I just jumped in a groomer to see if we could groom with the current temps. It was not good. It is too warm, so unfortunately we have to hold of until the temps drop and the snow starts to set up. We will update as soon as we get back grooming the trails. Ride safe!!

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Outfitters Michigan >> ☃❄Winter is in full swing here in Grand Marais, Mich. ❄ These are pics from the last few days.Lots of fresh snow, the trails are groomed and snowy fun to be had for everyone.See you soon! ❄☃ Cole Roelli you see us in the picture? NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Tahquamenon General Store >> Thanks again TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association for doing that 4 mile section tonight. Chad said the moguls were pretty deep. Knocked them down as far as they could. Did hit one water hole he said. They did not go back that way, so the trail can set up! If there's not a lot of sledders the cold tonight should set it up good. ❄️ #newberry <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook

28 degrees this morning and cloudy with a stiff SE wind. Got just a heavy dusting of snow in the last 24 hrs. The temps are gonna get into the upper 30`s today and then drop like a rock with lots of LE "they" are telling me. Got really good news today so lets get to it......
Groomer Mike C. spent ALL DAY yesterday working on trail #45 to the Falls. He busted his butt and got it passable!!!!!! We are gonna open the gates this morning!!!! It is NOT groomed yet. We will stay off of it today cause of the warm temps and will groom it tomorrow. Now, keep in mind, it is ridable but you will find a few wet spots and a few muddy spots so take it easy in there and ride smart. We plan on going into the South swamp on Monday for the second time and see what we got. With these cold temps coming we should be able to make good headway in there.
We plan on runnin the Stump trail and the Point trails today. We are gonna skip the South trail #8 until tomorrow cause of the water holes and the warm temps today.
Sooooo......we`re gettin there, just be a little more patient, the temps will help a bunch. By next weekend all trails should be good to go!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #paradise #newberry

The next week and weekend should be just as good!
Let it snow!! #newberry #snowphotos
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
