 Our groomers were out last night and will continue to tune up the trails for this weekend. Reports from them and riders are that the trails are in really good shape thanks to a few light snowfalls, setting up for enjoyable rides across Voyageur Country this weekend and through the week. With the deep freeze behind us, the weather has been absolutely beautiful—perfect for getting out and exploring! Whether you’re planning a weekend ride or a Valentine’s Day getaway on the sleds, conditions are lining up nicely. Riding smart within your limits and staying right helps everyone have a great time. On the David Dill Arrowhead State Trail and throughout the Grant-in-Aid system, the trail base is holding well, though it remains thin in spots with a few exposed bumps, rocks, and low areas. Conditions can change quickly, so stay alert and ride cautiously. Active logging is taking place in several areas—please stay to the right at all times, slow down, and give trucks and equipment plenty of room. Snowmobile trails in Voyageurs National Park are in good shape overall. The Blue Trail is open but had not yet been groomed based on last week's update. The Purple Trail is open and groomed from Rainy Lake through the Lost Bay portage. The Green Trail is open and groomed with a clearly marked reroute near the Kabetogama Visitor Center where a pressure ridge persists; watch for snowbanks. The Dashed Black Trail is open and groomed but remains rough and slower-going; and the Yellow Trail is open and staked with some potential slush areas that may be refrozen and a little rough. Continue to watch for the usual hazards like crusted areas, slush pockets, refrozen ruts and pressure ridges with some wet spots nearby, as well as hard snowdrifts on the lakes—expect surprises if you venture off trail. Use extra caution when crossing ice roads and spur banks, which are clearly marked with warning signage. As always, monitor current conditions, check things out for yourself before heading out, and remember that ice is never 100% safe. With great weather and good trails, now’s a fantastic time to ride--stay right, stay safe, and enjoy every mile out there. Area resorts and restaurants are starting to post their pre-Super Bowl and Valentine's Weekend specials. This is the best time of year to enjoy the trails, camaraderie fun here! Looking forward to seeing you on the trails! For the latest info, visit:
