*******Attention snowmobiles riding in the village of Newberry. Please refer to the map and follow the trail. The Community Action Agency over the last month has had several close calls while snowmobiles are riding through our parking lot instead of the trail. We have senior citizens backing out of our building and small children walking to cars. The trail is not through our parking lot, it goes around it along the road. If your still not sure where I’m referring to, if your riding along our fenced in playground or you see our Head Start buses, you are not on the trail. We don’t want anyone getting hurt!*******

TASA UPDATE:

March 10, 2020 11:15am  Updates below GREEN FOR GO!

Update: We will go out late this afternoon and tonight to try and smooth things back down.  We picked up a couple of inches of snow last night north or 4 mile corner/County Rd 407.  The staging area in town is frozen snirt and the sides of the road out of town and in town are bare.  Still pretty rough.  The snow depth in the woods is good.  Overall deeper in the system the trails are pretty good, but they are late season conditions.  What we have heard from some sledders are the trails are hard and flat.  Now remember we have not been out since the weekend so this is a small sample of a few dozen sleds and everyone's opinion varies.  This is not to say you will not find some rough or choppy spots, but for the most part they are hard and flat.  To the best of our current knowledge is the only small water spot is on Trail 45 North a few miles out of town.  We will be able to better access the situation later today and tonight and will update you accordingly in the morning.   We Take Pride in Your Ride!

There is a staging area north of town at Silver Creek 3 miles north if you want to avoid the side of the road out of town. Go north after crossing the tracks and take a left at the Silver Creek ORV sign and go to the dead end and start out from there on Trail 9.  Plenty of room there!

Current Hours: Northstore Hours on Cnty Rd 407 is open  Sunday to Wednesday from 9am to 9pm and Thursday to Sat. 9am to 11pm.  Gas, Snacks and general information.  Sled Rentals Available!

The Wolf Inn is open 7 days a week 11am-10pm.  Food.  Will be closing for the winter season March 29th.

The Pine Stump is open 7 days a week now Mon.-Sun. 11am to 10pm for the kitchen.

Tahquamenon Falls Brewery & Pub is open.

Trail #9/2/473 (Fair to Good) (South of Newberry) We will groom tonight.   This is about 3 miles South once you cross M-28. The caution and stop ahead signs are still posted surrounding the affected area.  There is a good chance it will freeze back up over the next couple of days since the forecast has changed once again.

Trail #45 (Fair to Good) There is one area of interest.  It is from Skyline Road for 3 miles that is plowed due to logging.  Please use caution when going through this area.  It is starting to get a little rough through there with the warm up and a small water spot 3 miles just north of town.  We will  groom tonight.

Trail #9 (Fair to Good) One of the most traveled trails.   We will groom tonight. 

Trial #498 off of Trail 9 (Fair to Good) NE over to the Northstore for gas.  We will groom tonight.

March 9, 2020 10:00am  Updates below BLUE

Update: We did not groom last night.  The temperatures are too warm.  We will NOT groom again until the temperatures are below 35.  Our next best shot is tomorrow night and then again on Friday.  It looks like we might dodge the rain tonight and it could be a mix of freezing rain or not more than 1/2 of light snow.  The staging area in town is mud and the sides of the road out of town and in town are bare.  What is left on the side of the road are ice moguls.  The snow depth in the woods is still good.  Overall deeper in the system the trails are still pretty good, but they are late season conditions.  March 31st is not far off when the trails will close that cross private property and the gates will close unless additional permissions from the land owner is granted.  County roads and state lands and portions of the trail would still be accessible as long as the snow holds out.  We Take Pride in Your Ride! 

• We will see how the next three days play out.  We will keep you posted on our ability to groom going forward as early as we can in the morning or update our status late at night.  There is still a lot of snow deep in the woods, however some areas are just more worn done than others, just depends on where the sun is hitting.

