Ashland County Snowmobile Report December 30, 2019
Ashland County trails are reported poor condition and not being groomed at this time. Be cautious in the swampy areas for standing water. Please bear with us and STAY ON THE TRAILS. Be respectful of the farmers land! Stay on trail, as much of the Ashland County snowmobile trail system uses private property and could be lost if the property owners experiences issues. The most common complaints are snowmobiles not staying on trails or going off into fields that are not part of the trail, and loud noise from non-stock muffler systems. Respect the trail system so that it remains open. The Tri-county corridor is open

The Fifield Sno Drovers 12/22/2019
We had to close trail 106 (corridor 19) to Iron County on Saturday, 12/21. While the Price County trails are groomed and in great shape, the trail after it crosses to Iron county travels through a swamp that is not frozen enough for them to groom. We had a rider sink in the mud and water, needing help for recovery. Alternative routes should be used.

Prentice Bushbenders Trail Report 12/19/2019
The trails are open but are in rough early season condition. We have only been out with our compactor and have not been able to pan or groom any trails yet due to numerous wet spots. We have been out breaking these spots up trying to get them to freeze down and are gaining on them so hopefully we will be starting grooming operations around Christmas. If you ride please use caution. Merry Christmas from the Prentice Bushbenders.
Park Falls Sno Gypsies 12/18/2019
Trails around Park Falls are slowly getting groomed. Several of the swamp areas are still partially open. Please when riding in the ungroomed areas of the swamps ride wide to pack the trails.
Price County has 500 miles of trail, maintained by 9 volunteer clubs. You’ll find beautiful scenery and wildlife along the trail system to enhance your experience.

December 30th….Trails in the Phillips area are in poor condition due to the warm weather and rain over the weekend. Trails are open, but you ride at your own risk.

Area Report:
Trail report for December 30, 2019 – Poor to fair. The bad news is that the temps the last couple of days were in the 30’s with rain and lots of traffic degrading our trails rapidly. The good news is that it is snowing right now we are expected to get several inches of snow through today with cooler temps. We will just have to wait to see how much snow we receive. 6” to 9” is expected. Along with cooler temps our groomers will be out grooming to make a better ride for you starting tonight. Be aware that groomers can be out grooming at any time of the day or night grooming. Take all directions from the groomer. Please pray for more snow and subzero temps. Please use extreme caution in all areas! Stay on marked trails! I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Western U P Snowmobile Trail Report— 12/30/19
It looks like winter is back on track. After a weekend of warmer temps and rain our temps are dropping and we have a winter storm warning for today. Heavy snow is expected with accumulations of 8 to 16 inches of wet, heavy snow. We will keep you updated with the groomers report as soon as they are able to get one out.

Base Snowfall: 28″
Reported On: December 28th, 2019 @ 11:45am
Overall Story:
Saturday 12/28 12:00 pm CST: Our entire system of OPEN trails was groomed last night, except for 160. The trails have tons of snow on them and are flat and fast. West of Bessemer is getting Sugary, we didn’t hit it until 7am this morning and it needs some fresh moisture, which is coming! There are important warnings and notices to be aware of below.
WARNINGS AND NOTICES: We continue to see a spike in off trail riding issues. We had riders hit fences, take out fence posts and damage corporate property infrastructure a LONG ways away from trails. We are begging riders to ride off trail legally as there are 1-million acres of public land east of Wakefield to off trail ride on – please only ride legal areas!
Trail 2 from Hurley to Ramsay US-2 Crossing:
Overall rating: GOOD
Last groomed 12/28/19. Please do not ride on side walks near Holiday and try to keep noise down in town.
Trail 2 from Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield:
Overall rating: GOOD
Last groomed 12/28/19. The entire stretch is in excellent condition! Featuring a brand new section to enjoy this season, the club eliminated Prospect road route and moved the trail completely into the woods eliminating 1.5 miles of road route. PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL AND RESPECT THESE LANDOWNERS!
Trail 2 from Wakefield to Marenisco:
Overall Rating: Very Good
Last groomed 12/28/19. There is logging 4 miles east of Wakefield. Please yield to logging traffic, they are working and you are playing!
Trail 8 from Wakefield to Tula Crossing:
Overall Rating: Very Good
Last groomed 12/28/19. Tremendous snow depth on this trail. It is an unplowed county road and is a treat to ride!
Trail 160 from Walmart to Montreal River (WI):
Overall Rating: OPEN – FAIR
The trail was opened Saturday 12/21 and groomed Tuesday 12/24/19. STAY ON THE TRAIL!!!!!! This is our most scenic trail and is a treat to ride! There are several scenic vistas on the trail such as Bald Mountain “NORTH” lookout viewing Madeline Island/ mouth of the Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior, the Bald Mountain “SOUTH” lookout viewing Gogebic Range (Powderhorn, Copper Peak), the Montreal River Gorge look out and finally the amazing Superior Falls Waterfall Complex. Stay on the trail in the farm fields. Over 25 landowners are involved to make this trail a reality, please respect them and ride responsibly.
11S (Wakefield, MI to Winchester, WI):
Overall Rating: CLOSED
CLOSED FOR THE SEASON DUE TO LOGGING OPERATIONS THAT THE CLUB WAS UNABLE TO FIND A REROUTE AROUND.
11N (Wakefield, MI to South boundary Rd/White Pine): Closed indefinitely. Seeking local community support with ideas on how to reopen it. 200 yards of private property closed this 25 mile trail.
Gogebic Area Grooming 12/26/19
Lake Gogebic Area is experiencing a bit of a warm-up after our Christmas holiday – but looks like 12/26 is the worst and temps drop back below freezing on Friday and there’s a big storm coming in on Saturday. We’ve received so much snow that a little melt is ok – as it will help to compress some of the snow on the trails as well as the lake and with colder temps on the horizon – that will help firm wet spots and help ice conditions. Gogebic Area Groomers report good overall conditions and were out over Christmas filling in some of the wet problem areas on our trails and will be out nightly when temps are below 30 degrees. There are some areas where water it showing – but the cold temps will help out.
Trail 1N: Good to excellent. White Pine to Silver City is fair with a couple wet spots appearing with the warm temps. There is a bridge out in Silver City, but you can carefully navigate around. Lake of the clouds is excellent and groomed last night.
Trail 1S: crews were out brushing and signing and got the trail opened up. They made snow bridges – just use caution with our warm temps today.
Trail 8 West: Groomers were out filling in wet spots over Christmas – use caution.
Trail 8 East: Gets thin past Ewen. There are 2 logging areas on Trail 3 North between trail 2 and 8. (near Bond Falls Area)
Trails 13 North: good condition.
Trails 13 South All trails on South end are reporting good.
Trail 102 (South Boundary Road) is in excellent shape and groomed last night. There is a new reroute about 4 miles before trail 11. The trail is marked well and the reroute was a very nice turn out. (Temporary Re-Route)
Trail 100: Logging is happening between Stagecoach Rd and the Slate River (very end of Lake Gogebic) Marshall Creek Bridge has been fixed so you can get to Marenisco from trail 100. (Permanent for 2019-2020 season)
Please stay on the trails, respect private property, do not drink and drive, and above all else, drive safely. Be mindful that there are a lot of families and kids on the trails this week. The signs on the trails are there for rider’s safety so please DO NOT remove or destroy them.
