Blizzard Tour is on track for a full ride
Despite some snow concerns this winter, the Black Woods Blizzard Tour is on track for the originally planned full ride around the Northland.
Riders will head out from Black Bear Casino on Thursday morning and take the trails all the way to Fortune Bay Resort Casino in Tower. On Friday, they go from Tower to TimberLake Lodge in Grand Rapids. Then Saturday marks a return from Grand Rapids to the casino in Carlton.
The route was just finalized Monday after Saturday’s snow.
The ride benefits Never Surrender, a nonprofit that raises money for ALS research and offers support to people with ALS and their families.
The 2025 Blizzard Tour opens with a dinner on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Frozen swamps and lakes will help if there isn’t enough snow on some sections of trail.
In the nearly snow-less 2024, the snowmobile portion was nixed for other activities.
