Sugarbush Trails - Britton Peak & Moose Fence in Tofte
Groomer's Notes: 12/04/2019: Grooming continues on our trail system. Onion River Road, West Oberg, and Summit View are groomed for skate and classic. Britton Peak trails, including Hogback and Bridge run were groomed this morning. Homestead Loop and the connector will be done in the near future. The best ski conditions are on the Onion River Road. All other trails have uneven decks and water in some areas - Ski with Caution. The Oberg warming cabin opened this morning for the season. The cabin used to be a US Forest Service cabin and was moved to its present location in 2012. There is a wood stove, table, and guest book inside of the cabin. Enjoy! Reminder: Dogs and bicycles are not allowed on the Sugarbush ski trail system. There are two exceptions for having dogs on the trail: Summit View and Upland Loop at Moose Fence trailhead are open to dogs. Winter cycling is available in Cook County with information available on Superior Cycling's website at Superior Cycling Association.
