Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – December 28, 2021

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: minimal cover, hopefully more on the way

Date of Report: December 28, 2021

Area Report:

Trails in Oneida County are open as of Tuesday, December 28th @ 8:00 am.

All trails in the Oneida County Funded Snowmobile Trail System (as administered by the
Oneida County Forestry, Land, & Recreation Department) will officially open for the
winter season at 8:00 am on Tuesday, December 28, 2021.
All lake and river trails in Oneida County are considered unsafe and should not be
utilized until they have been clearly marked by a local snowmobile club. As always, the
Oneida County Forestry, Land, & Recreation Department recommends riders stay on
clearly marked trails. Always exercise caution when riding a snowmobile. The trails are
in rough, early season condition.

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 club is trying to work with the landowner regarding the issue. The trail is closed at this point.

For Hodag Sno-Trails system, all of the land trails have been cleared, inspected and packed with the machines. They will be packed again with the machines over the next few days. We are trying to develop a good base and packing the swamps prior to using the drags. Tentative schedule for full on grooming with the drags will be this weekend. The machines will be out packing regularly prior to that.

The lakes are not marked and should be traveled at own risk at this point. Lakes will be reviewed for marking starting this weekend.

This is early season riding, please be patient. As of Sunday night the fields were bare. There isn’t much of anything to work with at this point. We are packing them as flat as possible and working toward the long term good base. There are just a few wet spots, but shouldn’t cause a serious issue for riders.

As always, let’s respect our landowners and keep on the trails (between the blazers).

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – December 28, 2021

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Getting better

Date of Report: December 28, 2021

Area Report:

Sunday night brough us around 5″ of new snow, which was much needed for the opening day. Conditions are still early season as our base had previously melted down from the week prior. Snow cover is getting better, but please be aware that corners are going to be icy under the thin layer of snow. Also, don’t be surprised to hear the gravel under your skis.

The Barnstormers are in full groom mode, so we’ll be out nightly. With heavy traffic and minimal snow cover, it doesn’t take long for the conditions to worsen. Early morning is certainly the time to find the best riding conditions.

We are expecting more snow tonight, but the forecast has been downgraded to 1-3″. Not much, but it all helps.

Stay safe out there!!

We need snow dances from everyone!!

Please support all of the clubs by participating in their fundraisers! Here’s a list of what’s coming up for the Barnstormers. You can also get more info at http://www.saynerbarnstormers.com.
