Snowmobilers will not be allowed on active timber sales without permission from the logger. (That holds true for hunters, firewood and bough cutters or any other person recreating in the forest.) Snowmobilers will be able to enjoy the ungroomed, untouched virgin snow that the area can provide over a vast area to explore the wilderness. Off-trail snowmobilers, also known as boondockers, use GPS, plat books, aerial photos and other maps available to explore the forest during the winter. Iron County boasts 173,000 acres of county forest with approximately 3,000 acres logged each year, the majority of logging during frozen or winter conditions. That leaves about 170,000 acres for recreation. The coounty receives more than 200 inches of snow on average each season. Neighboring Gogebic County in the Upper Peninsula also has forests open to off-road snowmobiling. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/ - Season Opening Whitecap Mountains - Season Opening Indianhead Mountain Ski Resort - Season Opening Big Powderhorn Mountain Ski Resort - Season Opening Blackjack Ski Resort Fri 12/31/2010 New Year's Celebration EVERYWHERE!!!
