Well, we ended up having a great time, despite the crappy weather. Rode all day Thu and went from Rhinelander to Hazelhurst and looped back. Was surprised with the Bearskin, as there's always reports of it being bad. To our surprise, plenty of good snow. It was snirty in spots, but not terrible. By the evening we ran into some sleet, which made it slightly a challenge on the way back. Friday's ride was cut shorter due to the warm up and rain that eventually caught up to us. We had gone over to Three Lakes that day. We decided to get a good dinner and make other plans for Saturday. Even though the trails were still open, we didn't want to contribute to more deterioration of them and our sleds. So, we rode tripped Saturday for some sight seeing to Three Lakes, Eagle River, and St. Germain. Good time still, even though would've liked to have been riding on sled. Couldn't believe all the people we saw still out riding. Gotta say locals were friendly and we found some good places to eat and hang out. Will be back again next year. As for the trails themselves, aside from the weather, they were good. Only really ran into a couple of stretches, which weren't taken care of. Thanks for the above responses, which helped us decide on routes.
