Our trail system did receive some wet heavy snow but unfortunately it's just a little to late in the season to get everything set and rideable. GRTA sadly will not be panning or grooming our system due to impassable swamps and forecasted weather. Hopefully the snow finds us next year and we will back to seeing you on the trails! We will continue to post club events and updates here during the coming months so stay tuned. #ironwood #westernup ... See MoreSee Less
