Snow, snow, and more snow is the news from the Forest Riders Snowmobile Club! This week we received another 12+ inches of snow and it is still snowing. The groomers have been out all week and will continue to groom as much as they can before the weekend. Riding should be good by the weekend...you may want to make sure you have a shovel and rope. Be very careful riding across lakes and non-tracked swamps. Enjoy the snow!

Even with the bitter cold temperatures, the groomers have been out all week taking care of the trails. On Monday, we received an additional 7 inches of snow and the trails are grooming up beautifully. Trails to Park Rapids, Itasca, Two Inlets, and west and north were completed as of Wednesday. Yesterday, the trails to Wolf Lake and Osage were done. The groomers will finish up the trail system today on County Road 89, County Road 4, and Trail #24.
Check out the Forest Riders Snowmobile Club on Facebook for additional trail and event updates. Plus posts and photos shared by riders out on the trails.
The weekend forecast looks to be nice and warm so riding should be excellent! Enjoy and be safe!

Last weekend, snowmobilers were out enjoying the 8 to 12 inches of new snow the area received on Monday, March 5! A huge thank you to our dedicated groomers who do a great job making our trail system outstanding!
Groomers are out this week doing spot grooming in Itasca State Park, Trails #11, #18, #21, #22, the Scout Trail, and trails from Lake George to Emmaville.
PLEASE NOTE: Trail #32 from Holiday Corner (located at the intersection of trails #31 and #32 on the Pine Forest Road) going west for about a mile has been plowed to the gravel for logging purposes. Snowmobilers are driving on the plowed sides of the trail. After this part of the trail, the Pine Forest Road, Coon Lake, and Spider Lake trails going to Itasca State Park are great riding.
Due to the warm weather forecasted for the coming weekend, it may be the last good sledding weekend for the season. Get out and enjoy the fantastic scenery of the Forest Riders snowmobile trail system!
