Snowmobile Trail Report & Conditions - Iron County
Reporter: Colleen
Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: 15 - 20 inches
Date of Report: December 30, 2025
Area Report:
Our trail system is open and groomer operators are out on the trails today. We had a major storm come in Monday night through Tuesday. It left us with between 15 – 20 inches of new snow depending which side of the county you are on. It’s been a long tough winter so far for our club members and volunteers who have been working for weeks to clean up the downed trees and clear the brush off the trails after the Thanksgiving storm that blew in first. So if you get a chance to see a groomer going down the trail, please give them a BIG “Thumbs up”. It will put a big smile on their face and on yours too!!
Below are the trails that I know of so far that are currently getting groomed today and tomorrow.
- Trail #2 – Good
- Trail #116 – Good
- Trail #16 – Fair to Good
- Trail #15 N. watch for a wet area
- Trail #15 S – Good
- Trail #107 – Good
- Trail #111 – Fair to Good
We currently do not have any updates I can share from the Chippewa Sno-Kats on their grooming and trail conditions at this time. When I do, I will add to this report.
Again, such a “Wonderful” sight to see all this new snow and right before the New Year!! We hope to see you all this winter. But until then, don’t forget, “Always” ride right, watch the corners for other sledders and possible ice.
Safe sledding and have “SNOW MUCH” fun riding this winter.
It’s time to play in the snow, so let’s hit those winter trails, cross-country and downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and snowmobile trails are all calling.
