Trail leaving town is looking a bit better today, still a lot of wet areas and poor trail conditions reported by groomers.
December 15, 2017
Snowmobile trails are officially open and we need more re snow.
North Trail #9 There is about 8 inches on the ground and over a foot at Pine Stump. There is a deep water hole between Co Rd 422 and School Bus Corner (Co Rd 455) which now has stop ahead and stop signs. The water was to the top of the tracks on the groomer last night.
Trail #45 This trail has 4 wet areas that the club members are trying to fill with snow and freeze. The two worst spots are located 2 miles in from M-123 and the other area past Skyline Road. You will find stop ahead and stops signs at these 2 locations. Please slow down on this trail due to the amount of rain we have received since September this trail has a lot of water. The gate at CR 500 is closed and will remain closed until we know that the swamp is safe to cross.
South Trail #9/2 This trail has 5 inches of snow on the ground.
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 11/27/24 Alrighty folks. Groomer Chris here still alive and back in the saddle for another season. It looks like I better get the trail reports rolling early this year!!! I haven`t seen this much snow this early in a very long time. I`ve got a solid 8" here at my place and I`ve seen reports of a foot plus outside of town. It looks like this weather pattern will last for at least a week with cold temps and lots of lake effect snow to come!!! I got a good feeling for this season!!!!! Mother Nature sure does owe us. We are ready to go. We have our sunk groomer (remember) back from the manufacturer with a brand new engine and the other 2 machines are good to go. The brushing and signing is about wrapped up on the high ground. All we need is Mother Nature to continue to cooperate and this season is gonna be awesome!!!! Just thought I would jump on here to see if I remember how to do this stuff and let ya`ll know we are still here. Keep checking back for the most honest trail reports for the Paradise area. LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris #paradise#newberry... See MoreSee Less
