Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 6-12
Date of Report: March 16, 2022
Area Report:
Spring has sprung and our trails are deteriorating quickly. There is still a lot of snow on the ground, especially in the northern part of the county, but with the temperatures in the forecast snow won’t last long. There’s probably time to get in one last ride but temper your expectations.
Some trouble spots to note:
Namakagon Trail Groomers: We are done grooming. There’s still snow on trails but will probably diminish quickly this week. It’s saying 50 for Wed!!
Barnes Barnestormers: Barnes is done as of last Thursday 3/10/22.
Iron River: Trail 1 north is pretty solid yet. But the roads are bad. Jeff groomed on Friday, 3/11/22 for the last time.
Washburn Valhellers: All of the Washburn Valhellers trails were freshly groomed prior to the warm up. They will provide great evening rides for anyone wanting to get a ride or two in before putting their sleds away. But Mother Nature is unpredictable, so who knows! Grooming will be in a holding pattern until further notice. Out of Valhalla we’re pretty much done with the warm temperatures. Possibly Groom on Friday night and Saturday night. But still lots of snow on the trails.
South Shore Trail Club: Went grooming Monday and Tuesday, most trails are still great however access into all 3 South Shores towns is not very good. Port Wing is ok from the south. Herbster is all pavement or gravel and Corny has logging on both sides of town, I had to turn around yesterday due to mud.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Wednesday, 3/16/22:
It’s 37 degrees out with a high of 52 degrees for today. We officially have suspended grooming this past Sunday. The Vilas County Alliance is meeting tonight to vote on a closing date. There were sleds out yesterday, but with the warm temps today, this will probably will be our last day to get a ride in.
Stayed tuned in for a final report after the closing date is announced.

Area Report:
As of this AM, trails are still listed as open. Vilas county meeting is tonight where I suspect the vote will be to close the trails. Next 7 days have temperatures above freezing and that March sun has done its damage. Maybe some trails in the wooded areas are still holding, but anything in the sun is down to nothing.
This has been a great year with the minimal amount of snow we received. The groomers made the best out of what they had to work with.

Well folks, that’s a wrap. Here is the message regarding Oneida County Snowmobile Trail system.
THE ONEIDA COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL SYSTEM INCLUDING ALL
STATE FUNDED AND CLUB FUNDED TRAILS ARE SCHEDULED TO CLOSE
ON THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 2022 AT 12:00 NOON.
Hodag Sno-Trails hopes everyone had a safe season and some fun out there this season.
Our club would like to recognize our landowners (over 125) just on Hodag Sno-Trails system for allowing trails on their property. If it wasn’t for them, we would be riding roads and ditches, versus the World Class Trail System we all enjoy.
In addition, to the club members for the volunteer labor needed to work on the yearly landowner permissions, trail mapping, trail marking, brushing and maintenance of the trails and equipment. Last but not least to the groomer drivers for putting in the hours to pack and groom the trails throughout the season.
Thank you for the efforts!!

Icy
March 16, 2022 – 7:42am – 33 degrees – High 53 – Low 31
Well it looks like the riding may be at an end in Eagle River. Snow getting sloppy. In town there is snirt & even dirt in many places. North side of Trail 10E does have snow but it’s snirty, bare & icy. South side of Trail 10E is still snow covered but it’s crystalized. Temps only dropped to high 20’s last night & are already up to 33.
Groomer Tracking (GTS) shows no grooming over night. Sno-Eagles have stopped grooming.
The Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance meets tonight in Presque Isle. There will be a vote on when to close the trails. In the meantime if you go out for one more ride PLEASE NO OFF TRAIL RIDING. Trails are on land that Clubs have to get easements for. The even goes for Federal, State & County land. We have easements of permission for it all. So please don’t jeopardize the trails.
It appears the barrels are off Catfish lake. So I am assuming they are off Eagle lake as well. Suggest not going out on either lake.
Can hear The Fat Lady practicing.
Check tomorrow for the closing date!
