Trail Conditions: Poor
Snow Cover: 6 - 12
Date of Report: March 4, 2026
Area Report:
The past warm up for the past 4 days has taken a toll on our trails. The trails are open, but not enough snow to groom and too warm as well. All groomers have been off the trails since Sunday do to weather. I don’t have a lot to report at this time. Once we cool back down and receive some new snowfall I will update our trail report for Iron County.
Thank you again to the Iron County Snowmobile Clubs and groomer operators for a very busy season starting December 1st this past season. Great job clearing all the trees and brush at the beginning of the season, and a lot of hours on the groomers through-out the season this year.
Also, to all you snowmobilers, “Thank You” for coming up and supporting our trail system and the local businesses. There were a couple very slow winters back to back, but this year made up for that. It was wonderful seeing sleds every day of the week, no matter if it was a week day or weekend!! 🙂
This report will be updated if our conditions improve before the end of March.
News and Reports:
