HOME & EVENTS ABOUT US TRAIL INFORMATION & CONDITIONS TRAIL PASSES


Welcome to our Trail Information & Trail Conditions page.

Vast/Clubs can open and close trails at their descretion between December 16th and April 15th.
This discretion is based on several factors including, but not limited to conditions of the trail beneath the snow,
snow conditions and landowner request. Temporary closures may be caused by lack of snow or dangerous trail conditions.
We are very dependent on the beauty of the WHITE stuff!

Good morning everyone, Steve here from the NCM. It is Saturday, January 17th. I'm out here today trying to move this little bit of snow that we have around so you guys can have the best rails possible for this weekend. Keep in mind we have very little snow cover. It is very very thin. There are open water bars and the cornfields are rough. There are some places that just totally suck. But there are some great places where the trails are absolutely amazing. So you can absolutely ride. Just be careful! Expect early season conditions and enjoy what Orleans County has to offer. Watch this grooming video Amy Dalpe put together, it's awesome!

Good morning All! Trail report for Saturday, January 3rd. We received 3-4" of snow after losing most of all the snow we had. We have been out with the groomer and moved what we had around and have put our trails in CAUTION status. The base is very very thin, so be careful. There are many wet areas and the cornfields are very rough. Expect very early season conditions if you are going to ride. We will keep you posted as we keep receiving more snow. Have a Great Weekend All And Think SNOW!

Good morning All! Hope you all had a Great Christmas. Today is Friday, 12/26/25. We received around 8" of new snow over the last several days and we are going to get the groomer back out today to start working the snow as much as possible. We had lost all of our snow about a week ago due to 50 degree weather and heavy rains. We do not recommend riding at this time. By the end of the weekend, we should have all the trails packed and the trees cleared from all the wind in the storm a week ago. So stay tuned! Hopefully the warm up on Monday is not that bad, we can continue to receive snow and can get these trails in good riding condition. Have a great weekend everyone.
