Trail Report
3/30/2023: We have some fantastic news!! Due to the awesome snow conditions we get to extend our season a little bit this year while these conditions continue to hold up. IVSC will continue to groom everything on the East end of our system as well as the Arrowhead and to The Junction. We will continue to maintain these sections until the trail conditions start to deteriorate or we are no longer allowed.
We are only maintaining the noted trails and this is because the state has kept the Arrowhead trail open, we have DNR approval for our portion is the Arrowhead and we have talked with the landowners of the GIA trails. All of our other trails will not be maintained.
We want to remind ATV/UTV users to stay off of the snowmobile trails. Many of the winter trails are not permitted for ATV/UTV use at anytime of the year. The only trail that is ridable for those machines, once grooming and snowmobile season is over, is The Blue Ox Trail. All other trails are closed to ATV/UTV's even when still frozen but out of the snowmobile season.
Enjoy your weekend and please be safe out there. We will keep you updated as we move into the weekend and next week.
Thanks, The Trail Boss
