Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – December 31, 2018

Reporter:Price County Tourism Department

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 4-6

Date of Report: December 31, 2018

Area Report:

As of 9pm on Dec 30th the trails in the North Part of Price county have started to be groomed. Trails are packed but still in rough condition. This morning an additional 2 inches of snow fell that will help build the trails. Please drive safely and enjoy Price County Trail system.

Trail Report from NorthWoods Hi-Riders Snowmobile Club
Solberg Lake Area, Price Co. Dec 28th.
The temperature has dropped and everything is freezing back up. The trails in the Solberg Lake area are rideable but only have a minimal amount of snowbase. I took a 20 mile ride this afternoon. The trails are rough, but there is enough snow to keep the slides from heating up. If you are gung-ho to go snowmobiling, you can ride, but use caution. Lakes in the area are not marked yet, but there are ice fisherman out there with snowmobiles and ATV’s. Do not cross a lake unless you know it’s safe.
Check with local businesses for further details

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – December 29, 2018

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 4-6″ of new snow

Date of Report: December 29, 2018

Area Report:

Rhinelander Sno-Trails and Oneida County trails will open today (12/29/18) at 5:00 pm. Lake crossings are only open if they are marked. It could be another week before all lakes are deemed safe enough to mark (with barrels).

This is early season conditions. Hodag Sno-Trails will have most of the trail system packed with the groomers at this point. We have not been out with the drags, because there is just not enough snow for the drags to make a significant impact.

Can you go out and ride, sure, but be aware there could be rough areas, wet spots in the swamps and minimal base in the woods. The club has been out working hard to make sure all the trails have been inspected, signed, brushed, packed are ready for more snow. The tracked groomers have been out every day packing trails. This activity flattens the trail base to make it smoother with fresh snow and drives down the swamp areas to allow them to freeze up solid with the nightly cold temps.

We need more snow, but the trails will be open for those who want to get out now. Please stay on the marked trails, we need to keep all of our landowners happy, so we can maintain the trail system we have.

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – December 29, 2018

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 6-12 inches

Date of Report: December 29, 2018

Area Report:

The Bayfield County snowmobile trails will be open on Saturday, 12/29/18 and are in early-season condition. Most of the county received a decent, but variable, amount of heavy/wet snow over the past few days. However, warm temperatures and rain preceded the snow. As a result, many wet areas, especially some swamp crossing, are not frozen and still require packing and persistent low temps to develop a hard frost. Approach all wet areas with extra caution and be prepared to turn around if the crossing appears suspicious. Snowmobile clubs are actively opening gates, clearing downed trees and/or limbs, and packing/prepping the trails. Riders should be extra cautious when travelling on the trails during this early season period. Be wary of low hanging branches, wet areas, downed trees and/or limbs, and other similar hazards that may compromise the trail. At this time the trails are NOT groomed. Grooming operations will start when conditions permit. Again, snowmobile trails are open, but in early season condition. Use extra caution, be prepared to turn around or find an alternate route and stay on the trails! For the most up to date report of trail conditions, please contact the local snowmobile club. Below are sections of trail that are currently closed or require additional cautions when riding:

There is no access to Port Wing from Trails 3 and 40.

Trail 1 heading east from Port Wing to Herbster is impassable at this time.

Trail 4, east of Mason and west of Sanborn, from Brown Rd. to the Ashland County line is closed.

Trail 31 South, from Mulligan Creek Rd. to the Sawyer County line is closed.

Trails 15, 80, 90, and 8, in Cable and Namakagon, all have wet/swamp crossings that are not frozen. Extra caution must be taken when approaching these areas. Be prepared to turn around if a crossing is not capable of supporting your machine.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!
VILAS COUNTY TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS ARE OPEN
Early Season Riding with FAIR & some POOR

December 29, 2018 10:37am – 10 degrees- Cloudy

Holy moly! It’s finally here! The trails open!!

Groomers have been out & nearly all trails in Sno-Eagles Country have been panned. Thick ice base in some areas. Thin ice base in other areas. Most are SNOW covered but remember SNOW on top of ice makes for slippery riding. Add the Lake Effect SNOW that fell yesterday & best to slow down. The SNOW base is best in the woods under cover with 4-5 inches of SNOW average. Right through town thinner.

EAGLE LAKE IS MARKED & OPEN. ORANGE BARRELS WERE AT THE LANDING AT BRAYWOOD SO CATFISH SHOULD BE OPEN SHORTLY. Stay by the orange reflective barrels to be safe.

See ya on the trails!

December 29, 2018
Ashland County Snowmobile trails opened Saturday, December 29. All trails will be open, except the trail from Marengo north to the East end of Ashland, that section will be closed. They are out packing the trails today. Unsure of what trail conditions will be like. The snow we received is good packing snow but with the rain/snow we received it may be wet underneath. Ride at your own risk. The Corridor has been groomed.

The Tri-County Corridor is now OPEN but conditions are poor at this time for riding. The Tri-County Corridor is open from Superior to Ashland. There are still several areas on the eastern end that require attention but all known hazards have been identified and marked. Use caution when approaching ribbons, barricades, and cones.
