Cross Country Cruisers Trail Report 2-7-19 We have snow!! I am not sure if we have some new snow dancers or what but we got snow and more snow on the way!! We received around 4” or 5” of new snow Tuesday afternoon and evening and an inch or so last night. For today the forecast is for another 6” to 8”. The Cruisers have already been out early this morning grooming this new snow into perfection and we will be back out tonight grooming the remainder of the Cruisers trails into what will be some fantastic riding for the weekend! I am going to keep this pretty simple today by saying all Cross County Cruisers Trails will be in very good to excellent condition for the weekend! All road routes should be in good shape also. If you are in the area this weekend please stop by the Cruisers groomer barn located just of trail 17 on Sunday the 11th as we along with the Minocqua Forest Riders, Lake Tom Sno Fleas, the Minocqua Chamber of commerce and the AWSC will be hosting this year’s Celebrate Wisconsin Snow Show!

Ashland County Snowmobile Report February 7, 2019
Trails in Ashland County are open, groomed and in very good condition, except the trail from Marengo north to the East end of Ashland, that section is closed. Trails are being groomed from Marengo South. AND…North of Marengo has been groomed.

The Tri-County Corridor is OPEN and has been groomed!

As always please follow the snowmobile trail rules and regulations. 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. As always operate with everyone’s safety in mind and report any hazardous trail issues that are observed to the Ashland County Sheriff’s Department (715-682-7023 opt 1) so that it can be forwarded to the appropriate service.

Prentice Bush Benders trail report 02/06/2019

Well we finally got 6+ inches of snow over night with 8+ more predicted for Thursday. Last weekend our trails held up really well from snowmobile traffic so our base is still there. The melt on Sunday really hurt the open areas but with the new snow these are not an issue any more. There may be some over flow from the melt on Sunday so ride safely. We will be grooming all week and should have all trails groomed by the weekend. The trails should all be in good condition by the weekend. Ride safe and have fun.

Kennan/ Catawba Driftsplitters 2/6/2019

We will have all trails groomed and in very good shape by Thursday. There is logging on trail 94 and on trail 181 between intersection 100 and intersection 101. With the good snow we got all trails will be groomed twice a week.

Sno Gypsies 2/6/2019

Trails are being groomed a couple times a week now. All trails are open. The fresh snow last night really added to the good base we have. Additional snow tonight and tomorrow will only help to make them better. Enjoy the trails and ride safe.

Snowmobile Trail Reports:

Red Arrow Snowmobile Trails (Townsend) – It’s 14 degrees in beautiful downtown Townsend this morning. We received 6 1/2″ of fresh snow yesterday, and if my Weather Channel App is accurate, we could receive 5″-8″ more Thursday. This should turn the area into snowmobilers heaven.

The groomers will most certainly be out working their magic on the trails tonight and throughout the rest of the week.

Paul Bunyan (Lakewood) – The Paul Bunyan Riders trails will be totally double groomed by tonight before the snow arrives. The groomer operators are doing an awesome job bringing you the absolute best trails in Oconto County. They started Monday afternoon and today there is two shifts with all 3 machines. We will continue to groom the new snow we receive in the coming days. Ride safe because they are very icy after the rain.

Chute Pond Snowmobile Trails (Mountain) – Chute Pond trails are open, being groomed, and will remain in good to very good condition. There may be some icy spots under the top layer of snow, so use extra caution. Grooming will continue over the next several days- so please watch for them on the trail any time of day or night- and always yield the right of way to the groomers. Stay to the right, and enjoy your ride!

Bagley and Brazeau Joyriders Snowmobile Trails – B &B Joyriders trails received 5” of new snow, Tuesday. The groomers have been out all day Wednesday and Wednesday night. They will be back out Friday after the next snow fall, 3” to 6” that maybe on the way. The trails are in good to very good condition. Some of the open fields on the south end of the trail system are a little light of snow. If you ride to Suring, the old trail is closed through the golf course, but the trail does go around it and back into town.

Gillett – Trails are open and groomed earlier today and in good shape. Be aware there is ice under the snow be cautious.
