Trail Report – : Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – February 24, 2021

Reporter:Manitowish Waters Chamber

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 15″

Date of Report: February 24, 2021

Area Report:

The MW Sno Skeeters trails are in fair to good condition. Exposed areas in towns and road crossings took a hit from the sun today, and the temps were in the 40s. It’s that time of year when the sun packs a punch. However, the majority of the rest of the week looks promising: mostly cloudy, not as warm, and a chance of snow showers Wed and Thur.

There is still good riding to be found, especially in wooded areas. We are in that “Spring riding mode” – don’t set high expectations for high mile rides when the sun is out.

Remember to Ride Right, use your hand signals, stay on marked trails, and STOP at stop signs. Snowmobile vs car never ends well. Thank you for your continued support of our club as well as all snowmobile clubs!

Remember: “United we trail, divided we fail.”

GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours

Trail Groomers were out again last night heading north & northwest. Trails GROOMED are:

10/13 heading north from the Groomer Barn located on Hwy 45N by the Holiday North Gas Station all the way to the Conover trail connect
Turning onto 10/13 & grooming over the Wisconsin River snowmobile bridge
On the west side of the 10 heads west & 13 heads north – both ALL groomed
10 & 7 join & 7 was also groomed to the Sayner/St. Germain trails

Best way to learn the trails is to buy a Sno-Eagles trail map. It also has the entire Vilas county trails on the backside. Plus download the GTS trails app It is available at the App Store.

It looks like we are heading into the “Adventure Sledding” part of the season. 10E is fine heading east on the south side of the road. On the north side heading back into to town has burn throughs. Same with open areas on 70W. More ice in the corners with some having heavy snirt.

Overnight SNOW did not produce totals as promised. Maybe 2 inches+ when it stops SNOWING this around 8am. Night time temps will drop starting tonight. Overnight temps starting tonight through the at least the next week will be in the teens to single digits. This will hold the trails. Need ya to THINK COLD for during the day. Next SNOW is Sunday. Stay tuned.

Please stay on the trails to keep them trails open. Lots of off trail riding is causing a lot of problems. Done preaching.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Drifting on Catfish. Watch for ice fishing holes on both lakes. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

Ride it while we got it. SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 23, 2021

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Fair to “yikes”

Date of Report: February 23, 2021

Snowmobile Information:

I apologize for a delay in my report. Last week Tuesday and Wednesday, I ran with Craig and Jill in Eagle River, as they had points to burn on a time share, good conditions. Then I was forced to abandon my post, and retreat south due to my position being overrun by women with cookbooks and at least (4) garbage bags of wine. I was allowed back into the county yesterday, and had to work on my furnace. Today I went on drive about. Trail 15, the grade, suspect. It’s brown. Last week we waited until 10:00 for it to warm up to zero, and today I saw a kid running on Stearns Lake road bare chested at 42 degrees. Stearns Lake is good on the south end, but up toward boundary trail it gets bald. Boundary Trail is thin. The trail along F has snow in the ditch, but unless you and your carbides are not friends, avoid the asphalt. I did what every reporter does, and went public. I met three guys at Black Bear, that said the same thing – good snow in woods yet, but bare where the sun gets at the trail, and avoid the asphalt trails. We are due for snow tonight, so lets hope for something good! Wolf

Trail Report – : Walworth County, Wisconsin – February 23, 2021

Reporter:Ryan Strand

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 12-18″

Date of Report: February 23, 2021

Area Report:

Trails are CLOSED as of 6AM this morning. Today’s weather is going to hurt big time 45F and full sun in late February generally doesn’t fair well for wide open fields and a lot of road crossings. The next 5-6 days sees fairly warm weather as well with no new snow. Let’s hope this isn’t it for the year but right now it doesn’t look promising. Yes the trails look nice right now but please stay off they are closed! We need to protect our landowners property from any damage so we can continue to use their property well into the future. If things turn around in the coming weeks we will report back.

Thank you.
