Well folks, the cross country cruisers are done with grooming unless we get dumped on but 40s next week does not look good, the groomers have been out the last days but with the ice they were not able to cut the moguls so grooming did not do much. It has been a good year and we look forward to seeing you next year and thank you for supporting our snowmobile clubs.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – March 11, 2022

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: Crusty icy snow

Date of Report: March 11, 2022

Area Report:

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Expect ALL Conditions – Head into the woods trails
Icy

March 11, 2022 – 7:53am – 12 – High 14 – Low 7below

March weather continues. Teens for highs today & tomorrow. SNOW Saturday afternoon. 1-2 inches. Then the temps pop up on Monday with SNOW Monday night into Tuesday. No totals yet. From Wednesday forward temps pop way up.

Trails should hold their own today. Mostly cloudy with maybe a little sun. Only 14 for a high. Trails are crusty in most places from the ice storm last weekend, sunny days & then deep freeze night. Be aware that conditions this time of year change quickly & are very slippery. Trails that are on the south side of roads will be much better than those on north side. Trail 10E one way headed east pretty good. Trail 10E one way heading west back to town not so good. Trail 70W from Eagle River Inn west of Eagle River heading west is on the north side & not so good. Both north side trails have a lot of burn through. “The Grade” section of 13 heading into town pretty good. It has a limestone base so the burn through just doesn’t happen there. Through town really crusty. Crossing not so good. As for the rest let you know tomorrow. Going out.

Groomer Tracking (GTS) shows no grooming over night.

Biggest complaint I have been hearing all season is about off trail riding. Folks the Clubs of Vilas County work very hard to secure easements from private landowners & folks we are losing many due to off trail riding. There is NO LEGAL OFF TRAIL RIDING ANYWHERE IN VILAS COUNTY. So PLEASE NO OFF TRAIL RIDING.

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. Stay by the orange reflective barrels. Surface slush. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. Several sleds have gone in the water this season far from the barrels.

Get out & ride might be near the end. See the Fat Lady. Not singing but getting ready.

See ya on the Trails !

March 10, 2022

Hello Riders!

A quick update; crews completed brushing and were able to groom trail 9 from Hayward Power Sports to Round Lake, trail 3/5 north to Lost Land Lake Lodge, Red Deer and Reel Livin. Trail 3 north of Lost Land to Lake Namakagon is brushed and groomed. Trail 18 from Tiger Cat Flowage to Callahan Lake was cleaned up and is smooth.

The Chippewa Flowage businesses close after the first weekend in March however due to still having good snow and some riding conditions in their area some have opened back up this week through Sat. Those businesses reported to have re-opened for the weekend are; Deerfoot, Johnsons Resort and Chief Lake Lodge.

So if you are looking for one last good weekend to ride you can go north from Hayward Power Sports to Lake Namakagon on 3/5 and 3, or 3/5 to 18 to the Chippewa Flowage and ride the Flowage and then go south towards Birchwood, Winter, Loretta and hop on the Tuscobia.

Have a safe weekend!

Trail Report – : Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – March 7, 2022

Reporter:Manitowish Waters Chamber

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 9- 10 inches

Date of Report: March 7, 2022

Area Report:

The MW Sno Skeeters trails are in good condition. We had an ice storm Saturday that turned into the heavy wet snow we like to see! The rain didn’t really hurt and the wet snow helped the base. Riders all weekend were presently surprised!

This from last nights groomer Ben Reichert: “They turned out really good. I would say the are all in good condition. Happy I had the chain saw. Riders were getting through , but I needed to clean fair amount!” (Trees and branches down from the ice storm, cleaned up by Bennie last night)

This is a great time of year to ride: good conditions and less traffic, so get out and enjoy while you can.

Vilas Trails can stay open as late as March 31st (weather permitting) stay tuned and we will update soon.

Please ride right, use your hand signals, stop at stop signs and stay on the marked trails. RIDING OFF OF THE MARKED TRAILS PUT OUR SPORT IN JEAPARDY OF TRAIL CLOSURES. Please remember that Snowmobiling is a privilege, not a right. Thank you for your continued support!

Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – March 10, 2022

Reporter:Phillips/Park Falls Chambers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: good in forested areas, thin/bare on open areas

Date of Report: March 10, 2022

Area Report:

3-10-22 Driftsplitters (Catawba/Kennan Area) will have all our trails groomed today. The trails are flat and hard in good shape. Where there were logging operations trails are poor. With the warm weather coming next week we expect this will be the last run for our groomers. Thanks for the great trails this year.

Fifield Sno-Drovers 3/9/22- The trails in the Fifield/Pike Lake area are smooth and hard but getting quite icy. The heavily traveled trails may have a bare spot here and there but are in very good shape. There is little to no powder on the trails so if your machine has a problem with overheating beware. Pick routes with less traffic and no road routes as the roads are very icy and bare.

Northwoods Hi-Riders 3/8/22-Despite the warmer weather and some moisture on Mar 5, the trails around the Solberg Lake area are in Very Good condition, with the exception of the logging areas and highly traveled open areas near town. The base is still good and frozen, but that may change if we get thawing and a lot of sun. Grooming in our area has been temporarily suspended until we still what the weather will bring today and tomorrow, 3/8-9. Bottom line there is still some good riding out there, especially in the wooded areas. Stay Safe, and Stay On The Trail.

Prentice Bushbenders Trail Report 03/09/2022- The trails held up pretty well over the rainy warm weather last weekend. They are in fair to good condition but icy with late season riding conditions. The trails in the woods are still good but open areas are thin and roads are bare. The groomer is still going out through Friday but with temps forecasted to be in the mid to upper 40s next week grooming will be determined on a day to day basis. We will also keep you posted on when the trials will close in Price county. Get out and ride while you can. Be safe and have fun.
