Snowmobiling

Ride. Tour. Roam. Smile.

Miles of trail to explore

Ride 330 miles of expertly groomed snowmobile trails that trace beautiful frozen rivers and travel through the hills and forests of Rusk County. The area gets consistent snowfall each winter, providing a long snowmobiling season and excellent trail conditions. Nine devoted local clubs maintain the county's snowmobile trails and host a number of events throughout the year. Trails run along historic rivers and through majestic white pine forests. Some of the most scenic portions of the trail system run through the Blue Hills north of Weyerhaeuser and Bruce in western Rusk County. Three heated warming shelters are located along Rusk County's trails to serve riders. The shelters include Franklin stoves, picnic tables and an ample supply of firewood.

Cross-Country Ski Trails 
Even with warmer temps trails are in good condition in most spots, and some grooming is still occurring.  The forecast is calling for subfreezing overnight conditions so that will help maintain trails.

Today's Report from the Blue Hills Trails -
The base is generous. March freeze/thaw cycles have arrived. Since the grooming frequency will be decreasing now, try to time your visit to coincide with each morning's 'magic window' when rising temps and sunshine create a softening skiable trail surface.

Wide flat skate deck, very good conditions today. Nearly effortless skating Sunday morning thanks to grooming creating a fresh sugar snow corduroy that provided good edge control on the rocket fast trails. Unfortunately the base is so hard that it can't be dented to set a classic track.

WE'VE GONE TO THE DOGS! For the rest of the winter, we'll limit our grooming to the East Side trails. DOGS ARE WELCOME ON THE EAST SIDE TRAILS THE REMAINDER OF THE SNOW SEASON. Dogs are always welcome on the West Side trails.

NOTE: the West Side trails remain very skiable, they just won't receive grooming.

Ladysmith Area Trails
Today's Report from the Sisters Farm Trails -

The west side fat bike trails were groomed last night and they should set up well. With some moisture the next couple of days the riding should be excellent this weekend. With the warm temps and rain in the forecast please stay off the trails if they are soft.

Ski. Jim tolled the east side trails and they also are in pretty good shape. He will maybe do a run over on Friday after the rain to set them up for the weekend.
