Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: Minimal
Date of Report: December 21, 2025
Area Report:
It’s a good thing we didn’t listen to all the naysayers that said we opened too early and that the trails would be trashed after one day!
Every sledder I spoke to over the weekend talked about how good the trails were! My wife & I road yesterday & hit trails in Sayner, Star Lake, Conover, Phelps & Land O’ Lakes. Even though it’s a very thin base, it was all fairly flat and so much fun! We even saw Santa out on his Scorpion. I heard the same reports from people who rode in the St. Germain, Boulder Junction and Presque Isle sytems.
Yes, we do need more snow, for sure. Without it, we’ll begin to see more icy conditions as traffic increases over the holiday week. For now, don’t hesitate to go out and enjoy what we have.
The Barnstormers will be grooming on a very limited basis until we get more snow. Excessive grooming right now will do more damage than good. Start doing your snow dances!!
Ride RIght & Ride Safe!
