Suggest buying a Sno-Eagles trail map to help with location of trails. Plus download the GTS trails app It is available at the App Store.
Great to have a ton of SNOW on the trails. Frozen base is 2-3 inches. With plenty of SNOW on top. Nightly grooming will keep them smooth even with all the traffic. GOOD to VERY GOOD
If you are riding today or over the next week be prepared with extra warm clothes. Temps will be 0-1 degree for highs during the day & double digits below zero every night for the next week. Here are some cold weather riding tips:
Thinking the new snow should stop off trail riding. Please stay on the trails to keep the trails open.
Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

Snowmobile Information:
Kawabungadoodlydoo – there is snow in them hills. I just got done with a four hour watch in the groomer, and I am happy to report trail 17 from H to Woodruff is now pristine. After weeks of quarry operations, there are no stones protruding, and I had plenty of snow to play with. Not a lot of sled traffic for a Friday. It seems to be fairly hard, and at 12:45 AM, it is now 1 degree and supposed to stay cold for awhile. Even though I will have to dress up like Randy in A Christmas Story, I need to break in my new slides I wrestled on today, and I will risk 1030 below to ride tomorrow. I will complete a frozen tundra report upon completion of said mission.

Date of Report: February 5, 2021
Area Report:
We finally got the much needed snow we’ve been waiting so long for! Yesterday brought us 10″+. Our groomers will be out nightly. It’s probably going to take a few passes to get the base packed solid. The forecast is calling for daytime highs near zero or below for the next week, so that’s going to help firm things up.
If you are out and about tomorrow (Sat., Feb.6), be sure stop by Murmuring Waters and warm up with some delicious chili. The Barnstormers are having their annual Chili Dump Fundraiser from 2:00 – 5:00. Good food and a few raffle baskets!
Thank you for your patience and support. Ride Right and Stay Safe!

Trail 17-18 in good condition. Trail 31 is good south of trail 18 intersection. Trail 31 south is plowed for logging south of 43 road. Let’s hope for some new snow.
Drummond SnoJacks: The Drummond area received 2” of new snow last Sunday but only a thin base remains. New snow forecast Wednesday night into Thursday and colder temperatures will improve conditions. All trails will be groomed again before the weekend. Overall conditions are good to fair depending on use.

Washburn Valhallers: Trails in the Valhalla area continue to be in fair to good condition. Active logging on Trail 1 and Trail 31. Wasburn area trails were groomed Monday-Wednesday (2/1-2/3). Trails remain in good shape with the exception of Trail #13 between Washburn and Ashland which is rideable but thin.

Area Report:
It’s a Winter Wonderland!! Rhinelander area received 8″ of fresh snow on Thursday. Hodag Sno-Trails has been out steady getting the trails ready for the weekend. Drivers have said the trails have improved drastically, moving the rating to “good”. Please be aware, we try to do all of our grooming at night, but there are instances that we have activity in daylight. Keep a watchful eye out for groomers on the trail. If you meet a groomer, please pull over and let them by.
We are continuing to groom on our regular schedule. All lakes are marked and ready for traffic. It is always beneficial to ride near the lake markers for the best ride. We haven’t heard anything regarding slush on the lakes, but it could appear with the heavier snow cover.
As always, please stay on the marked trails. It may sound like a broken record, but it is sooooo important for the life of our trail system that all riders respect the rights of our landowners (over 150 just on Hodag Sno-Trails system).
Stay safe, and ride like the wind. Bundle up, it will be a cold weekend and following week.