March 8, 2020 2:00pm  Updates below RED

Update: We did groom all the trails last night.  They are good at night when the temperatures drop back below freezing.  The best riding is late night or early morning right now.  The staging area in town is mud and it is pretty slushy heading up to the trail head.  The sides of the road are bare, along with the roads and alley ways in town.  You can avoid all that by using the Silver Creek Staging area.  It is 46 degrees out right now.  The overnight low is only supposed to hit 36 degrees.  We may attempt to go out after dark, but we will see how it goes and how far we get.  There is a chance we do not go out at all.  Overall deeper in the system the trails are still pretty good and there is snow we can pull in if the temperatures will work with us.  March 31st is not far off when the trails will close that cross private property and the gates will close unless additional permissions from the land owner is granted.  County roads and state lands and portions of the trail would still be accessible as long as the snow holds out.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

Update: The snow will settle in this morning, afternoon and through tonight into Friday morning.  It will be a long persistent snow with gusty winds and heavy at times.  All three groomers are running late this afternoon through tonight on all the trails.  Trail 9 was groomed last night from the Pine Stump to Newberry.  He rolled in around 11:30 pm.  There was no traffic out last night and the trail groomed out beautiful.  March 31st is not far off when the trails will close that cross private property and the gates will close unless additional permissions from the land owner is granted.  County roads and state lands and portions of the trail would still be accessible as long as the snow holds out.  The roads and alley ways in town are bare, but the snow predicted will that will rectify that situation.  The details for the trails are below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

March 4, 2020 8:00am  Updates below GREEN

Update: If you are a baseball fan and pitching then you are a fan of the weather recently.  Just when you think you are going to get a fastball you end up with a curve ball.  This is what the weather has delivered this week.  Tomorrow looks to bring 3-5" of wet heavy snow unlike the light fluffy 8" of snow we got last week.  We groomed both North trails last night and they are in good condition.  Are there spots that may be a little bumpy here and there, most certainly.  However overall the trails are in good condition.  Grooming is an art and more than just riding along.  You have to know when to pan here, cut there and pull snow in from the banks in other spots.  We are thankful for the veteran groomers and the next up and coming generation that continues to learn the tricks of the trade to hone their skills in the groomers seat.  The roads and alley ways in town are bare, but if we get the snow predicted and it appears we will that will rectify that situation.  The details for the trails are below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

Feb. 18, 2020 1:30pm  Updates below BROWN

Update: Trails are great!  We picked up about 6 inches of snow last night and more on the way for tonight and tomorrow.  Depending on the forecaster it could be as little as an inch or as much as another 7".  We did groom all the trails last night and will grooming all week.  The fresh snow has been long awaited and will pack great as it is just damp enough to drag and pack well.  The winds are pretty gusty and visibility is low at times so please use caution as periodic white outs will occur.  Beware of the groomers on the trails.  They are much easier to spot once darkness has set in, but during the day blind corners and hills are not as forgiving and the blowing snow will certainly not help.  There is a lot of traffic out there even today.  The details for the trails are below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

All the clubs are grooming and putting their best foot forward.  Please BEWARE of the groomers on the trails.  We Take Pride in Your Ride, but we take just as much concern with your safety.  Everyone is here for a fun time, but returning home to your families safely is just as important to us!

Trail #9/2/473 (Great) (South of Newberry) The water that was running just south of M-28 has frozen.  Caution is still urged.  Stop ahead signs were placed at the area of caution.  Groomed all the way to Epoufette/Cut River and over to Trout Lake.

Trail #9 (Great)  We are grooming nightly.  Coming out of town up the side of the road to the trail head is rolling and just about gone, but the snow tonight will help.  Alternative solution noted above in the update.  Groomed all the way to Holland Lake Staging last night will do so the coming week.  The last mile coming into the back side of the Pine Stump gets beat up pretty bad and we do our best to keep this smoothed out, but the amount of traffic does take its toll.  The trail is narrow so caution as always is prudent.  The fresh snow and snow to come will certainly help our cause.

