*The forecasted temps continue to be cold, so be sure to dress for the occasion! We are snowmobilers, we don’t let cold stop us, we throw on another balaclava, a heated shield, handlebar muffs and we ride!
*Trails conditions for all areas in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois will be in excellent shape next weekend! Pull out your layers and dress warm and get those sleds ready for a fun weekend of riding!
*In order to best serve you- We have a FAQ below with Wisconsin Trail Pass information, Park & Ride, Lodging, and where to get trail maps.
Q: How do I register my sled?

Q: Where is the groomer running today?
A: Clubs usually try to groom their trail systems after a recent snowfall or once a week before the weekend traffic arrives.
Remember that these people are unpaid volunteers that ride just like you do- if conditions are appropriate to groom they will get out when they can. Check your local club page for info or install the Grooming Tracking System App on Google Play Store

The Blizzard of ‘24 Friday, dumped quite a bit of snow in the south and southeast! Allowing clubs snow to work with, and trails to open. After a few lackluster seasons, southern counties are enjoying some great riding opportunities! This week will be very cold, with a warm up to follow. Get out and ride! It’s hard to predict this weird winter we’re having so far. Thanks to all the hard working volunteers, who are doing their best to make these trails exceptional! Without the clubs, volunteers, and landowners. Wisconsin Snowmobiling Does Not Exist. Check the Travel Wisconsin Snow Report for more details. 👍❄️
