We received another fresh 6″+ of snow last night and it is still coming down. County wide conditions should be drastically improving. Groomers are out so please watch out for them. Also please be careful in a few of our chisel plowed fields. They are getting better but some may still be rough in spots. Enjoy the ride!

Area Report:
All trails in the county have been groomed and look really good at this time. F4 has been rerouted on part of Goodman Grade to avoid logging operation.
Most corners and curves will have some underlying ice so please be careful and respect them. You never know when a sled will be coming around that corner from the opposite direction. Ride smart and safe. ALWAYS be on alert for groomers.

Trail report for January 23, 2019 – Trails good to fair. We got a little snow the other day but we sure could have used more. The corners and other areas are very icy so use extreme caution. We are expected to get more snow throughout the week so any amount of snow will help improve our trail conditions. We will have our groomers out tonight and tomorrow morning to do our entire trail system and do the best they can do to lay a flat trail for you. Please use caution when coming up to a groomer. They can be on the trail any time of the day or night. Follow all directions from the groomer driver. The groomers are out there to make your ride more enjoyable. Give them a thumbs up when you see them. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

I have been out and about on the Frosty Club and many other area trails the past few days and everything we rode was in good to excellent shape. Been on the Land O Lakes, Phelps, Conover, and Boulder Junction trails all week and they did not disappoint.Groomers are running nightly. It is going to be another cool weekend so bundle up and enjoy some great riding.

Thank You to the Gateway Lodge and the 125 people who attended the Comedy Night at the Gateway. Another successful Frosty Club fundraiser. Smooth trails would not happen without your continued support.

Area Report:
I will rate the trails as good with the snow we had last night. The trails will get better when we can get out and work on them. The Jane Addams was groomed on Monday and should be excellent. If you are riding STAY ON MARKED TRAILS OR STAY HOME, we have had a report of someone riding all over one of our fields, the land owner gave us permission to cross field not to run all over it. We have put our trail boxes out in the stops on our trails so please remember to FEED THEM.

Area Report:
The big snowfall prediction for this week missed us….We received an 1″ of new fluff over the last 24 hours. No doubt a couple of inches would have been a big improvement, but the trails are still in fair shape. For the most part they are hard and smooth. There has been very little traffic lately to break the trail base down. The groomer drivers continue to report back the trails are in better than expected shape.
There are a few trails that keep the overall rating to fair. The bypass trail (along hwy 8) is thin because it is mostly all exposed to the sun. The trail 15/17 south towards Gleason has a large section of logging (trail is plowed for logging trucks) and the road route is icy.
The rest of the trails are fair / good shape.
The groomers continue to run the normal nightly routes. There is good riding out there. Be safe and stay right.

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS ARE OPEN!
Trails Good to Fair
January 23 2019 6:15am – 13 degrees – High of 20
Total SNOW on the east side of Eagle River is 3 inches. A little less in town. All trails covered with fresh SNOW. Really improving conditions. Most trails are in Good shape this morning. Over night grooming.
The freezer door is closed so the temps did come up & it’s overcast. Great time to ride!! 20’s yesterday with continue today. Thursday looks to be in the low teens. Then the deep freeze returns on Friday with a high of 3 below & double digit below at night for the next week.
Little or no problem areas to report. “The grade” Trail 13/3 in town is in good shape and so are other open areas. Little or no sun is a good thing. West could still use more SNOW but still not bad with the new cover. Expect the high hill trail on 70W across from the Wisconsin River to thin out as the traffic increases. Trail 10E between Loon Lk Rd. & Bloom Lk Rd could use more SNOW. After that section 10E really improves all the way out. Same with heading north & west.
Worth repeating is that:
Sno-Eagles Country has 2 areas that have one-way trails. 10E is a one-way trail from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart. The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area. Clearly marked with DO NOT ENTER signs. Plus trail signs are backwards if you are going the wrong way.
EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Stay by the reflective orange barrels. Do not drift away from the barrels as it is not safe to do so. Remember not all lakes have trails so if you don’t see marker do not ride on it to be safe. These are the only 2 lakes that are marked in Sno-Eagles Country. No other lake trails.
Also there is a dusk to dawn speed limit of 55 MPH.
Are you DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE?
See ya on the trails!

Ashland County Snowmobile Report January 22, 2019
Trails in AC are open, 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 is being groomed today!!! There is a detour on 77 by Cayuga. Detour is posted. We did get a few inches of fresh snow so the groomers are out there on the trails.
The Tri-County Corridor is OPEN.
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.
