Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – March 22, 2023

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Dwindling fast

Date of Report: March 22, 2023

Area Report:

Riders this past week have boasted that the trails have been amazing, and the minimal amount of traffic has been a huge bonus!

All good things must eventually come to an end. With temps hovering in the upper 30s and low 40s all week, we’ll see some significant melting. You can expect road crossings and many of the road routes to be increasingly bare. But, if you are willing to push through those areas, you’ll still find some great riding out in the woods. This could be the final week, so get out there and enjoy!

Unless we get some major weather changes, the Barnstormers will be doing very little grooming from this point on. It tends to do more damage than good when temps get this warm. The hills will also be getting very icy.

If you do plan to ride, be sure to call ahead to any of your usual stops as many have already closed for their usual spring break.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – March 22, 2023

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Good base in the woods, thin in open areas

Date of Report: March 22, 2023

Area Report:

We are coming down the home stretch. This will be the last good weekend to ride. There is plenty of snow in the woods, and those trails will hold up through the weekend. We got a dusting of snow last night, but won’t do anything significant for the trails. This is “late season” conditions. The road routes are bare, there are dirt spots on the exposed trails, and icy corners. But, you can still ride and have a good experience – and it’s late March…..

I have the trails as “fair” currently do to bare road routes and thinning exposed trails. Exposed trails will lose snow quickly with sunny days and warm temps.

Barrels have been removed from most lakes. Please consider that ride at your own risk.

Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the sport this season. Thank a landowner and club member. If it weren’t for these key cogs in the wheel, we all would be riding the ditches.

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – March 20, 2023

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 12-18″

Date of Report: March 20, 2023

Area Report:

No grooming on Sunday night. I’m guessing the next time we will groom will be after we receive 1-3″ Tuesday into Wednesday. But, if the overnight temps are too high, we won’t. So far, it has been right around right around 30-32 degrees today with partial sunshine. So that evil March sun couldn’t do full damage.

Another groomer went out for a ride and reported good to very good trail conditions. Spots where the sun has been hitting and has ruined the base already are low on snow or bare. Some road routes are bare. But Twin Lake Rd from Twin Lake Pub to Monheim Rd is still snow covered. If you go north on Twin Lake Rd toward Lakota boat ramp of North Twin Lake, it has minimal snow on edges.

Trails in the woods are holding and the base is good. Just be aware that the trail conditions can change.

We seem to be in a cycle of getting snow, then a couple days of sunshine, then repeat.

Trails can remain open until March 31st.

News and Reports:

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Be careful in corners as there is an ice layer under the snow. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – March 20, 2023

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-15 inches

Date of Report: March 20, 2023

Area Report:

This will probably be my last trail condition report for the season… we will be heading south ourselves in another week or so. Currently, trails are open… clubs are grooming mainly at night with the cooler temps. Highs are forecasted to be in the Mid 30’s through Wednesday this week… and then temps slowly start to climb into the 40’s possible on Thursday and into the weekend.

We have snowmobilers here staying with us through Wednesday and they are saying the trails for the most part are in good condition still. With exception to road crossings and any road riding in town. Northern & western trails are in good shape.. plenty of snow on them.. southern trails are starting to get thin… especially when approaching highly trafficked areas… coming into the towns and gas stations and such.

Some snow is in the forecast for Tuesday night… not calling for much I saw (2-3 inches) last time I looked.

If you got a chance to come and ride this past season.. we hope the trails were good.. we hope you had a wonderful time and look forward to your return next year! And to BOTH of our Snowmobile Clubs and members… THANK YOU all for keeping the trails groomed and as smooth as possible this past snowmobile season. Lots of time and work goes into keeping our trail system open each year!! And last but not least… “THANK YOU” to the landowners who allow the trails to cross onto their property. Without you we wouldn’t have a trail system in Iron County to enjoy!!

Happy and Safe Tails to everyone and hopefully we will see y’all soon!! Don’t forget… AtV season is coming up next!! 🙂
