Trail Report – : Rice Lake & Barron County, Wisconsin – January 24, 2022

Reporter:Jody

Trail Conditions: Closed

More than 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails lace Barron County, including the popular Tuscobia State Trail with 76 miles heading east from Rice Lake to Park Falls; the Wild Rivers Trail heading north from Rice Lake’s city limits leads 97 miles to Superior.

Barron County snowmobile and ATV trails remain closed. We’ve received approximately 8 inches of light snow, however it hasn’t provided a reasonable base to create sustainable snowmobile trails. Hopefully additional snow forecast for the coming days will allow us to open the trails for the season.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – January 24, 2022

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: good – fresh fluff received Sunday night

Date of Report: January 24, 2022

Area Report:

Trails are in good to very good condition. We continue to see lower sled traffic in the area. That has allowed the groomer operators to keep up on the trail conditions without robbing from the hard base. Without significant new snows, some of the “holes” can’t be filled, but overall the trails are very good.

We are seeing some signs of icy corners as they get burnt out. Some of the hills and exposed trails are getting thin. The fresh powder events over the last few days was a nice way to freshen them up.

Our lake crossings look good so far as no significant slush areas identified.

There is one trail closure on the Hodag Sno-Trails system: Trail H4 from Boom Lake to the intersection just north of River Rd. This is basically the “land” route to not running Boom Lake. The trail is closed at this point. We have been just notified that this is a permanent closure. Running the lake is the reroute. The club is continuing to look for another “land route” but it takes time and money (unfunded – club trail).

Get out and ride, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Keep an eye out for grooming activity at anytime. We continue to double-groom on days we need to for coverage of one of our groomers. The guys have been keeping up during this spell with a groomer down. I believe the trail conditions have not suffered at all during this time.

Area Report:

UPDATE 1/23/2022

Trail update on trail 49! We successfully made it over the beaver pond for the first time this season! We picked up about 6″ more inches of new snow yesterday. All have been groomed late last night or will be today. The only exception is the courtesy trail between Kewadin Casino and The Antlers restaurant. Please scroll down below for each trail.

—We’ve had a busy year, brushing, signing and performing necessary repairs on our 100 mile trail system and our equipment. Please see our Facebook page for pictures and updates on what our dedicated volunteers have accomplished. Thank you all for riding our trail system and supporting the businesses that support the Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association!—

-There is now a plowed parking area at the beginning of trail #8 under the International Bridge, which has an all season porta John. Make sure you lock your vehicles and trailers.

-We now have a marked trail going to Chippewa Motors. It starts once you come out of the woods east of M-129 off #449. It comes into their parking lot from behind if you need parts or service.

-City curfew is from 1 am – 6 am. Remember most City streets are open to traffic 20 mph, stop at all intersections, and ride on the right hand side of street not on side walks. Watch for closed streets that are posted, mainly around the hospital, university, and state trunk lines.

-When the trail is running along roads make sure you go with the flow of traffic on the right side of the road.

-Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less then a inch on the trail.

-If you are staying in the Sault please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!!!!!!
