Markesan Sno-Drifters Steak Fry

Yes, I know there's snow on the ground, but after all, we are a snowmobile club. We've been asked by many of our regulars, and even Vandy's if we would be interested in having a winter steak fry, so we said sure.

Monday February 22nd, 5:00 - 8 or 9:00pm

@ Vandy's Lakeside Pub, Little Green Lake.

Bring the sled (hopefully we'll still have snow), they're on the trail. Hope to see you all there.

1/24/10 - With temps in the mid to upper 30's and rain all night the Sno-Drifter trail system is CLOSED. Hopefully there will be a drastic turn around in this weather pattern, and snow returns to the area in order to reopen the trails.

Think Snow.

1/19/10 - Well I couldn't believe my eyes when I got back from The Eagle River Derby, but the Sno-Drifter trails survived much better than the trails up north. There are some bare spots, but they appear to be few and far between. With sunny skies and temps in the 40's in Eagle River I could only imagine what the weather was 200 miles to the south, but it was actually cooler here than up north, which is good for us. So I would still call the Sno-Drifter trails as GOOD - VERY GOOD condition.

Be Careful, & Happy Trails.

1/12/10 - WARNING - Strong winds across the open fields Sunday afternoon created heavy drifting across the trail and rough conditions in areas, Please use caution until the groomer can circulate throughout the various sections to take care of this problem.

We did have an accident on the trail Saturday afternoon, where a women fell from her sled, she was transported to a hospital for observation and at this time I have not heard of her condition. Thank You to all the local Law Enforcement and Rescue Personnel for your quick response in helping provide medical assistance to her. Again ride safe and within your own personal comfort zone.

Warm whether is predicted for all of the State starting mid week, we don't know what effect this will have on the trails (but niether do the weathermen), as I will be out of town throughout the weekend, if there are any questions as to if the trail is open please call the hotline for the latest conditions.

Be Careful, & Happy Trails.

Come ride the scenic trails of south central Wisconsin, in Green Lake County. The Markesan Sno-Drifters maintain & groom approximately 50 miles of scenic trails, 23 miles of which being Wisconsin State Corridor #9. In addition, we also groom approximately 18 miles of adjoining clubs trails for a total of 68 miles of scenic riding, with a vast variety of trails ranging from woods, meadows, marsh, & fields. Although snow conditions can be varied, when conditions are good, our trails are great !

So leave the heavy trail traffic behind, and come ride the lesser-known beauty of Green Lake County, and the trails of "The Markesan Sno-Drifters".
