Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 23, 2023

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-16”

Date of Report: January 23, 2023

Area Report:

All trails groomed again last night except the cemetery trail. Trail Boss Chad was in there on Friday and there was one soft spot in the swamp area. Not a problem right now with sled traffic, but the Tucker is a bit heavier. Rather than risk getting it stuck, he only went thru that section once and was leaving it alone to freeze up better.
Other than that, all the other trails groomed in nice after the heavy weekend traffic.

News and Reports:

We have a spot that sleds are riding off trail. This is on Trail 3 where sleds are going past a barrier and caution tape to ride on the ATV trail. We don’t have permissions for snowmobiling on this private land. Please stay on the trail.

If you find a condition that you need to report to the Conover Sno-Buddies like a down tree, water on the trail, etc, either message us on Facebook, use the contact page on our website, or even notify a local establishment. They know how to get a hold of us to fix the issue.

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Along Hwy K West, there were several 100 trees removed this summer to place new electric poles. Most of the stumps are still there. If you were to hit one, it could ruin your trip quickly. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.

Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – January 23, 2023

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 10+

Date of Report: January 23, 2023

Area Report:

There has been a recent dusting of snow across the county. Area Clubs & County Staff are continuing to maintain a close eye on trails and their conditions. All of the clubs are reporting the trails to be in great condition for riding. There are some areas and sections of trails getting soft with the recent rain and warmer temps at the beginning of the week. Cooler temps & more snow is in the forecast so the trail base should harden back up and create great riding for the remainder of the season. Please remember to ride with caution and stay on designated trail surfaces. Clubs are out grooming and maintaining the trails on a regular basis so please use caution when you encounter grooming equipment

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – January 23, 2023

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4-8”

Date of Report: January 23, 2023

Snowmobile Information:

Gadzooks there were a lot of snowmobiles this weekend. Hornshoe, trails are in overall good condition. Groomer Mike reported there are some icy spots in the Raven lake area, and due to the strange sleet we had yesterday morning, didn’t all fill in but overall there’s plenty of snow. The trail along Highway F is in amazing shape. 17, the grade, is in good condition from Woodruff all the way up to H. There is still snow all the way up to where Mercer takes over just on the edge of the Powell marsh, but there is gravel showing in spots between the bridge and the Mercer line, and it’s thin around the bridge out in the middle of the marsh. Trail 5 into the casino is good. As of this morning, everything is groomed, and it is currently 12°. Hopefully it sets up well, but the areas that are prone to potholes tend to open up with heavy traffic. Some new snow would be nice, the heavy traffic tends to make the snow a little sugary. The MS riders will be staying at the casino this weekend starting Thursday. There are hundreds of riders that take donations for MS in order to ride. Northern Hornshoe club is cooking up food and activities for them this coming Friday. Anyone interested in volunteering to help can show up at our groomer shed on Friday morning at 8 AM. The groomer shed is located at the Lac du Flambeau transfer station on Highway H. Should be another busy weekend for the trail system. Ride, safe, respect and appreciate our landowners, and thank our sponsors. Mark

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Very Good

Heavy traffic all weekend. Trails in Very Good shape. Temps were in the mid 20’s during the day & teens at night all weekend. This will continue Friday with SNOW on Friday. Saturday the temps are forecast to drop to single digits during the day & below zero at night for the next 2 weeks. There was a schiff of SNOW later last night. Plenty of SNOW on the trails but a SNOW DANCE to bring some fresh SNOW would be great. The young man on the left rode along with the driver over the weekend. Future of grooming in Eagle River!

Did not ride this weekend as we were volunteering at the Derby Track for the races. Plan to get out today or tomorrow. Riders I spoke to said trails in great shape. Did soften up a bit with all the traffic. No problems to report.

Full grooming ALL weekend. Saw groomer out on Trail 10E & in town when heading home last night from the Derby Track.

Do know Eagle & Catfish Lake trails still have drifts off the marked trail so please stay by the orange reflective barrels. Remember not all lakes are safe.

NOTE: Off of Trail 70W after entering St. Germain is a trail locals call “The Goat” trail. It is a Club Trail that starts at TIN 287 to TIN 288 that is CLOSED. It is clearly marked as CLOSED with fencing & signs. Please do not ride through this area from either direction. DO NOT RIDE ON HWY 70 as this is not legal. Right click on the photo to open a larger version.

On snowmobile designated road routes need to follow the speed limit set for the road for all vehicles.

Last, off trail riding is a big problem. Click here & PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL & Take the Snowmobilers Pledge.

Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! THINK COLD!

See ya on the trails real soon!

Trail Report – : Sugar Camp, Wisconsin – January 22, 2023

Reporter:Matt Winters

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 18″-22″

Date of Report: January 22, 2023

Area Report:

Trails have been holding together fairly well considering the warmer temperatures and higher than normal traffic we’ve been seeing. A couple corners have become icy so use caution when entering a corner. With some cooler temperatures heading our way at night this upcoming week I would expect them to improve and stay together much better than they did last week.
