Great news riders!!

Tuscobia has a great report on the section from Winter to Ojibwa, they are ooen, re-froze and grooming! Fabulous news!!

Other trail news, trails from the Chippewa Flowage to the north are reported to be wonderful!! This author experienced the trails over the weekend and they were beautiful! The lakes are quite bare of snow but have great ice and we did see about an inch of fresh snow yesterday and we have several days that forecast this week of fresh snow, some days an inch others 1-3″ so this is great to see some fresh snow, especially on the lakes! The temps continue to be cold and we have a great base! Groomers in the Seeley Hills, Hayward, Nelson Lake, east of Hayward, Moose Lake, Lost Land Lake area continue to go out. Many through the county are gearing up to follow now that things are cold and lakes and swamps are froze.

Surrounding counties, Ashland (re-open!), Bayfield, Washburn and Price are open. Barron and Rusk have moved from closed to partially open.

This is great news to see the southern part of the county getting the right conditions and your trail miles have extended! Grab your sleds and gear and come out and ride!
