WINTER 2009-2010 SNOWMOBILE TRAIL REPORT

 
We appreciate your visit to our area!  Thank You!  Happy Trails!

ARROWHEAD STATE TRAIL - thanks to the MN DNR
3/3
/2010: Conditions: good  Trail groomed? yes  Trail base: 0-4"  Local snow depth is 12-14"
The snow base and trail conditions are deteriorating due to warm temperatures and sunshine. Open areas and south
facing slopes have really lost snow. Grooming has ceased pending additional snow. Conditions should be fair to good on
most stretches for the weekend, but expect some bare patches, exposed rocks and dirt. Please use caution, especially on corners and hills.

ASH RIVER/KABETOGAMA AREA - thanks Phil & Ellen at Gateway Store, Kabetogama
3/1/2010 - Snowmobile trails still very ride-able on land, compliment the lake trail system which is still in great shape.
If any snow comes our way soon, your best riding might still be in March.


VTSI UPDATED - 3/4/2010:
Warmer weather over the next few days is the making of spring.  Trails will be groomed
and temps during the evening and night are going to be perfect. Come enjoy the perfect weather for riding and the
Crane Lake Challenge on Saturday in Crane Lake.

   
If you have questions please email David Dill, rep.david.dill@house.mn.

INTERNATIONAL FALLS AREA - thanks to Int'l Voyageurs Snowmobile Club
3/1/2010: The trails are in fair/good shape at this time. The warm weather might be a little rough on them but
hopefully we have a little more cold and snow in the future forecast. Don't want the season to end quite yet.

CRANE LAKE AREA - thanks to Crane Lake Visitor & Tourism Bureau
1/23/2010: Warmer temps last week compacted the trails nicely.  Local clubs are still grooming land trails on a normal schedule of
at least three times per week.  It rained last night which made things a bit slippery, but the rain has turned to snow and we are expected
 to get 4-10 inches of snow.....that's what the folks who "know" are saying. Everyone in the business hopes they are correct.  Lake riding
remains in good condition, and the trails have deteriorated a bit, but are in good shape, and there are few complaining about them.
Area resorts are here ready to serve you!

VOYAGEURS NAT'L PARK

/2010:   The best snowmobiling of the winter season is now occurring in Voyageurs
 National Park and the surrounding community.  All snowmobile trails in the
 park, including the Chain of Lakes Trail, are open and in excellent
 condition. With the addition of the new ice road that circumvents Dryweed
 Island, Voyageurs National Park staff would like to remind visitors that
 the intent of the ice road is for day use enjoyment of the area.

Please remember that the snowmobile speed limit within Voyageurs National
Park is 45 mph on frozen lake surfaces and 25 mph on all overland portages.
Speed limit signs are posted at trailheads and overland portages.  Weekly
winter trail conditions reports are available on our website at
