Area Report:

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS ARE OPEN!
Trails Good

January 25 2019 6:58am – 13 below zero – High of 3 below

5-6 inches of SNOW over the last few days. Some real SNOW & some Lake Effect SNOW. Groomers out last night.

SNOW is white & trails are really GOOD. “The grade” Trail 13/3 in town is in good shape and so are other open areas. West is much better with the new SNOW. 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 is some of the best riding! So is heading north & south.

Here comes the COLD. 13 below over tonight. Weather guys forecast below zero all of today. Below zero every night for the next week. Single digit above or below zero during the day forecast for the next week.

Here are some cold weather tips.

Don’t ride alone
Tell someone where you will be riding
Dress in layers
Stop more often & drink warm drinks
Make sure you keep the gas tank full
Be sure your phone is fully charged & you have a map

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.

See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – January 24, 2019

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 3 to 12 inches

Date of Report: January 24, 2019

Area Report:

General Countywide Report:
Most of the county received 3 to 10 inches of new snow earlier this week, resulting in improved trail conditions throughout. Even with the new snow, trail conditions remain variable, with hard bases and icy conditions still being reported throughout the county. Use extra caution when out on the trails. Also, please be aware of maintenance equipment on the trail, as grooming can occur at any time, day or night. Some swamp crossings may still not be frozen and there are some trails that have only received minimal amounts of grooming. Approach all wet areas with extra caution and be prepared to turn around if the crossing appears suspicious. Be wary of low hanging branches, wet areas, downed trees and/or limbs, and other similar hazards that may compromise the trail. Use extra caution, be prepared to turn around or find an alternate route and stay on the trails!

See below for area specific reports. For the most up to date report of trail conditions, please contact the local snowmobile club.

Drummond Snojacks: We received early week snowfall of up to 3″ and trails remain in good condition. All trails were groomed mid week with the exception of trail 63 north of Grand View. Trail 63 and Trail 4 north of Grand View, in the Mason area continue to be rideable, however snow cover is very light. Some bare areas in the Bibon Swamp. As a reminder to trail users, most of the trails in the Mason area are on private property. Please stay on the trail. Don’t cut corners or look for shortcuts.

Namakagon Trail Groomers: 3 to 6 inch base, with 3+” of new snow. Most of the trails in the area are in good to very good condition. Please expect grooming operations at any time, day or night.

Valhalla Area: Trails in the Valhalla area are in good to excellent condition. With up to 10 inches of fresh new snow over the past few days, trails are being groomed twice a week.

Iron River Area: Iron River area trails are in very good condition with the recent snowfall. The base continues to be hard and icy, so please ride accordingly.

Frosty’s Vintage Riders (Mason/Delta Area): With 2 to 3 inches of new, fluffy snow, trail conditions in the Mason/Delta area have improved. But there is still a general lack of snow through the Bibon Swamp and a hard, icy base on most trails. Be extra cautious when approaching icy corners and hills.

South Shore Trail Club (Port Wing, Herbster & Cornucopia Areas): Trail 1 between Herbster and Corny was groomed on January 23; Trails 40 & 41 will be groomed on January 24; Port Wing trails from Iron River to Touve Rd were groomed on January 23; all are in good to very good condition.

A portion of Trail 40 (Wally Polk) was recently plowed, but is still open. If riding this section of trail be aware of logging activity, including haul trucks. To get to Port Wing, an alternate route would be Trail 43 to Trail 66 to Trail 3.

Barnestormers (Barnes Area): All trails in the Barnes area have been groomed and are in good condition. The trail conditions improve when heading further north. Trail 31 south of Mulligan Creek Road remains closed until a few repairs are completed and conditions improve (more snow).

Waino Riders (Northwest Corner of the County): Trail 1 from the Tri-County Corridor to Highway 13 was groomed on Wednesday and remains in great condition.

