Northern Wisconsin Snowmobile Trails

Well our Winter Storm Warning was a bust! We could have used the 6" to 10" they were calling for. Trails are in fair condition overall but there are some poor spots out there. The Cross Country Cruisers want to remind EVERYONE to SLOW DOWN and ride under control at all times. The base is ice and can cause slippery conditions at anytime - not just in the corners. We wish everyone a Happy and SAFE New Year!
