Area Report:
Vilas County has officially announced a TEMPORARY closing of the trails effective 3/10/26 at 8:00 AM.
By calling it temporary, they leave the possibility of reopening if conditions allow for it. There is some snow forecast this week, but high temps still in the mid to upper 30s. Not a lot of promise.
If they don’t reopen, thank you to everyone that rode the Barnstormer trails this season. We greatly appreciate the support you’ve given our club and our local businesses.
Don’t forget about the drawing to give away a 2025 Polaris 650 VR-1! There is still time to purchase raffle tickets! The drawing will be held at Sayner Pub on March 14 @ 5:00 PM!
Here are a few statistics going back as far as the 2005/2006 season. The average number of days the trails have been open is 78, with the longest season being 2012/2013 at 111 days! This season was 81 days. The earliest we’ve ever opened is December 9, that was in 2010. The latest we’ve ever opened was January 17, that was just last season!
