❄️Important Update ❄️
The Walworth County Snowmobile Alliance trails will open on Sunday, December 7 at 12:00 PM.
Please note: Whitewater trails are currently closed, as well as Trail 24 from East Troy to Racine County. Please review the map/photo below to ensure you are riding only on open trails.
Groomers are out on the system, so please ride with caution. Expect typical early-season conditions, including soft spots and wet areas.
Some additional trails remain closed and clearly marked due to standing crops, water, or downed trees. Do not go around any barriers.
We want to extend our sincere gratitude to our landowners and volunteers. The 13 clubs that make up the Alliance dedicate hundreds of hours each year marking trails, maintaining groomers, and supporting the sport. Consider joining a club and becoming an active member.
Help us by packing in the trails—and ride safely!

REMINDER THAT TRAILS ARE CLOSED. Northern Hornshoe state trails have been inspected, and we intend to start grooming this week. We will be doing damage control on our club trails this coming week. Yesterday, Friday, and today, Saturday we had teams helping do damage control on Mercer Sno-Goers trails. Today we started at the Iron County line and cleared trees on corridor 17 up to Powell Rd. Check us out on Facebook. There are pictures that do a good job showing the snow depth, and the level of tree damage out there. Iron County and northern Vilas received a lot more snow than we did, and we spent six hours slugging it out tree by tree. Wow, I am sick of pine trees. I told my wife, just like Charlie Brown, we are getting an aluminum tree this year. I saw posts by Boulder Junction, Cruisers, White Thunder, Bo-Boen, and the Bunnies. These people are moving some wood. I am soaked up over my knees. A very heartfelt thank you to these groups of hard working volunteers! Will keep you posted. Mark

Area Report:
We have been out through our entire trail system checking for down trees. Most have been cleared. We are watching the forecasts for more snow. Most of the snow we have gotten is from clippers so it is dry and fluffy. Temps have remained cold and swamps are starting to freeze up. Lakes are also starting to freeze over. Stay tuned for more info on when we can open the trails for the season. Keep doing your snow dances!

It is Thursday, December 4, 0600 hours, and -7 right now. TRAILS ARE NOT OPEN. I guess people are calling the presidents, and trail bosses, of many clubs and asking them when trails will open. With internet, and social media, I struggle with calling these guys, but maybe it is like the weather, you call a local boots on the ground. We were out two days, with 12-20 volunteers, and we are ALMOST to where you could get a groomer to walk through casually. North of here, it is a jungle. They need help. I see where Holly T posted a flier on one of the Vilas groups asking for help. We have to put up our snow tarp on the Powell marsh bridge tomorrow, then whoever we can muster will move north to help our friends in Mercer. Saturday we will send anyone we can to help our Cruiser friends. When our one Hornshoe groomer went down, both of these clubs responded with help in hours. I joined both of these clubs for that reason. I also belong to White Thunder because five of them fixed my ski in their shop one day. Chainsaws, tractors, loaders – if you have it, offer it. If you can pull brush, offer to help.If you can’t work outside, offer inside help. I guess Cruisers is feeding people. Go help in their cool kitchen. My understanding is Mercer can set it up so you can use your sled. STAY OFF TRAILS unless you have been signed up on the list to operate. If you are not cleared in advance, you are subject to fines. I was told Great Northern in Mercer, and Boulder Motor Lodge in Boulder, have reduced room rates for volunteers. I have seen the Northwoods take care of its own during storms and power outages. Once again, we raise the colors and march into battle. ( But not before the sun comes up, it gets a little warmer, and I have some more coffee, maybe a warm muffin.) As you get older, “charge” , turns into “mosey”. Stay warm. Mark
