It has been quiet on the area's snowmobiling trails in northeast Wisconsin. However, advocates for the activity are still working hard to ensure the tradition continues in Door and Kewaunee counties. The area has seen far below the amount of snow it usually sees for the winter months. According to the Wisconsin State Climatology Office, the state received about nine inches of snow in November and December. January has more than made up for it in past years, with double-digit totals falling four of the last five years, including 18.8 inches last year and 19.2 inches in 2020. Kewaunee Moonriders Snowmobile Club President Tom Cherovsky says the lack of snow does make it harder to keep people interested in the sport. He is proud they could keep trails open last year for nearly two weeks before eventually giving way to spring. He says even if they cannot ride, there is plenty of stuff they are doing now, hoping enough snow will fall to open the trails.

According to Travel Wisconsin, most of the state is in the same boat as Door and Kewaunee counties when it comes to trails due to a lack of snow. In fact, only three counties in far northern Wisconsin have their trails open, and only one of them is listed in fair condition.
