FIRST RIDE OF THE YEAR…

Trail Conditions: Good

After seeing sleds zoom by the hotel for two weeks and hearing everyone tell us how good the trails are, we had to get out and see it ourselves. Overall the trails were VERY GOOD. We rode South, North, and East with very little issues. Have to give these clubs a lot of credit for the amount of work they have done with not a lot of snow. The last snowfall was a heavy wet snow and all the clubs were able to get that packed down before we entered the below zero stretch (lat couple days and next coule days). We are still not recommending going on the lakes, although we expect the Flowage to get marked this week, and there are some swamps the groomers have not entered yet (resulting in some rough riding to and from) but they too should be able to get out this week prior to the weekend. We are expecting a busy weekend in the Northwoods (sold out Saturday already) and the conditions should hold up for a great weekend of riding.
