Area Report:
We groomed last night with the fresh snow we got yesterday and into Saturday. It is dry and fluffy. Trails I hit smoothed out, but when I returned and a group of 6 sleds or more went on what I groomed, it was moguls again. Between the amount of sleds out, dry snow, and temps not cold enough to freeze the trail in before they got there, not much we could do. We will be back at it later tonight.
Im going to say the trails are fair due to the fluffy snow, I’m sure some are moguls already this morning.
News and Reports:
Trail 12 from the RR grade TIN 732 to County K TIN 731 has ruts from ATVs. There isn’t enough snow to fill the ruts, but it is getting better. We put signs at each end of the trail for Caution Next 1 mile and Rough Trail. Use caution when traveling this area.
The Cemetery Trail from TIN 724 to TIN 725, and south to TIN 727 at Church Rd is thin for snow cover. You will find a few bare spots, There is a hill between TIN 725 and TIN 726 at Lindberg Rd that was bare from sleds going up it. The swamp area did freeze up, so it is good to go.

Snowmobile Information:
Well, shave my possum, it’s Saturday. (I heard that on the Tom Petty channel yesterday) OK, so we had about 4″ of snow last night, Friday. We have a group up for the weekend, and Jeff and Kim had to head down the grade through the Powell Marsh yesterday, and they said it was not as rough as it has been. Watch 17, the corners in the Raven, and the open areas on “F” trail. Also trail 1 between trail 51 and East Boundary had icey corners last night. East Boundary and Stearns Lake Rd were pretty good last night. This snow has some sustenance to it, so I am hoping it sticks and today’s conditions improve as we stand to have a boatload of traffic. I will report after the weekend, and whether or not conditions warrant groomer Mike and I going out Sunday. Hornshoe trails were groomed last night, and we will be out again tonight. A shout out to Lulich Equipment in Mason for giving us a great lease rate on a tractor to keep a smile on the trails. Today, Saturday, team Hornshoe is womping up some vittles on the trail on the corner of trail 17, and Mattke Rd. Brats, burgers, weenies, and some amazing chili. Stop out and see some of the people that keep our club running. Be safe and have fun! Mark

4+- inches of SNOW late yesterday into this morning. Still light SNOW at 6:45am that should end in a few minutes. SNOW is fluffier then I would have liked. Was hoping for some wet packy SNOW. But hey will take it. Temps will drop tonight. From today through next Wednesday night daytime highs in mid teens or lower. Below zero over night.
GTS Groomer app shows the following trails groomed last night ALL of Trail 10E was to the Three Lakes/Alvin/Nelma Trails. Which includes through Eagle River & down the Grade to the turn to head East. Here are the spurs included:
NOTE: Trail 10E out of Eagle River becomes a one way from the ERRA SPORTS ARENA all the way to Mikes Gas Station. It runs alone Hwy 70E. The south side of the trail is ONE WAY going EAST only. The north side of the trail is ONE WAY going WEST (back to Eagle River). Intersections are clearly marked with ONE WAY trail signs & DO NOT ENTER signs. Very dangerous to go the wrong way.
Catfish Lake & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Stay by the barrels as there is no guarantee the rest of the lakes are safe. They have icy spots so please slow down. Lots of lakes have ice heaves so be safe & stay by the barrels wherever you ride.
Trails will be SNOW cover this morning with hard icy base. It is going to be slippery not only in the corners but everywhere. Please Slow Down & Stay on Your Side.
Time to Ride!!!! See ya on the trails!

Right now trails are either hard & icy with dry snow. Hard & icy with spots of snirt. Especially on the north of trails that run along roads or through wide open areas. Can tell you some pretty good riding in woods, under cover. Bit of Adventure Sledding getting there. p.s. Road routes are hard ice in spaces & bare in others.

Area Report:
The groomers have been out in full force this week, getting the trails smoothed out. For the most part, all trails have been groomed within the last day or two with all remaining by tomorrow so everything will be ready for the weekend.
Groomers report that the trails are pretty good, there are some spots better than others. There will be some areas that have rocks poking through so just a heads up. If you do see any big rocks or branches that have been pulled up from the groomer and there is a safe place to stop and toss them off the trail, the extra help is always appreciated.
There is more snow in the forecast Friday that would freshen things up nicely for the weekend.
So, get out and ride! Be safe, obey the laws and have fun!!
***PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL AS THERE ARE MANY HEAVES AND MORE CAN FORM AT ANYTIME! DRIVE WITH CAUTION AND AT SAFE SPEEDS. WE HAVE NOTED EXISTING HEAVES WE KNOW ABOUT BUT THIS WARNING APPLIES FOR ALL LAKES. CRUCIAL FOR YOUR SAFETY!!
Just to recap the heaves reported:
⚠️Nelson Lake – Hard Rock Cr to main Lake. Is not marked, club will monitor it this week.
⚠️Round Lake – across from Busse to Linden boat launch. Does run across the trail and there are caution signs at the heave near the marked trail area.
⚠️Long Lake – Little Bear to Boy Scout land. Is marked
⚠️ Chippewa Flowage – Sisko’s Pine Point Resort by landing. They have stakes warning ⚠️ Second heave reported going south in narrows towards Cranberry Lake on east side of Flowage. Not staked, will check it this week
⚠️Grindstone – in front of Williams Bay. Not staked
⚠️Lake Namakagon- between Garden Lake & Namakagon, just off of Duck Point
⚠️Lac Courte Oreilles- across the whole lake from the west side of Chicago Bay to the Whitefish Creek/Golden Shores area. Some were reported to be as tall as 4.5 feet.

Snowmobile Information:
Not a lot of changes in our report. Considerable traffic but the cold is holding us. Chance of snow tomorrow, Friday, into Saturday. Our lake routes are all very good. Our main grade trail 17, is thin from Mattke Rd, to Frying pan lane, then thin up in the Powell Marsh. Those areas can be bypassed by riding Fence Lake to the south, then pick up 17 from Frying Pan Lane and head north from there. You can also run Fence to the boat launch, then take our club trail to Moss Lake, then run the lakes north from there. Powell Marsh can be bypassed by utilizing trail 23, River Rd, from Flambeau Lake. Raven Lake area is very good with a couple of icey corners. A caution flag goes out in this area if you go off the groomed trail, there is a substantial bank on the edges now. There are also rocks left over from the construction under the snow. Trail 5 into the casino is excellent. Trail 1 down from 51 to East Boundary is good with some icey corners. Trail 1 roads, Stearns Lake, and East Boundary, are better with the dusting we had, and people knocking the banks back down. With Oneida County open, F trail is getting heavier traffic, better in the woods, worn on some corners, and thinner out in the open. Our whole trail system has an ice base that is holding well where the sun can’t get at it. We have a lot of nice riding, as long as you dodge the problem areas utilizing our lake trails, which, by the amount of traffic on them, people are doing. Trails have been busy all week, and should have a lot of use this presidents day weekend.Stay warm and be safe. Mark
