TRAIL REPORT

12/19/2024
Good Morning everyone. Its currently 16 degrees out. Temps finally cooled off and we were able to get back out grooming. We just ran up to Pine Stump last night. We also picked up about 4 inches if fresh lake affect in the north.

Hi everyone. If temps allow we are going to send a groomer North to Pine Stump tonight. On my drive in this morning there was still a good amount of snow on the trail right along M123 by the logging museum. Thats a good sign that the rest of the trail should be ok as the snow typically gets deeper as you go north. Temps are going to be cooling off the rest of the week as well.

Currently 7 degrees this morning. We groomed trail 9 north up to Holland Lake staging area. Its in really good shape. Traffic is still pretty light even for the amount of snow we have north.
We also groomed the south trail 9/2 down to H40. Its really thin and we won't be heading that way again until we get more snow.
The gates on trail 45 are still closed and the weather is calling for a slight warm up Sunday and Monday so its not likely they will open up this weekend. There is also some logging going on around camp 7 road.
Its early season still and ive seen a few other clubs such as Paradise and Grand Marais post about a few water hazards. Please check their pages if you plan to head in those directions. Don't forget to turn your What 3 Words app on before you go.
Stay safe, Ride Right.

We are grooming 9 up to Pine Stump and 498 tonight. We are going to hold off grooming the south trial down to Epoufette. There isnt enough snow and we feel we would do more harm then good. It is ridable but gets thinner the farther south you go. Logging still on going around camp 7 road on 45 heading to the falls. Watch out for possible water holes as well closer to 123 at Newberry. Hopefully with the cold temps the next few nights these will freeze over.
It looks like a good weekend for riding. Be safe and ride right.

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2024/25 snowmobile season and man has it started out on a high note. Most of our trail system has more than enough snow to ride. The North trails have seen almost 40 inches if not just above. It does decrease as you go south but we had a storm roll through out of the south yesterday that hopefully will remedy that. We were able to get out and do some panning and grooming but spent most of the time brushing and moving downed trees especially on trail 9 between Newberry and Pinestump. Even with the amount of snow we have gotten it still early season riding. Please watch out for down trees, water hazards, and low hanging limbs. Groomers all across the UP are working to get trails in order but with the amount of snow received in such a short amount of time it's very difficult. Some trails may not be groomed at all. Fresh powder will eat up a tank of gas in a hurry.

Don't forget to download the What 3 Words app. This is the go-to for first responders when it comes to locating those in need especially in remote areas like on a snowmobile trail. Open the app while you have service before you start your ride. This is the most important step. If you try to use it when you don't have service, it won't work but as long as you open it when you have service and leave it open in the background on your phone it will work. The state is broken up into squares, each square is signified with 3 words. At any time, you can look at your location and the 3 corrisponding words to it. If an emergency occurs and you need assistance just provide the first responders with the 3 words in your square and they can come to your aid.

Tasa is on Groomer Tracker go download it right now!!!! To see where we are at go download it and join the club. Each club will cost $10 per year. Sign up for all your favorite riding areas including TASA. A part of your cost does go directly to the clubs.

Stay on the Trail!! Ride Right and Be Safe!! Please be respectful of private property and remember when on roadways always ride on the right side!

Curfew in the Village of Newberry is 11:00pm to 7:00am.

Trail 9: Good: Plenty of snow. We sent a groomer up Monday night. 13 hour run to Pine Stump due to the amount of snow and downed trees. Groomer returned to the barn. We are going to run it again today.

Trail 498: Good: Groomed last night

Trail 45: Good/Poor: We panned this trail yesterday. We found some water holes in the typical areas between 123 and the Skyline. Loggers are in around Camp 7 road and have it plowed down. Lots of large clumps of icy snow on the edges of the trail. We are working with the logging company to better manage this. Stay tuned. The gates remain closed at County rd 500 as the swamp still needs to freeze over.

Trial 9/2: Fair: We have not had a chance to run this trail yet. The south did not get as much snow from the big storm over Thanksgiving that the North Country got. A storm did come out of the south yesterday which should help but it did come with some good winds so you may run into drifts in the open areas. I haven't seen any totals yet but as soon as I have more info, I'll let you know.

December 3, 2024
TASA has been out panning the trails and there is plenty of snow. We are in another winter storm warning and could get another 9-12" by Friday morning.

November 30, 2024
Just a reminder to anyone out riding the trails. Please use caution due to any falling branches due to the heavy snowfall. Also please remember that it is still hunting season so please be respectful of the hunters.
