Trail Report – : Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan – January 3, 2025

Reporter:SaultSteMarie

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 12″+

Date of Report: January 3, 2025

Area Report:

Remember, the Soo is sled friendly and most city streets are legal to ride!
City trails have some moguls, as expected, but they will groom up nicely with the new snow in town.
Trail #8 is pretty flat, considering it hasn’t been groomed since before the warm up. Lots of fresh snow, until about 5 Mile where it gets noticeably thinner.
Hopefully, the lake effect bands will be hitting west of us as forecasted today. 6-10” is expected, so we’ll see how it goes!

Trail Report – : Crivitz, Wisconsin – December 31, 2024

Reporter:ironsnowshoe

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Sorry…No Snow

Date of Report: December 31, 2024

Area Report:

Iron Snow Shoe ATV/UTV Trails are OPEN North of C in the woods right now and all town & county roads are OPEN YEAR ROUND.  Wood trails are CLOSED south of County Rd C

Iron Snow Shoe Snowmobile Trails are CLOSED.  Sorry….No snow right now.  The rain washed it all away.  Good News…It is supposed to get colder this week.  Pray for snow.  

All of the snowmobile trail is bushed and signed and ready for more snow.  The trail maintenance in the Homestead Lake Trail area off of County Road I is all complete and turned out great.  It was completely reshaped, large rocks removed, new gravel and graded.  

There is a small trail change from Sportman’s Cafe to Boat Landing 3 Road.

We will keep you up dates on the trail by Jungle Jim’s.

 

Trail Report – : Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin – December 30, 2024

Reporter:Phil

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Not enough

Date of Report: December 30, 2024

Area Report:

The Good News is we still have a good base and colder weather is on the way. Many lakes have solid ice and are being marked with barrels. The bad news is we lost most of our snow and we need more to head our way so we can FINALLY open the Frosty Club Trails!

 

THINK SNOW!!!!

Many Thanks to Melissa and The Alley Crew for putting on another super successful Snowmobile Safety course.

Well, that warm up and rain didn’t help our trails. The cold will return this week and is supposed to be here for awhile. Watching for snow storms to come in and the lake effect snow machine to turn on. Stay tuned.

Happy New Year everyone!!  Can you believe it, another year is on it’s way out and a “New One” is just about to make it’s arrival.  Let’s hope it brings us Lots & Lots of white fluffy snow with it. I’m sure many of you are “staring at your sleds & dreaming of crisp air & freshly groomed trails the same as we are here Up North!!  We know it’s coming and patience is a virtue… I think… right?  

We will continue to update the trail report as conditions improve.  Our clubs have several groomer operators ready to also hit the trails and start the grooming process once given the “Green light and White snow” to do so!!

Until then, we wish you all a “Happy and Safe New Year” and look forward to seeing you SOON!  🙂

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – December 28, 2024

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Critical not stable

Date of Report: December 28, 2024

Snowmobile Information:

It is 6:25 Saturday, 36 degrees and cloudy. Dense fog advisories posted for tomorrow morning. Not a lot to report except water and mushy. Our only consolation is that Hornshoe club had a flat spot to rebuild the front differential on the John Deere groomer. The starboard track is on, and we should wrap up the other track tomorrow and hopefully get back on line and be ready or the next cold front.Tomorrow and Monday will be in the upper 30’s, then 26 Tuesday, and mid teens headed to single digit lows later in the week. That should firm up the mush, and then look for some snowmakers. Mark