Update: All the trails were groomed again last night.  There has been light traffic this week and we have groomed every night churning and packing the snow.  The trails have setup real nice.  We have cut out moguls and leveled out the high banked corners to make them wider since Sunday.  There is snow in the forecast through the weekend.  A little here and a little there and potentially even more come Monday.  It will help all the trails.  It is going to be a busy weekend.  We normally take Wednesday nights off and catch up on maintenance and sleep, but we will get our New Holland back today and will send it out tonight for a test run to make sure it runs accordingly after the repairs.  Fingers crossed!! The details for the trails are below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

On a side note there will be Youth Basketball Saturday and Sunday at the school and community building.   There will be a lot of cars and kids crossing the roads so please use caution driving through town.  In addition to all that, the Cornhole Tournament at the American Legion will be going on.

Update: All the trails were groomed last night.  There is a 2 foot base on the trails.  The snow changes a lot depending on the area.  We saw sugary snow starting out in spots and more damp and soft snow in others.  The trails dragged and pan out nice.  On all the trails last night we cut out moguls and cleaned up some of the high banked corners to make them wider.  We will continue to work the corners and any additional moguls before the highly anticipated high traffic weekend coming up.  The alley ways in town are icy and the side of the road out of town is the same and bumpy.  We wish we could smooth this out for you but we are not able to do so because of the state highway guidelines.  The details for the trails are below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

We posted some pictures on TASA Facebook Page of some of the work last night on Trail 9 North and Trail 498 over to the Wolf Inn.

There is a staging area north of town at Silver Creek 3 miles north.  If you don't want to get hemmed up in the parking lot in town.  Go north after crossing the tracks and take a left at the Silver Creek ORV sign and go to the dead end.  Plenty of room there!

A friendly reminder is slow down and stay to the right especially on the corners.  Stay on the trail.  Private property owners gives us the privilege to have trails across their property and we do not want to lose it.  Normal grooming operations are in full swing.  

TASA works mostly with volunteers.  We have the best groomers in the U.P.  They dedicate long hours and nights away from their families to groom the trails so you can enjoy them safely.  Please be cautious as you approach a groomer as they stop for your safety so please slow down when you are passing them.  It is always appreciated when you can tip your hat to them and thank them for their efforts or give them a wave.  Be Safe out there and take time to enjoy nature and the best scenery the U.P has to offer.

Update: Here is the hard truth as much as we hate to say it! We groomed all the trails last night but it is fair at best.  It is hard and sugary right now.  The reality is we need snow.  They are not holding up long after grooming.  The warmer temperatures are gone and it has been cold this week, however we need good snow to cover up the damage that has already been done.The details for the trails are below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

Feb. 3, 2020 10:00am  Updates below PURPLE

Update: We groomed all the trails last night.  The lead trail out of town up to 3 mile was done twice.  Cut in and smoothed out.  It will be above freezing today so it will get roughed up, but we will tackle it again late this afternoon and tonight.  Overall though they could be a lot worse with the temperatures being as warm as they have been over the past couple of days.  It will dip back down into the twenties tonight and tomorrow so after we groom tonight things should stabilize.  The information we have received from other clubs is it is not that bad and the trails overall are in pretty good condition considering we have not have much additional snowfall.  Certainly there are areas worse than others, but overall pretty good.  Traveling out of town is one of the most heavily traveled portions and gets beat up pretty good along side of the road up to the trail head of 45 & 9.   If you want to avoid that portion the Silver Creek Staging area is an option.  If trail 45 N is your goal and short zip 3 miles south of the staging area you can be back at the Trail Head of 45 and miss the roughness coming out of town and the side of the road.  We wish we could smooth that out, however State Highway mandates does not allow us to do so.  We will continue to put our best foot forward to keep things smooth out to the best of our ability.  The details for the trails are detailed below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!

Update: We groomed all the trails last night.  Yesterday saw quite a bit of traffic out on the trails for mid week.  Today and tomorrow looks pretty good as far as temperatures go, but Sunday and Monday it will peak in the mid thirties.  This will certainly soften things up.   Overall currently things are holding up.   There are a few factors involved involved to keep it prime on a regular basis and warmer temperatures is certainly not one of them.  All the grooming clubs across the U.P are doing their dead level best to keep the trails as good as possible.  Traveling out of town gets beat up pretty good along side of the road up to the trail head of 45 & 9.  If you want to avoid that portion the Silver Creek Staging area is an option.  If trail 45 N is your goal and short zip 3 miles south of the staging area you can be back at the Trail Head of 45 and miss the roughness coming out of town and the side of the road.  We wish we could smooth that out, however State Highway mandates does not allow us to do so.  We will be grooming daily/nightly the rest of the week.  We will continue to put our best foot forward to keep things smooth out to the best of our ability.  The details for the trails are detailed below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!!

Update: We took last night off, but we will be back out today grooming all the trails.  The temperatures and traffic has really dictated the condition of the trails.  We are doing our best to keep them smooth and packed.  When it warms up just over the freezing mark they do get soft and what has been smoothed out does get rough at times.  The trails are good to fair it just depends on the temperatures, traffic and where you are at as you well know.  The fact of the matter is if you are expecting pristine trails at all times it just is not going to happen right now.  Seasoned riders understand all the elements involved to keep it prime on a regular basis.  All the grooming clubs across the U.P are doing their dead level best to keep the trails as good as possible.  We will be grooming daily/nightly the rest of the week.  The temperatures will be moderate for the next two days and Saturday and Sunday will be slightly warmer.  The night time lows will continue to dip into the twenties.  We will continue to put our best foot forward to keep things smooth out to the best of our ability.  The details for the trails are detailed below.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!!

This Just in:  Unfortunately we were not able to get to the E part of Trail 45 last night to the Falls.  Well over 3/4 of it is good.  The theory is that the other 1/4 is passable, however it is just a theory at this point.  There are sled tracks at both ends.  The trail boss hopes to go through tonight and it will be ready to go by the weekend.  If it is soft,  it will take a little work to pull some snow in and pack it down really good.  This is not the news we or you were hoping for this morning, but we are urging on the side of caution as it is quite the process to get a groomer from being stuck.  Hang in there and hopefully tomorrow the lights will be flashing and the all go sign will be illuminated.  We asked that if you see any soft spots or if you personally get through that area before we do please let us know.   All reports of areas of interest that could need some attention please let us know and we can focus on them while we are out.  Stay tuned for the up to date details and hopefully we can paint you a clear picture tomorrow morning.  We Take Pride in Your Ride!!  Your patience is appreciated!!

Cold temperatures prevail tonight through tomorrow, but it warm back up late week and the weekend pushing the mid thirties.  This will bring on a melt of sorts and the trails will probably get a little soft, but they are in great condition currently.  Come up and enjoy some time in the outdoors and the best scenery around.  What a great time to slow down and relax!  A friendly reminder is slow down and stay to the right especially on the corners.  Stay on the trail.  Private property owners gives us the privilege to have trails across their property and we do not want to lose it.  Normal grooming operations are in full swing.  Groomers are heading out again today to hit all the trails and they are finishing working East of the 500 to the Falls.  There is every good chance it will be ready to be open as early as tomorrow night or at the latest the weekend.

It is hard to believe that the time is here already for snowmobiling!  There are many of you that have long awaited this moment.  We have had  two significant snowfalls over the past week and a half.  There is over 2-3 feet of snow in some areas.  In saying the previous there are a lot of down trees and hidden dangers.  The groomers and volunteer's are out trying to clean up the trails for you enjoyment.  This is going to be a slow process in all areas of the U.P, but they are working daily to clean it up.  However, just because a portion of a trail has been cleaned does not mean that a brittle tree has broken off and blocked the trail once again.  There are portions of the trails that are open and all the county roads are snow packed to take a cruise on.  We DO NOT encourage or Condone any high rates of speed.  The dangers are real as you well know.  The trails officially open Dec. 15th or sooner once hunting season is over or the land owners give permission to TASA to open the gates that cross over their property.  We will post that information once it is available.

