UPDATE: Wednesday, February 1, 2012

While the days are milder this week, overnight grooming is being planned, weather permitting. Daytime temps will be in the 30’s through Sunday with temps at night in the 20’s. Best riding is early in the day as trails will soften up by midafternoon with the milder weather.

Season snowfall to date: 73"

Check back here often for updates or contact the chamber.

SNOWMOBILE TRAILS

IN ALL AREAS: Please stop at stop signs. Keep in mind the groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, and PLEASE pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them. The time you spend riding in Big Snow Country is all about lots of fun and a great time ... therefore, your safety is our #1 priority.

ABOUT THE ICE: It's time for our usual caution. There is no such thing as “safe” ice due to underwater currents. If you plan to go out, be sure you talk to locals where you intend to ride for more information about the ice depth and other factors. Be aware that you will be riding at your own risk.

GAS STATION UPDATE: The gas station in Paulding is closed, so plan ahead for filling up.

TOO MANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS are in the news each year. Many are alcohol- and speed-related. We want you to have a great time on our trails here in Big Snow Country, so please use your good common sense and save your drinking for after the ride.
