Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – December 23, 2025

Reporter:snobuddies
Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: 4-6”
Date of Report: December 23, 2025
Area Report:

Our trails were lightly groomed on Sunday night It was more of checking the system for any problem areas. North Twin Lake was marked today. There is a large ice heave out in the middle of the lake. Use caution crossing it until it settles down. I haven’t heard if any other lakes have been marked yet.

This is going to be early season riding with a lot of thin areas of snow. Swamps have been packed down, but are thin for snow coverage. With all the down trees across the whole county, you will find several areas with sticks and mulch on the trails. All the clubs have spent several days to weeks cleaning up to get to this point.

Please stay on the trails, riding off the trail to get fresh snow is trespassing and what leads to us loosing trails on private property.

If lakes aren’t marked with barrels, please stay off till they are marked. Don’t stray away from barrels on marked lakes.

Ride Right, Ride Safe

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – December 22, 2025

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 6-10″

Date of Report: December 22, 2025

Area Report:

At 8:00 am it’s 12 degrees out with cloudy skies and gradually warming up to 32 degrees today.
Well, our trails held up surprisingly well over opening weekend! The cold temps helped
preserve our thin base and the trails were smooth with minimal bumps and bare spots.
Our groomers have been out and groomed 15N/6E late Saturday night, 8E, 8W, and 2W last
night, and 15S early this morning to be ready for mid-week riders. Our trails are in very good
condition right now.
We have highs in the low 30’s predicted for all week with no new snow until Friday. With the
warmer temps, get out early to enjoy the best riding as this warm-up and sled traffic will wear
down our base and we will start seeing some bare spots along the way.
Please ride safe and be aware of some remaining trail debris that will go away with more snow.
Look for an updated holiday trail report on Friday, 12/26!

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – December 21, 2025

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 20 inches

Date of Report: December 21, 2025

Area Report:

We have received a little over 70 inches of snow through out most of the Keweenaw area. The groomers have been out and most of our trails are being hit at least a couple times a week. It’s still like early season riding in the areas that haven’t received as much snow. We’re coming into Christmas week so ride right and ride safe.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – December 21, 2025

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Minimal

Date of Report: December 21, 2025

Area Report:

It’s a good thing we didn’t listen to all the naysayers that said we opened too early and that the trails would be trashed after one day!

Every sledder I spoke to over the weekend talked about how good the trails were! My wife & I road yesterday & hit trails in Sayner, Star Lake, Conover, Phelps & Land O’ Lakes. Even though it’s a very thin base, it was all fairly flat and so much fun! We even saw Santa out on his Scorpion. I heard the same reports from people who rode in the St. Germain, Boulder Junction and Presque Isle sytems.

Yes, we do need more snow, for sure. Without it, we’ll begin to see more icy conditions as traffic increases over the holiday week. For now, don’t hesitate to go out and enjoy what we have.

The Barnstormers will be grooming on a very limited basis until we get more snow. Excessive grooming right now will do more damage than good. Start doing your snow dances!!

Ride RIght & Ride Safe!

Mark your calendars for these upcoming Barnstormer events:

Wednesday, December 31 – Breakfast at Sayner Pub from 9:00 – Noon. Blessing of the sleds at 12:30 under the arch.

Saturday, January 10 – Brats on the trail at TIN #217 from 10:00 – 4:00.

Saturday, January 17 – Breakfast at Stillwaters from 8:00 – 11:00.

Sunday, February 15 – Pizza fundraiser at Hillside Tavern from 4:00 – 8:00.

Saturday, March 14 – Drawing for Snowmobile Raffle at Sayner Pub at 5:00!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – December 21, 2025

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 3-8″

Date of Report: December 21, 2025

Snowmobile Information:

Ok, today was my first run. I did not see any sleds, but did run into trail boss Nick in the pickup. We both agreed for low snow, we are in good shape right now. Starting south at Mattke Rd, it is thinner down there. You see more gravel between there and F. F trail is thin, but runnable. 17 starting at Wishow Rd going north is great. There is an ice base with snow on top, so the more studs you have, the happier you will be. Trail 1 up Stearns Lake Rd has snow to run. If the plows don’t scrape to the dirt line, we are good for now. Raven Lake area is wide open, and good. Trail 5 into the casino is thinner, but good.17 from 5 north is great. I ran up to our Kiosk on the grade at the iron county line, and other than about 200 yards around the bridge, the grade is great. A couple of hearty souls have bypassed the bridge. No wet spots I could see. The high winds helped us in the marsh. Anyone thinking of riding south to visit will have a good run. Cold temps have been an asset. Nick said we will pan tonight, Sunday. I won’t be grooming until further notice, so if you see a blond guy that looks 7 feet tall in the tractor, that is my replacement. I would say Christmas will be good riding, just keep an eye on warmer temps, and sunshine. Have a Merry Christmas! Mark
