NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Second stop sign, had to stop back at the shop and tinker the drag lights, and controls to work, so milage won't be correct.
WOW last time I've seen jumps this large was large was on the X Games
from Colorado a week or so back!!
Was pondering how many sleds it takes to destroy this trail like this basically in a day... how many may have cut through for the race, how many beds are filled in Newberry, Lots of time to ponder such things out here.
We need a counter devise of some sort for weekends anyway... if you see a black tube stretched across the trail one of these day soon, think nothing of it 😉
Lots if work ahead, I'll keep you posted.
No pics yet, that IS THE second Stop sighn! 🤣
8AM On the Money!
Just turning south at the Pine Stump intersection, did you see that moon last night!"🌗
If you rode 9 yesterday you know it needed help desperately, corners North of Windy Corners were pretty out of control, spent ALOT of time on almost all the problem child's 😉
Back to Lots of room when I make this final lap.
Must've been very busy yesterday, Windy Corners has been worse, just looked like heavy through traffic.
Gettin her back to where we want it.
I'll check back after while.

Good morning all!
What a weekend! Trails were super busy!
Brimley Bill was out yesterday on his run on part of 480, part of 8, and the 889 loop. The pics are from his run.
Big shout out to our Raco crew for stepping up again to help with trail 8 all the way to the Soo. With all of the commitments our Soo volunteers had with the race, we needed some help from the Soo to Brimley and they stepped in for us. Thank you Raco Dave and crew!!
The city trails are going to be rough today and will be done tonight.
472/480 out of Kinross are also rough and should be done today.
All other trails should be fair to good.
Thanks to all of our volunteers for your efforts this busy weekend and always! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0208 #snowphotos
