Although Door and Kewaunee counties received a few inches of snowfall this week, other factors impacting the trails may delay openings later this season. Dean Simonar, Vice-President and Sales Manager with Simonar Sports in Luxemburg, says many of the trails wind through typically open fields that still currently have standing corn or unharvested soybeans.
Simonar says concerns still remain oversaturated soil conditions where wetland trails are located. The Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs estimates millions of dollars for local economies are realized annually through snowmobiling. Algoma was recognized as an AWSC Snowmobile Friendly City in 2019.
