PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/16
1/16/25 21 degrees this morning and cloudy. I picked up about 2" of fresh snow on my deck last night, looks like more is coming for the next few days too!! Here`s what went on yesterday…… Groomer Dave ran the South trail #8 and called it fair-good. There are still a few thin spots and the water at the south end of the power line is gettin smaller and easy to get around. The Federal Forest section is really thin for snow and the water holes at the south end are still pretty big. You can get around them but its tough. A better option is head out to M-123 down Curley Lewis and ride the ditch until you can pick up the trail about a half mile down.
Groomer Ben ran the Point trails and called them good with a couple of minor thin spots to deal with on the Doe Lake Rd. section.
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trail and called it good with just a couple of minor thin spots but they are gettin better every day.
Groomer Mike C. was gonna head into the Falls trail #45 last night to work on it as soon as a machine became available. Haven`t heard from him this morning yet so can`t give ya`s any details.
All in all our trail system is in good shape sans a couple of swampy areas. We are working on them VERY hard and hope to get them open soon!!!! I heard the Paradise area is gettin a bad rap. We don`t deserve it!!!! We have a lot of swampy areas that we have to deal with and we can`t do nutin about it. We can`t just run reroutes around everything and cut new trails like some of these knuckle heads are suggesting!!! The snow and COLD temps I see coming will help tremendously.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Halfway Lake Cottages, LLC >> When they closed the doctors offices last night because of conditions then we woke to about 6 inches of snow on top of ice, Chris decided to stay home. He spent 5 hours plowing then we went for a ride. We took 9 to Pine Stump and back and it was an amazing ride minus the sleeping child riding with me! We passed the groomer on the way there and on the way back! The picture of our backs is actually from the TASA page! Hey - it’s a family picture! 😂 #newberry#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
You may have been one of the few groups I saw today. Pretty sure I saw you on 9 today. My favorite trail in Michigan but it has taken 5 of my helmets peaks this winter. I plan on doing some brushing this summer on 9.