Washburn Valhallers: Trail #13 from Washburn to the Tri-County Corridor was groomed today and is in nice shape with most bare spots covered from our recent snow. Nice and flat! Trail #13 from Washburn to Valhalla will be groomed 1/24/19 and is expected to be in good to excellent shape. Both trails should provide great (but chilly) riding into and out of the Washburn area this weekend!!

News and Reports:

Closures:
Trail 31S – South of Mulligan Creek Road is closed due to culverts out and downed trees.

Trail 63 in the Cable Area: Trail 63 just south of the intersection with Trail 70 south of the town of Cable is closed until further notice.

Ashland County Snowmobile Report January 24, 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. North of Marengo has been groomed. There is a detour on 77 by Cayuga. Detour is posted. We did get a few inches of fresh snow so the groomers have been out there on the trails.

The Tri-County Corridor is OPEN and 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.

There will be low temps and blowing snow throughout the evening tonight and thru the weekend. Stay back a ways from the sled in front of you and slow down, the blowing snow makes it real hard to see. Remember to watch out for the groomers when out on the trails! Once again, there will be a ton of riders in town, so please remember to drive safely out there. Stay off all ice, stay on your side of the trail, slow down and enjoy all the Keweenaw has to offer, and leave the drinking for after the riding.

Snowmobile Trail Conditions

Prentice Bush Benders 01/24/2019
We have received a few inches of snow over the last few days. This will help improve the trails somewhat but they remain in fair condition in the wooded areas and poor condition with minimal snow coverage in the open areas. They are still in early season riding condition with some rough spots so use caution when riding. As of today we will start our normal grooming schedule and will be out every day panning/grooming while conditions allow. The trails to the South and East have the most snow cover and all creeks and swamps remain frozen. There is logging on trail 181 East of Prentice and on trail 116 around County Road K. Ride safe and have fun.

The Sno Drovers 1/15/19
The Sno Drovers’ trails in the Pike Lake area continue to be in fair to good condition. While the weekend traffic was hard on the thin snow cover, but they are grooming up well. There are rocks in areas that have made their way to the top of the snow, especially on 101 west from the lakes by the iron bridge and on 111 just north of Fish Trap Road. There are occasional bare spots, but not too many nor too bad. If we get just a few inches of snow, the trails should be great since they are nice and flat now.
Logging continues on Trail 120 south of the big swamp and Fould’s Creek Rd and on Trail 108 between Trail 101 and highway 70. Take these slowly and expect icy conditions and logging equipment.

TRAIL REPORT 2018-2019 SEASON

January 24, 2019 Pam Sobieski No Comments

Cross Country Cruisers Trail Report 1-24-19 I am starting out on a sad note here today, we had a young 25 year old involved in a fatal snowmobile crash In Oneida Co Tuesday morning. He was operating a snowmobile on an unmarked snowmobile trail down South Stone Lake Road when he struck a closed metal gate. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this young man and his family and friends. On a positive note we have received 2 to 3 inches of light fluffy snow so far this week and it has helped sweeten our trails up and added to the Northwood’s Beauty! The colder temperatures are certainly preserving our base and most of the Cruisers trails are in good to very good condition! Trail 3 is good to very good, trail 5 is fair to good, and trails 6, 10, 11,17,47,51 and the Bear Skin are good to very good. Trail 70 in town is fair. The Bear Skin is thin on snow close to town but improves as you travel out. All trails have some icy corners so us some extra caution! We have been informed by the individual’s that mark Lake Tom and Lake Katherine that they both have been marked. There has also been a land bypass built off the canal and around the troublesome tunnel. Please stay by the markers and follow all signage! Along with all other Lakes in the Cruisers area please stay by the markers!! The trails are going to hold up well this weekend with the cold temperatures so there should be some great riding! Let`s all be safe out there and stay on the marked trails and Lakes! The clubs work very hard to make the trails safe for your riding enjoyment! Use caution in the corners and stay to the right. Ride Right Ride Safe!! Steve Wolfe
