This is the same for us. All SG trails will remain closed for the time being. The ground is just to soft under the snow. Please respect land owners.

Just a reminder all SG trails remained closed no matter how much snow we get for numerous reasons. Please respect land owners. Check back here for official updates.

⚠️Trails remain closed‼️
While we’re thrilled to have a measurable early season snow fall, there’s still a lot of work to be done. The majority of the system was prepped in recent weeks but hunting season and a late harvest is holding us up a bit. However, progress is being made!
There’s a lot of “behind the scenes” work to be done but know that the priority level is high. Our volunteer club members are working tirelessly to finish installing signs and working with our beloved landowners to get their blessings to open the gates.
What’s the timing look like? It’s really difficult to tell. I do know that you have time to get your preseason maintenance done and your sled shined up! We’ll inform the public once the trail system is completely safe and ready to open.
For the time being, please reach out to your local club and find out how you can help. Any help is appreciated!! New members are always welcome!
Finally, THANK YOU to all the volunteers that are working on the trails and in the background, and to our landowners for partnering with us to make our snowmobile trail system possible‼️
Stay tuned‼️

~REFER TO UPDATED FORECAST~

~Major Winter Storm Friday Afternoon-Sunday~

A major winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall totals and major travel impacts Friday night, Saturday, and Saturday night. An initial wave of accumulating snow will move through the Northern Plains Friday before gradually moving into IA after sunset Friday. The main wave of moisture will rapidly come together Friday night over these areas and gradually move east through the day Saturday. Snow is expected to fall for 18-24 hours in the heaviest areas, leading to high accumulations.

Snowfall totals of 8-12" is expected for portions of IA, MN, IL, WI, and MI. Snowfall rates will be around an inch an hour at times and snow falling for up to 24 hours will lead to a prolonged period of travel, including air travel, being affected. Snowfall totals will sharply drop on the south side because that's where the rain/snow line will be. There will likely be a sharp cutoff on the northern edge because of dry air. We will have an updated snowfall forecast this evening or tomorrow morning.
