Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers
Trail Conditions: Closed
Snow Cover: Minimal
Date of Report: January 14, 2025
Area Report:
As everyone is aware, Vilas county snowmobile trails still remain closed due to lack of snow. We did receive 4″ over the weekend, but it was pretty dry & fluffy. The Barnstormers have been out panning this down to help with our base. The base is in pretty good shape, so the only thing we need is MORE SNOW!
FYI, it really matters what kind of snow we get. We need moisture! If we get 4″ of wet snow, it is far more helpful than 12″ of dry fluff. At this point, of course, we’ll take anything we can get.
Do your snow dances & whatever rituals work for you! Bring on the snow!!!

Area Report:
At the time of this posting, it’s 2:am, 8 below zero (January 14th) and another 10-hour mostly night shift for this operator. We have had groomers out all day, making our trails something we can be proud of, but it’s currently tough! As you can see, conditions vary dramatically across our area, and the ground is not frozen near Lake Superior. The snow cover is melting from underneath, losing much of the 5″ gained there yesterday. Please use caution on Thursday when our trails open and through the weekend. Traffic and temperatures will cause our trail conditions to change rapidly. We’re still trying round the clock to make things out of less-than-perfect conditions.

All snowmobile trails are closed. Trails will open on Thursday, January 16. at 7:00 am
