Report: January 25, 2024

Trail Conditions: Not Ridable
Snow Cover: 3- 6 inches of snow

Area Report:

Hey everyone, We are still waiting on snow here in Iron County and the nearby areas. Currently we have 4 to 5 inches of snow on the ground. Our clubs are not able to groom at this time due to lack of snow. Seems to be the story in several areas this season so far. Such odd weather this year… let’s all hope February and March will give us lots of snow to finish up our snowmobile season. We may have given up the first (2) months of riding this year… but let’s not give up on the last 2/months. 😉

This report will be updated on a weekly bases unless our conditions change.  Be sure to check in on the report periodically to see if conditions have changed. 🙂

News and Reports:

Lakes should be good for Ice Fishing – In February Michigan offers a “FREE” Fishing weekend. This year the dates are February 17th & 18th. No License needed.

“Free” Michigan Snowmobile Weekend – February 9th, 10th & 11th. – No Permit needed to ride our trails.

“Winter” Waterfall Tours are another activity to try this winter.  With the low snowfall… most waterfalls have easy access. Perfect year to give it a try. 

We sure hope to see everyone soon this winter season… after all it’s “Our Time” to play!! We have 2/months left, let’s make the best of it.  🙂
