Date of Report: January 29, 2026
Area Report:
At 8:00 AM it’s -1 degrees out with sunny skies and warming up to 10 degrees today followed
by a warmup into the low twenties by the weekend.
We last groomed 15N/6E Tuesday night, 2W/8W/51 Wednesday evening and 8E/15S/11 early
this morning. Generally, the trails are in very good shape being flat with plenty of snow base.
We do have a few problem spots that have developed moguls due to the heavy traffic. One is
the combined 2W/8W trail from town out to the 8W/2W intersection which has been double
groomed to keep smooth. The other is a small section of 15S south of Nebish Road which has
some depressions along the way in which we are working on daily to smooth out. Once you get
south of the 15S/11 Sayner intersection, the trail is great down to County N.
Please ride safe while on our area trails and stop in and patronize our local businesses.
Look for an updated trail report on Monday, 2/2.

At this time ALL Trails in Washburn County are now officially open. With the recent snow accumulations trails are now packed and groomed and have a sustainable trail base. Additional snow accumulations have helped the trails out tremendously and grooming reports have been coming in with positive feedback. All trails across the County are in good condition. Remember that grooming and maintenance activities continue throughout the season. Use caution while riding, watch for trail equipment, and enjoy the trails responsibly. If you encounter any trail issues such as downed trees, limbs, or debris, please report them to Washburn County Forestry at 715-635-4490.
Please be advised that ice conditions continue to vary and traveling on any lake is never 100% safe. Washburn County Forestry does not maintain anything past the high ground point. Please use caution if you are out on any lake.

Trail Conditions: Excellent
Snow Cover: Decent
Date of Report: January 28, 2026
Area Report:
The majority of the Barnstormer’s trail system is in excellent condition and continues to groom out nicely. There are some select areas with deeper ruts/mogals that will only get better with some fresh wet snow to fill them. Trail 7 north out of Star Lake is our most challenging section due to heavy traffic and no new snow. Ice is becoming more exposed in corners, so please be aware of this.
While we aren’t always able to groom our entire system every night, we are grooming nightly. We’re trying to make sure all sections get done at least every other night.
As I’ve mentioned previously, you will find your best riding in the mornings and early afternoons. Areas with high traffic can get beat up rather quickly, but overall, there is some amazing riding available!
Remember, if you aren’t able to keep your sled on your side of the trail as you enter corners, you’re going too fast and putting the safety of others at risk! You can drive too slow many times, but you may only drive too fast once! SAFETY TRUMPS EGO!
Ride RIght & Ride Safe!
Mark your calendars for these upcoming Barnstormer events:
Saturday, February 7 – Chili dump at The Murm from 2:00 – 5:00.
Sunday, February 15 – Pizza fundraiser at Hillside Tavern from 4:00 – 8:00.
