Snowmobile, cross-country skiing and hiking trails open


.
Those willing to brave the cold this weekend will find area hiking and cross-country skiing trails open, said Mary Kaufmann of the La Crosse County Facilities Department.

The county has three trails on Goose Island, one in Veterans Memorial Park and one in Raymond Bice Forest Preserve, Kaufmann said.

None have been groomed yet after the recent snow, Kaufmann said, but the county hopes to have the work done by the end of next week. Grooming smooths down the trail and makes it easier to traverse, she explained.

Snowmobile trails are open as well and have been groomed, Kaufmann said. The La Crosse County Snowmobile Alliance has done a wonderful job, she said, of getting public trails open and ready.

That’s good news for Eric Williams, sales manager at Two Brothers Powersports in Onalaska, Wis., who said snowmobile sales have been brisk this winter.

“When we got that first snowstorm, we got a huge jump-start on the season,” Williams said. “This extra snow is a real shot in the arm.”
