Good morning. Just got in from grooming and trails are in great shape. We used the tucker tonight and were able to plow some snow into the swamps on trail 12 heading to Dublin’s on the high line and were able to groom across when we were done so should be good traveling as long as we don’t get more rain .

Trail Report – : Phelps, Wisconsin – January 4, 2020

Reporter:Phelps Snowmobile Club

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Over 12 ” on the trail and 2 plus feet in the woods

Date of Report: January 4, 2020

Area Report:

Grooming is under way tonight. Most trails are in great condition. Trail 6 east of Phelps is detoured due to water and soft conditions between Boot Lake road and Shooting Range road. Please follow the marked detour route. Once these areas freeze up, we will be back on the normal trail and hopefully be grooming through that and other wetland areas. Some cooler weather and a little more snow are in the forecast. Enjoy your time here in Phelps and ride safe.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – January 4, 2020

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: plenty of trail base

Date of Report: January 4, 2020

Area Report:

The trails are slowly getting better. The club has spent countless hours brushing and grooming (where possible) since the recent snow. The club is still working on getting the groomer that got stuck in a swamp back up and running. The other two groomers are out on extended runs to get as much groomed as possible. We have approximately 65% of the trails groomed. There have been daily efforts to fill in the few remaining wet areas. All of the wet areas can be avoided with sleds, but groomer travel is still risky in some areas.

Most of the lakes are not marked yet. Hopefully, this condition can changed in the near future. Any unmarked lake should be considered unsafe.

There is also some low hanging branches from the recent snowfall.

Have some patience and the trails will be top notch in time. The trails east and south of town are all groomed and are in good condition.

It was a busy morning on the Frosty Club trails and most everyone in for breakfast said the local trail were in good shape. Snow tomorrow I hope so maybe we can get some colder temps and be done with these wet areas soon. The snow is clinging to the trees making it a true winter wonderland.

Trail Report – : Minocqua, Wisconsin – January 4, 2020

Reporter:minocqua

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 12-18

Date of Report: January 4, 2020

Area Report:

Reminder!
The Lakes are not Cruiser Trails and are marked by private business owners. You are doing so at your own risk. The only marked lake we know of is Big Arbor Vitae.
Cross Country Cruisers Trail Report 01/03/2020

Grooming has been going on early morning and nightly.

We are trying our hardest to keep the moguls cut. It seems like a never ending battle.

There are bare spots on Pope’s Run.

The logging operations continue and the map we posted earlier with closures east of Hwy 51 still are in place. Trail 3/6 at 17 are closed and you cannot ride 6 to Sayner without taking a longer route. Trail 17 east of Hwy 51 up until trail 3/6 are shared with loggers. Watch out for trucks.
The Bearskin Trail has a detour south of Minocqua with signs out. Pay attention and follow the detours!

The only marked lake in our area is Big Arbor Vitae, marked by Slo’s Pub, not the Cruisers.

I do not know the conditions out on the ice. Please stay as close to the markers if you do go out there.

STAY ON MARKED TRAILS!

PLEASE turn off your high-beams when approaching a groomer, it is blinding the operators. Have fun and ride right, safe and smart!

The map shows the closed areas of Cruiser Trails due to logging.

Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – January 4, 2020

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 6-10

Date of Report: January 4, 2020

Area Report:

All Washburn County Snowmobile Trails are open at this time. Trail conditions are fair with a 6 to 12 inch compacted snow base. It has been a difficult year for snowmobile trail maintenance; but our local clubs are doing the best they can to get the trails in good riding conditions. Significant warm temperatures and rain over the past weekend has been followed by 3 to 7 inches of new snow received on December 30th.

Caution is advised throughout the trail system. Lake ice is still not safe at this time, including Long Lake and the Spider Lake Chain. Swamps and wet areas on the trail system are likely to have standing water in places. Some wet areas will not have been groomed with heavy equipment yet. Also, please be aware that constant trail grooming will be occurring throughout the week. Many trails will not be freshly groomed on January 1st.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 3, 2020

Area Report:

Update: Gate for Callahan is open and lake is staked, some stakes have fallen over from the warmth but gate is open and lake is staked.

Hello Riders!!

Quick unofficial update but just to keep you in the loops volunteer crews are out checking Round Lake and the Flowage right now! Sounds as though most of the flowage is being staked today and they have hopes with round but marshes and swamps are the hardest to freeze so they want to ensure they are safe. We will update as soon as those crews make it safely back.

Grooming has been done in the Seeley Hills and towards Nelson, 3/5 to Moose Lake and the trails in the Chequamegon between Hwy 77 and Moose Lake, 3/5 to Lost Land and trails along hwy 77 east of Hayward have all been groomed.

Thank you to all of those volunteers out staking and working on trails! Many are business owners and they are finding the time to sneak away from their businesses that all provide services to us riders to also do trail work! They are pulling double duties and are rock stars! Stay safe crews!

Keep checking back as we will continue to update!