TASA works mostly with volunteers.  We have the best groomers in the U.P.  They dedicate long hours and nights away from their families to groom the trails so you can enjoy them safely.  Please be cautious as you approach a groomer as there is not much room for them and you so please slow down and once there is room then go around them.  It is always appreciated when you can tip your hat to them and thank them for their efforts or give them a wave.  Be Safe out there and take time to enjoy nature and the best scenery the U.P has to offer.

PARADISE AREA NIGHT RIDERS REPORT::

December 12, 2018

30 degrees this morning, cloudy and quite windy.

I know I haven`t been on here much but there just isn`t much to report. The weather hasn`t cooperated much and nothing exciting happening. We do have a few inches on the ground and I have seen a dozen or so sleds running around town. Our trails are ridable (barely) but we haven`t been able to get the groomers out yet....just not enough snow and cold!! We are ready to rock an roll as soon as good ole Mother Nature will let us. It doesn`t look promising for the rest of this week though.

Keep checking back. As soon as Ole Man Winter decides to wake up and bless us I will be sure to let you know.

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!

Groomer Chris

 

Dec. 07 2018

From Kritter's Northcountry Campground Trail Report

The trails are in good condition.  The trail coming out of town is bumpy, otherwise the reports from our guest is that they are in good condition going north and west over to Grand Maris. We have received snow everyday since the new year.  It has been a few inches everyday.  The gate to the falls is still closed as the swamp is not quite frozen enough to get the groomer across.  Hopefully it will be early next week.  There is still plenty of riding.   The temperatures are going to remain cold this through the weekend.  It is absolutely beautiful out there right now.  You can go for miles and miles in any direction to explore the U.P.  Slow down and take in the beauty of nature.  As always we encouarge Safety first and courteous riding for other people while out on the trails!  

If you would like to get ahead of the game and have a secure reservation please give us a call.  We completely understand everything is contingent on weather and trail conditions, but you can have a peace of mind you are not scrambling at the last minute to find a place to stay. 

Trail #9  Snow depth north of Newberry is DEEP.   The trail is in good condition.

Trail #45  The trail is groomed  to CR 500.  The gate at the CR 500 is still closed and will remain closed until they can get through the swamp.  

Trail #9/2  This trail snow depth is about a foot or better.  The trail is being groomed to Rexton.

Trail #8  The trail going north to the Pine Stump off of CR407 and from the Pine Stump to Paradise is in good shape.  Part of trial 8 from Paradise to Raco going south to the mouth of the Tahquameon River is still closed and will open as soon as it freezes which should be any day due to how cold it has been.  They were able to get to the Falls, however the gate is still closed, but they pulled snow  into the water holes and this should freeze over this week to open the gate.

Trails 452 & 453  Fair condition and  still a few water holes on the north side of the trails.

Due to the warm weather and traffic this weekend the trails in Newberry, the staging area by the railroad tracks and trail #9 grade is dirt with a small amount of snow cover. There is another staging area located north of Newberry. Take M-123 for 3 miles after you cross the railroad tracks to CR 446, turn left and follow this county road to the end take a left to the parking lot.

The cold temperatures  have return for this weekend. It is snowing today (lake affect) and getting colder but our all of our trails lost a lot of snow over the past 2 days. Please remember as the temperatures drop the water on the trails are now freezing so our trails are going to be icy. Please slow down as our trails are in spring riding conditions.

We will be grooming our north trails this weekend.

 Trail #9   Trail is in fair condition and the trail past Pine Stump  to Holland Staging area is down to dirt along CR 407.

Trail #45 Trail is in fair condition.

21 degrees this morning, cloudy and breezy. It was snowing pretty hard yesterday morning, and blowing pretty hard too. We picked up about 3 inches in a couple of hours then it petered out pretty fast. It blowed so hard I didn`t even have to shovel off my deck. "They" are still saying highs in the teens and lows in the single digits thru the weekend and snow here an there. Not saying alot of snow, 3-6 inches, but we`ll take what we can get!!! Now on to the trails......

8 degrees this morning and snowing. Looks like we picked up a solid 3 inches on my deck last night. Supposed to get another couple today.

