Bateman Sno-Riders Snowmobile Club

03/15/2026

Just a friendly reminder that all Chippewa County Snowmobile Trails are closed and will remain closed for the duration of this storm and after the storm.
A few things to think about -
The frost has come out of the ground and there is inches of mud on top of the fields and trails.
All rivers, streams, creeks, and swamps are thawed and flowing.
Our big lakes, Wissota and Holcombe, have open water.
No amount of snow fall with change these things. We are expecting to have downed trees and branches, brush and shrubs toppled over, crossing the trails which is extremely dangerous.
Every volunteer in this association wants to be out there snowmobiling as much as the public does. However it will not be safe to open our trails.
The safety of our community and protecting the property of our gracious landowners is our top priority.
With all that said enjoy your blizzard! Stay snowed in safely. And as always, please respect our landowners and our volunteer clubs by staying off all closed trails! ❄️❄️

If you are out on Lake Hallie, please do not use the trails to access the lake. Please do not use the trails to leave the lake to go to the establishments on OO. This means you can not ride your snowmobile through Lake Halie Golf and you can not ride your snowmobile down The old Abe Trail next to OO. These trail are closed!!!!

Please be respectful to our landowners and our volunteer clubs by staying off closed trails.
Our volunteer operators will be out in our groomers maintaining the open sections of trails. Please slow down and give them room when you come across them! Give them a wave and thank them for their time and effort.
