Snowmobile Report – December 20, 2022
Ashland County snowmobile trail Gates are OPEN.  The storm last week has made grooming rough,.  Ashland county groomers are working on grooming.  Due to trees and debris on the trail, it’s making it difficult.  Club Members are out working to get the trees out of the way, and trails cleared but hard because the trees and debris have frozen to the ground.   1 trail is closed south of Ashland (trail 9).   Still some water underneath the snow, so ride with caution.   Again please ride with caution.  More snow on it’s way!
