I for one rode both Bergland area and Iron County last weekend. Wasn't even close. Iron county much better riding. Yes, light on snow for this time of year, but I did not see any reason they shouldn't have been open.

Yep, absolutely believe that, but that’s solely due to traffic. Many who would’ve rode in WI had long holiday weekend plans already made to ride the UP because they didn’t anticipate iron and vilas opening.

Northern Iron was good, south end was acceptable to me, but I have very low standards. Lots of folks out enjoying the Northwoods. Great to see so many at the establishment's. They need the support that's for sure.

It’s also due to Wisconsin having a much greater connectivity with their trails and a greater grooming capacity with more volunteers. I like riding the UP but having just one N/S trail in WUP with the offshoot trails being shutdown (13/Freida) is a major negative. Too many sled with too little trails is a recipe for moguls.
 
It sure has been. Grand marais at noon on a Saturday the last few weekends is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Sleds on sleds on sleds.
I was up there on Friday the 17th and have never in my 50 years of riding have I seen more sleds in one area. Fortunately, we didnt need fuel.
