BAYFIELD COUNTY
Updated: 3/07/2013

Riders say the trails in the Bayfield/Valhala area are in good condition. Inspite of missing the major snow event, the area continues to offer premier riding. There is still excellent riding up here as the trails have a solid base and lots of snow on the Forest Roads and lesser trails.

Remember to stay on marked trails and Forest Roads as it is against the law to go off trail in the Chequamegon National Forest.

 

ASHLAND COUNTY

As of March 7:

The Ashland County Snowmobile Alliance reports the trails throughout Ashland County and on the Tri-County Corridor are in excellent condition.

IRON COUNTY

As of February 28:

Northern Iron County is in very good condition. Trail 7 is open!

Southern Iron County is in good to very good condition. The base is frozen solid and temps don't seem to be getting above freezing, so it should remain in tact for a while!!

VILAS COUNTY

Northwestern Vilas: updated 3/07/13

Overcast skies kept the sun from doing too much damage. Trails in protected areas are still very good! Exposed areas will be be hurt by the sun. In fact the extended forecast looks more favorable than it did a couple days ago (less sun, lower temps, chance of snow). If you are planning a trip up this weekend, you will still find good riding.

Just be aware that long trips on exposed trails/ grades will be snirty (dirty snow) and thin. Plan to ride on the less traveled trails and you should be fine.

Remember: It is March and your Club is doing everything it can to make your riding the best possible. We always consider any riding in March to be a treat. As always use care in the corners and beware of oncoming traffic.
