The trail conditions listed above can only be as accurate and up to date as riders like you help us make them. Also please report any damaged or stolen signs etc., the sooner we know the sooner our volunteers can fix them. - Respect all trail users…
The vast majority of the trails in the Yukon are considered “multi-use”. This means they are open to snowmobilers, skiiers, dog sledders, ATVers, bikers, hikers, and everything in between. Please respect all the user groups, and slow down and give extra room when passing others on the trails. - Please give right-of-way to groomers…
Sleds towing groomers are far heavier and less maneuverable than most other sleds on the trail. For the safety of both yourself and our volunteers please slow down and give them the right of way. Also be aware that our groomers may be on any of our trails, at any time of day or night. - Please note wheeled vehicles (light trucks, ATVs, side by sides, dirtbikes, etc.) are not allowed on the trails from November 1st to March 31st each year. All it takes is one wheeled vehicle to ruin a trail’s snow base for everyone else.
- For gate access please call us at 667-7680. Every year countless volunteer hours and donated funds are wasted repairing and replacing torn down gates, meanwhile there was a perfectly good key sitting beside a perfectly good phone.
