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.

Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – December 28, 2021

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 9-10”

Date of Report: December 28, 2021

Area Report:

The day has finally come, as of December 28th, our trails are open. These are early season with some trails or sections of trails ungroomed due to wet areas in swamps. We received about 5-6” of snow recently with more in the forecast. If you encounter a wet spot, just keep your speed and ride through, it is safe to cross it. The lakes are considered unsafe if not marked.

Please note: we have one permanent closed trail. The lake trail that went from Big Stone Lake, across Bonkowski Rd to Laurel and Medicine lakes is closed. Please respect our landowners and do not try and take this trail. The landowner is building a house where our trail was. There was no feasible reroute. We want to thank the landowners for the years of access for that trail.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – December 27, 2021

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4-6″

Date of Report: December 27, 2021

Snowmobile Information:

I just got in from grooming onboard Hornshoe #1, and we are in business.Trail 17, the grade, has a 4″ compacted base from Woodruff to just south of the marsh. Sleds are picking stones the last couple of miles where our 17 ends and Mercer picks up. It is thin out in the open where there are no trees to hold snow on the trail. Trail 5 into the casino is good. We found the rut where the pickup dropped in last week on the outbound run, but on our return pass, no bump.This snowfall seemed to compact well, and right now at midnite it is nine degrees, so it should set up well for Tuesday. The sleds we met, and the ones that passed us, did not tear up the trail. I still caution using trail 1, Stearns Lake Road. Coming home, I see where sleds have carved into the bank nicely, but the cover on the road is thin. We need more snow. As always, I urge riders to join a club to see how we make this work, thank your volunteers that make this happen, hug your groomers because we are cute, and ride safe. Mark

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – December 28, 2021

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 3″-4″ Base

Date of Report: December 28, 2021

Area Report:

Trails are starting to shape up pretty good considering the warm spell we just had. We got another 2-3 inches of snow today and more on the way for most of this week. I spent Monday morning with the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club spreading snow on the Portage bridges lower level. It is now open to snowmobile traffic and will be groomed daily. Trail 3 up Brockway mtn is bare over half the trail so avoid that and come into Copper Harbor from the north on trail 134. Trails 124 and 133 are still round and need to freeze up a couple water holesyet. The only trail left is 122 and it should be ready to go in the next couple days. Ride safe, be careful in the corners, and remember it’s still early season riding.
