The spur trail leading from the Taconite to the Oasis Bar and Grill in Britt has been rerouted due to landowner issues.

There is also logging activity going north from the Orr North GIA Trail.

Some trail segments may be ungroomed but clubs are out working to get everything groomed and ready for riding.

Report from Rolling Hills ATV & Snowmobile Club: After getting out and grooming the new snow that Washburn County received most trails have 2 to 3 inches of packed snow on top of the ice that is on the trails. Trails are in good riding conditions, and corners are not breaking loose as they were before the recent snow.

Reporter:Ryan Strand

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 12-20″

Date of Report: February 1, 2019

Area Report:

Trails are in excellent shape currently with a little more snow and better conditions to the north. With the big warm up set to begin tomorrow 2/2/19 the trails are set to tentatively close at 4AM on Sunday 2/3/19. Please keep tabs on our snow phone if you do venture out on the trails in the event things change. Snow Phone: 262-742-2664. The snow phone and the Walworth County Snowmobile Alliance Facebook page will be updated first! Riding on closed trails is trespassing and comes with a hefty ticket. So please keep tabs on this. Closing our trails will be in attempt to save some of the great base that we have right now. Cold temperatures are supposed to return next week. Hopefully we have a base left by then. We will survey the trail conditions once that time comes. Enjoy the next day and a half of snowmobiling in SE WI.

Trail report for February 1, 2019– Trails are good. The groomers were out last night and early this morning and the trails turned out very nice. With the bitter cold temps and very low traffic the trails are staying rock hard. The corners and other areas remain icy. Please use caution. We are expected to get warmer temps and increased traffic over the weekend. The groomers will be out to do what they can do. Give them a thumbs up when you see them. They are out there to make your ride more enjoyable. During the subzero temps please be aware that cold weather injuries can increase. Don’t ride alone. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

The riding should be good today (Friday) and tomorrow. We are going to CLOSE our trails on Sunday and try to save the base we have built.