I ran the Falls trail #45 last night and it turned out good. All the water holes that opened up on us last week are now froze back in but a couple of new "pot holes" opened up. No big deal but just be careful. I would call this trail excellent except for dem pesky little pot holes. Groomer Mike ran the Pine Stump trail #8 and called that good. Groomer Don did the Point trails #452 and #453 and called them good too. All trails that were groomed are hard and FLAT. Like my last report, trail #8 south is toast...just too wet and low and we are done with it.

Groomed all 3 trails last night and will be grooming them until the next warm up on Monday/Tuesday next week. We received about 4 inches of new snow on the north trails and 8 inches on the south trail.

10 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. Yesterday was quite a windy day and we did get around 3 inches or so. Every time I look at the weather forecast it changes but "they" are still saying its gonna stay cold until Sunday and we may pick up a couple inches from now till then.

Groomer Don did decide to run the Point trails yesterday just to keep up on the drifting. I am runnin to the Falls tonight and Groomer Mike is gonna head to Pine Stump. I am seeing alot of questions asking about trail #8 going south on our FB page....here`s my answer. The swamp south of town is under water and the gates are closed. It may be froze now cause of the temps the last couple nights but if we take a groomer thru there it would break right back up. The power line south of the river has a couple big wet areas open with flowing water, we just can`t get a groomer thru there either. The Federal Forest section (between the Silver Creek and Lakeshore Dr.) is mud. You can get a sled thru all of this but it won`t be alot of fun and possibly no fun at all. Old Man Winter has not been good to us this season with the thawing he`s thrown at us so we just can`t do anything about this section of trail. Its too low and wet and we are done grooming it for the season. You can still get south if you ride on the UNPLOWED portion of M-123. As I have said in the past, we cannot groom this cause we don`t have a permit to do so, plain and simple. All our other trails are good to go so come on UP for maybe one last fling.

February 27, 2017

18 degrees this morning and sunny. Supposed to get to about freezing today then alittle warm for Tuesday then drop back down to "normal"....whatever that is. We picked up about 6-8 inches over the weekend....which really helped out the trails.

All trails were groomed all weekend except the south trail #8. This trail is under water in the swamp and not good south of the river. I got a pretty good feeling we are done with it for the season. The Point trails #452 and #453 are good and the Pine Stump trail #8 is still good. We had a couple of good size water holes open up on the Falls trail #45 this weekend but got `em filled in so I`ll call this trail 99% good. Just be carefull around the posted wet areas. Like I said before, we WILL keep grooming until the weather won`t allow so don`t believe any negative rumors you hear, check my reports, you`ll know the truth.

32 degrees this morning and cloudy. I hate having to talk about the weather constantly but here we go again. The weather guessers are calling for 3-6 inches for later today but then start to warm up. They are saying into the low 40`s by this weekend.....dog gone it.....let us have our winter man!!! Needless to say, with the busy weekend coming, this will be a challenge to say the least. But.....nuttin we can do about it.

The Falls trail #45, the Point trails #452 and #453 and the south trail #8 all got run yesterday and they all turned out good, even in the swamp south of town, but that may be short lived with this darn warm weather coming. The sun was out yesterday and I saw 43 degrees here so the roads took a hit.....bummer.

Had a mechanical failure here at my place yesterday so thats why no report yesterday....took all day but I got er fixed. Been outa the loop at the barn so not sure exactly whats goin on out dar but I do know Groomer Gerald ran the Falls trail last night and Groomer Dave is headin south on trail #8 this morning. He is gonna go thru the swamp with a drag and see what happens. I know he will give me a call when he gets done and I`ll let ya`ll know tomorrow morning how that went. About all I know on the grooming part, not sure on the schedule either....sorry.....I`ll know more tomorrow.

February 7, 2017 

22 degrees this morning, cloudy and a steady 20 mph wind. It did snow alittle last night but the wind blew it around so much ya can`t tell how much we got. I did shovel off my deck yesterday but its still clear. The weather guessers have us under a winter weather advisory till tomorrow. I never could figure out this type of advisory.....it is winter time man!! They are calling for up to 15 inches thru Thursday though......BAMMMM!!!

