We did run 45 to the falls and opened the gates. There are atill a couple of water holes on either side of 510 that we are going to try to address today. There were some down trees as well. Make sure to give a big thanks to all our drivers and volunteers keeping things going. <> <> <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association Trail Report <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association on Facebook <> Visit Newberry Area Tourism Association on Facebook <> SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Here’s the current trail update so everyone knows. All our trails north of M-28 are in good shape. Trail 43 heading south is not currently being groomed due to loggers are down there and the rd is being plowed. Nothing we can do about that sorry folks. It’s rideable but not great. Trail 43 has a couple water holes and we have detour signs up to avoid that area. Once it freezes in we will take the signs down and reopen that part of the trail. Trail 431 is in great shape. Trail 440 is in great shape. Trail 8 to the Bear trap is in great shape. We do have 2 park in rides one is in Seney and the other is off M-77 north of Seney about 4 miles. If you’re planing on coming up you are good to go. We know there’s not much snow in the lower and south of M-28 but once your to the north of M-28 it is good. If you have a trip planed come on up and enjoy it. Remember ride right and stay safe out there. #seney #newberry WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Today will see some of the strongest lake effect snow of the week for Marquette and Alger counties with light lake effect snow expected elsewhere along Lake Superior.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> We wouldn’t blame you if you thought the forecast ahead sounded like a broken record. Consistent light lake effect snow is expected through the first half of the week ahead with a fluffy 1-2 inches of snow expected daily in the NW wind lake effect snow bands. Meanwhile, highs will mainly be in the teens to lower 20s with lows in the single digits. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaWe wouldn’t blame you if you thought the forecast ahead sounded like a broken record.

15 degrees this morning under partly cloudy skies. No new snow to speak of in the last couple days, don`t really see any coming in the next few days either....bummer.
I was talking with da boss yesterday and we came up with a grand plan for the next few days. We will take today off and do a little maintenance on the machines. Tomorrow we will run the high ground trails, Pine Stump and the Point trails. Thursday I am gonna take a machine and a drag and go check out trail #8 south then Friday we will take 2 machines and check out the water situation on the Falls trail #45 then Saturday hit the high ground trails again. We will go by what the Falls trail looks like before we even think about going into the swamp south of town.
Just an FYI. The water levels in the wet area`s are the highest we have ever seen cause of all the snow we had early in December and then it all melted. This is the reason we are having such a hard time in the Falls trail and the trail south of town, even in the Federal forest section where that is really flooded in there. We are hoping the last few days have drained some of the water and the cold temps have froze some of it in. Now ya`ll know what da plan is, soooo..........
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17 degrees this morning and cloudy. We only picked up about an inch of snow from yesterday and last night. Sure wish that storm thats hittin south would have swung this way! We sure could use the snow!!!! Here`s what went on yesterday for the trails........
Groomer Mike H. hit the Point trails #452 and #453 and called them fair to good. Still some thin spots here an there and he said a little snirt is kicking up in some corners.
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trail #8 and called that one good with some thin spots also.
The other groomer was out and about touching up the trails close to town. Not sure who was operating it tho. Will have to get with da boss today and see what his plans are for the Falls trail #45 and the swamp south of town.
All fer now
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
