will they open up ATV trails early this year?

[Bigbartguy]

any thoughts about whether MN will open the trails up earlier this year?

I honestly dont know if they've ever done this in the past, but believe that WI extended their ATV season last year.

they will have to assess trail conditions and weather patterns prior to opening. Areas that have received snow might be a little wet while other areas that saw dirt all winter long are in a drought.

If I were to guess now, I'd say they'll open on time.

Unfortunately MN doesn't value ATV's the same as WI (even though we have 2 MAJOR manufaturers). IMHO they will NOT open early. They will use weather, soft conditions, frost etc reasons.
