It’s snowing! The groomers are out but the club is experiencing some equipment issues so the grooming is going slowly. Trails are in very good condition as the clubs are trying to keep up with all of the snow we’ve received this week.
SE Quadrant
All trails are open and will be groomed before Friday as it will take time due to equipment issues and a large amount of snow that has fallen. Watch for logging operations on Trail 41N and Trail 541.
*Please note – The CN Railroad is warning snowmobilers to stay off railroad property in Solon Springs. There is a new trail to Solon Springs (Trail 27B).
