Prairie Riders hosted a first aid presentation for snowmobilers at 6 p.m., Wednesday, January 17, 2024 (before our meeting at 7 p.m.) at the Brat Stop.
Lt. Mark Ericson from the Bristol Fire Department gave us an introduction to trail side first aid with an emphasis on “Stopping the Bleed”. Bristol Fire and Rescue is willing to teach anyone interested in this topic or learning CPR, fire safety, etc. Just reach out to them. Here are a few photos from the presentation.
A few members (seven to be exact) gave it a go and headed to Munising for our club trip at The Buckhorn Resort. Snow cover was reported to be low but there was an expectation for snow on Friday and Saturday night. Low and behold, it happened as predicted! YAY!
The group rode together both days and enjoyed decent trails and low traffic. On Sunday, quite literally we were “busting trail” with a foot of new snow! The group went to “Big Springs” (Kitch-iti-Kipi) and rode to Miner’s Castle overlook. It was a great trip!
In Kenosha County, there is no official legal date — or ordinance, anywhere in the state — that decrees when the trails open. It is up to the local county, clubs, etc., as to when they are marked and ready. Then, they will open.
Aside from a few select exempt classifications*, all snowmobiles operating on a Wisconsin snowmobile trail or corridor must display a valid snowmobile trail pass whether registered in Wisconsin or another state.Continue reading Who Sells Wisconsin Snowmobile Trail Passes→

Need a trail map? Club members get a free snowmobile trail map for Kenosha County with their membership — just ask for one at a meeting. You can purchase a trail map at local businesses along the trail. And, new in 2022, the Kenosha County Snowmobile Alliance has posted the map for download on its website.
