The trails were not groomed last night because of the intensity of the storm. We do have at least one volunteer going out tonight to work the snow and try to pack it down. We really did get a foot of snow yesterday. The very bottom of it is wet and dense. What fell after was lighter in substance because the temperature dropped quite a bit. The wind also drifted a lot of the snow that fell later in the day. If we had a base this new snow would be a no-brainer to work with. Because there was virtually no base left it’s like starting over at the beginning of the season (think back to late November/early December). We encourage people to get out and enjoy this fresh snow that’s everywhere. It’s beautiful out and all side roads and road shoulders have good cover for sleds. Riding conditions should be good and it will be like blazing trail out there. Enjoy. The sun is out but temps are in the single digits today so bundle up. The groomers will do what they can with this snow tonight.

If you’re interested in supporting local grooming efforts, visit www.justgroomit.org or stop by Burt Lake Marina for details on joining the Indian River Snowmobile Grooming club with a membership donation. We have hats and t-shirts (short & long sleeve) for sale too. Even when we can’t groom we still have operational expenses like insurance, two-way radio communication subscriptions, equipment repair, utilities and more. Thanks to member donations we’re almost done with interior/finish construction at our new equipment barn! We now store and work on the grooming equipment only yards from the DNR trailhead. Your support makes all the difference. Thank you!

Good amount of snowfall the last couple days!

If, and only if the groomers go out we will be open for the weekend (Saturday and Sunday).

I will update this post once we are notified.

We have been in touch with the groomers and they are hoping to groom on Friday.

As of now the trails are snow covered but need a grooming to flatten everything out and cover up the washed out areas.

Please call if you wish to book 231-645-2628