Groomer Dave was the only run to go yesterday. He went south on trail #8 but by-passed the swamp. I explained that in my last post. He worked on the few small water holes we have on this trail and got them filled in and panned. He called the trail fair in the low spots and good for the rest.  Groomer Chris - Paradise Area Night Riders

18 degrees this morning and lightly snowing. Looks like we picked up an inch or two last night but its hard to tell cause I haven`t shoveled off my deck since Friday. It does have about 8 inches on it from the weekend. Now, I have some good trail news......

We opened up the gates to the south swamp trail #8 yesterday. It may be alittle rough in there as we haven`t taken a groomer in there yet. We are gonna let the sleds run in there a few days to freeze it down more cause we don`t want to take a chance of breaking it up with a 4 ton groomer. Just be careful in there!!

14 degrees this morning and snowing.....HARD!!! Picked up a solid 6 inches on my deck last night!!! The weather guessers have extended our lake effect advisory until Sat. now. They are saying up to at least a foot more when this is all said and done!!!! Hello February!!!

I did run the Falls trail yesterday and it turned out really good. We still have a small detour around a water hole that opened up so pay attention to a couple new stop signs with direction arrows for now. We should be able to get this fixed shortly with all this snow we are getting. Groomer Don is runnin the Point Trails as I write this.

22 degrees this morning and snowing. Picked up a couple new inches on my deck last night too. We are under a lake effect advisory for tonight thru Friday night....YEA!!!! They are saying 6-10 inches....YEA again!!!

Groomer Loren was the only one who ran yesterday. He did the Pine Stump trail #8 and called it good. I am gonna hit the Falls trail #45 this afternoon. If we get all this snow they are calling for we will get into the swamp south of town and work on that probably Friday. We still have a small detour on #45 to the Falls to get around a water hole that opened up. We should be able to work on that soon also. We`ll also get out and work on the other few bad spots we have on our trail system ASAP.

23 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. No new snow last night. Last day of January.....good riddance....the local weather guesser said the temps for this month was 6-10 higher than normal. The wind is supposed to switch and come outa the NW tomorrow and the weather guessers are saying that will kick up some good lake effect for Wed. night and Thurs. They are saying 3-6 inches thru Thurs. night. Lets hope they are right!! Now, on to the trails.....

Groomer Don ran the Point trails yesterday and called them good. Groomer Dave did go south on trail #8 but by-passed the swamp. He told me the power line south of the river has a couple nasty holes in it. You can get around them though but be careful. There is also a big hole in the federal forest section. This is the section between the Silver Creek Tavern and Lakeshore drive. Its a tough one to get around cause the trail is so narrow in there. My point here is lets use some common sense when coming to a water hole. Don`t go busting through it not knowing how deep it is, then getting stuck in it and then complaining. We don`t carry a magic wand in the groomer to freeze in holes!!! We can`t do nuttin about it with this past warm weather and no snow to use to fill it!!! Common sense folks.....common sense.

11 degrees this morning and cloudy. We only got a light dusting of snow last night.....sure could use a foot!!!

Groomer Loren ran the Pine Stump trail #8 yesterday but I never heard from him so I can`t give you an honest report on how it went. I can assume it went good but that`s just my gut feeling cause this trail is high and dry.

Received 4/5 inches of new snow yesterday.

Trail #9   Trail is in good condition. The trail leaving Newberry to CR 455 has some dirt showing up on the trail in some areas but past CR 455 the snow conditions are better.

Trail #45 Trail is in good condition. The trail is plowed from Skyline road to the east for 4 miles for logging. The logging operation will be going on for the next 2 weeks. Please watch out for logging trucks. 

Trail #9/2 Trail is in fair condition and we are grooming to Epoufette and Trout Lake. The trail right outside of Newberry heading to the south shows signs of water holes and dirt. Please be cautious on the south trails.

We are grooming all 3 trails. We are expecting 1-3 inches of new snow.
