The Benefit Breakfast at Sunrise Lodge was a big success—Thank you for supporting the Frosty Club. Now we turn our attention to getting the trails open. The trails are brushed, signed, and inspected so we are now waiting on Cold and Snow. We have about 6 inches on the ground so we don’t need a ton to get open. The forecast looks promising.

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Couple of inches at best

Date of Report: December 8, 2022

Area Report:

December 8, 2022 – 7:15am – 1 degree

First report of the 2022-2023. Trails in all of Vilas County are still CLOSED.

Morning & it’s good to be back,

Trails in Eagle River & all of Vilas County remain CLOSED. We need more snow in the south half of the County plus more COLD weather to freeze up the trails. So before you start Doin’ The Snow Dance need you to THINK COLD!

Last week the Parks & Rec Supervisor began trail inspections. There are 11 clubs in Vilas so it takes some time. Should be completed by the end of this weekend or early next week. Then it’s a waiting game. Northern parts of the County have more SNOW than in the Southern part. As in pass season it’s a waiting game. Rep’s from each of the Clubs will get together & vote as to the opening date. Then the Parks & Rec Supervisor would put out a PSA. Stay tuned.

See Ya on the Trails real soon!

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – December 7, 2022

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 1″ base

Date of Report: December 7, 2022

Area Report:

It’s been a very slow start here in the Keweenaw. We have a little over an inch of snow and light snow today. Not much of an accumulation is expected but I’ll keep a close eye on it through out the day. The further west you go the better the conditions get with the Gogebic area having around two foot in places. Unfortunately I’m not seeing any big storms in the next 10 days but this is the U.P. and things can change in at any time. Keep in mind the Portage Lift Bridge is still up and generally does get lowered until December 15th or later so crossing over is not possible at this time. If you do come up we have a lot of standing water that needs to freeze up so always ride with caution.

Snow Cover: Moderate

Date of Report: December 6, 2022

Area Report:

December 6, 2022

Groomers have been out getting work done on the trails and have accomplished a great deal. Cold temps have helped to freeze the ground and 1-3 is forecasted for tomorrow and for several days next week so we are looking good. Groomers are looking to hook up the drag and looking to do first groomer run tonight – probably on 8 E.

13 South – has been signed and brushed.
13N: all gates are open and the trail has been reported to be in great shape.
Groomers are still working on the Trail 1 South re-route.
8 west needs some additional cold in order to freeze, needs to firm up, and needs more snow in order to pack it in and let it freeze.
Trail 102 has been opened – it is passable – but very early conditions.
1 North has been packed.

We know that everyone is anxious to get out and ride and please just remember that we have early season conditions but all the right things are being done to get the trails in great shape! Much thanks to our groomers for all their perseverance and hard work!

Trail Report – : Lake Gogebic | Bergland, Michigan – December 1, 2022

Reporter:AJ’s Walleye Lodge

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: Moderate

Date of Report: December 1, 2022

Area Report:

It’s December 1^st – the official opening of snowmobile trails in the Lake Gogebic area. Over the last 2 days the Lake Gogebic area has received about 20” of snow, but we need some cold temperatures in order to set a good base. We are extremely fortunate as Groomers are able to get out on the trails this early in the season – many times Groomers can’t even get out on the trails till mid December.

That said – there is still a lot of work that needs to be done and we are asking that everyone please be patient and let groomers get in and get these trails in good shape before we start to experiencing traffic on them.

Here’s the current conditions:

8E has been completely signed and today it was a matter of clearing all the hangovers left from the last 2 days of heavy snowfall.
Groomers went in 13 South at the Root Cellar and then headed south until it got dark and then headed back.
13N – not all gates are open, but you can still get through. Hope to get them open in the next day or so.
Trail 1 South on the West side of Lake Gogebic needs to be re-routed; groomers will get in there on Saturday and more than likely the 1 South will revert to the previous trail that we had a few years back.
8 west needs to freeze, needs to firm up, and needs more snow in order to pack it in and let it freeze.
Trail 102 is currently closed; as there is a beaver dam that has flooded out a bridge about 13 miles north of Bergland.
1 North is getting packed tonight.

We know that everyone is anxious to get out and ride and we just ask that you let our Groomers get the trails in good shape which will make for much better trails throughout the season and help to extend the length of the season. We will update you again at the beginning of next week. Thanks very much and we do look forward to seeing everyone very soon!
