Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/08
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/08 1/8/25 Groomer Mike H. ran the Point trails #452 and #453 yesterday and called them good +. The thin spots are gettin better but he did skip the ridge along Doe Lake road cause thats still pretty thin, but still ridable, you`ll hit a lot of roots so be careful. Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trail #8 and called that good with the thin spots gettin better also. The rest of yesterday report still holds. With these colder temps I have high hopes we can start freezing in the wet areas so keep checking back. All I have fer today. <> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Few pics from grooming today. Pics are from trails 440 and 43.

All our trails north of M-28 are in good to great shape. Trail 43 heading south is not currently being groomed due to loggers. They are working down there and the road is being plowed from Seney to 10 Curves Rd. We haven't been down there to get the current conditions. We hear from riders It’s rideable but not great, the skis hit rocks and the road is ruff from the all the logging trucks. Nothing we can do about that sorry folks. Trail 43 north of Seney has a couple water holes to contend with 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 & Rides one is in Seney, and the other one is off M-77 north of Seney about 4 miles just past The Fox River. If you’re planing on coming up you are good to go. We know there’s not much snow in the lower and taking a trip up here don't seem to promising. But once you cross the bridge and you get about 5 miles south of M-28 you'll see snow. The snow gets deeper the further north of M-28 you go and the riding is good. If you have a trip planed come on up and enjoy it. Remember ride right and stay safe out there. Consider this the most current trail update. #seney #newberry GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> A Grand Marais icon turned 90 yesterday and he got to celebrate on his snowmobile. Herm Tester got to ride his Artic Cat out to 7 mile Hill and back. Son, Gordon got his sled up and running, several friends guided his ride and he returned to a favorite post ride treat, pineapple upside down cake. Awesome. Happy Birthday Herm!! That's great.

We have recently restarted the freeze down efforts on wet sections of trail 43, South of Sandtown Rd and also Trail 43 West of Curtis between Barrett Rd and Long Point Rd. There are also logging operations on two sections of the trail between Barrett Rd and Wolf Rd. Trail is rutted with very thin snow.
Trail 2, North of H40 (Hiawatha Trail) is also being logged, again rutted with thin snow cover.
Due to the overall lack of snow and wet areas, we have not groomed since the meltdown. We have been getting colder temps in aiding with the freeze down, but desperately needing more snow to work with.
As with most LE snows, snow cover does vary, the further north you go the snow depths do improve. #curtis #newberry #snowphotos

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
