Snowmobile Information:
Not a lot to report yet.It’s 19 degrees and has been single digits and below zero the last few days. Good for ice making and firming up the swamps. We have some base snow, but need more before we could open. Our main groomer went down yesterday. Keith, John, and Nick are working on it now. Something about splines in the front end. Ever watch Kelly’s Heros? ” I just drive ’em, I don’t know what makes ’em work.” Our club, as are many, is blessed with several guys that know how to wrench. The more we can do, the less we need to hire out. Volunteers make this sport happen. I spout out a lot about getting involved. Join a club, get involved. Whether you push a broom at the groomer barn, or attend AWSC meetings or conventions, a lot of people do a lot of work to make this sport what it is. KAOS, Next Gen Riders, MS Riders. Do some googling. Will keep an eye on the snow, and let you know. Mark

Area Report:
Happy Holidays!! Time for a weekly update. It’s been quite cold the past week… dipping down into the negative digits for a few days this past week. Snow cover remains at about 4-5 inches for our area. Trails are freezing up nicely with the cold temps and the snowfall we have received… makes for a great base and good riding once we receive a little more snow.
We will continue to update as we receive additional snow and trails improve. Until then, we all wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Iron County.

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers
Trail Conditions: Closed
Snow Cover: Minimal
Date of Report: December 13, 2024
Area Report:
The Barnstormers have been busy getting trails ready for opening. We’ve cleared trails of fallen trees & brush. We are scheduled for inspection by the DNR on December 17 (all clubs must have their trails inspected before they are allowed to open). We’ve been out with our roller packing the little bit of snow we have in order to help create a firmer base. Essentially, all we need is for the frost to get a bit deeper and then more snow!
As of today, there is still no set date that the trails will open. Remember, all 11 clubs in Vilas county must be ready as we all open at the same time. Some clubs have a fair amount of swampy areas that need to freeze before they can go through with their equipment. Thankfully, the Barnstormers don’t have swamps to deal with, but we still have to wait until ALL clubs are ready.
Then, we just need snow!! We’ll keep you all posted as things develop.

TGIF everyone and what a great weekend it’s looking to be! Temps sunk below zero yesterday which will help to freeze up wet spots on the trails as well as to make some good ice on the lake.
Trails 1n, 1s, 8e, 8w and all feeder trails to local businesses were covered this week. 8w still has some pretty good water holes opening up.
Conditions are improving daily and Gogebic Groomers have one machine running with a drag and the other without a drag fixing or working on problem areas. Trail’s aren’t perfect (yet) but are improving daily. Ride with caution and enjoy!
Don’t forget – Gogebic Area Grooming Christmas Trivia Fundraiser is December 21st at AJ’s!! Details may be found at www.ajslodgeandoven.com or on facebook!
Have a great weekend!
