We are happy to open our trails tomorrow, and definitely wish this was December 1st! We are well aware that many of you have weather apps on your phones, that hind sight is usually 20/20, and we are nearing the end of a "normal" Winter season. With that being said, there has been nothing "normal" about this season at all! There are far more opinions than snow, and far greater economic concerns for all of the communities in the North woods. Let's show thanks for the riding days or weeks ahead, because however long these trails last, is more than we would have if we stayed closed. As always, Ride SAFE, Ride RIGHT, and Respect our landowners properties. The following trail report assumes that everyone understands that these are early/late conditions, watch for rocks and water areas, and STAY ON THE TRAILS please.
