Trail Report – : Stephenson County, Illinois – January 16, 2024

Reporter:Skinner

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 11 to 12

Date of Report: January 16, 2024

Area Report:

Trails are OPEN and are in good condition. We have started to groom and will try to stay at it. We did have 11″ of snow and the trails have plenty of snow on them but we also had a lot of wind so there is drifting out so ride safe. Don’t forget to feed the trail boxes when you stop at one of our businesses. If you need lodging the Baymont of Freeport has given us a snowmobile rate at $80 per night plus tax call 815-656-4632 and ask for snowmobile rate 

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – January 15, 2024

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Not Ridable

Snow Cover: 8-10 inches

Date of Report: January 15, 2024

Area Report:

Hey everyone, sorry for delay in updating Iron County’s trail report.  I took a couple weeks off with the low snowfall early on in January this year. Currently, I would say we have about 8-10 inches of snow depending where you are at and how the wind blew this past weekend with the storm.  Groomers have panned a few of the trails but really not enough snow to do much with out there yet.  Extremely cold temps through this week and weekend… sounds like a little warmer temps going into next week again.

 

So we’re all hoping for more snow as soon as possible to get out on the trails and kick up some snow.  I will update the report in a few days to keep everyone up to date on our area.

News and Reports:

With the extreme cold snap this week… lakes should be looking pretty good for the ice fisherman that may be looking to come up and do some ice fishing this weekend. Also, don’t forget – Michigan’s “FREE” Fishing Weekend 17th & 18th, 2024.

Free Michigan Snowmobile Dates for (2024) – February 9th, 10th and 11th, 2024. No permits or license needed for the dates listed above.

Don’t forget Iron County has a wonderful Ski Hill which is open and going strong! Be sure to check them out online as well.

We sure hope to see everyone soon this winter season. It’s “Our Time” to play!!  🙂

Date of Report: January 15, 2024

Snowmobile Information:

Conditions and snow totals vary throughout our trail system. 15″ on the high side by Oma and Saxon to 4″ near Lake Superior. The soft areas are not frozen, and seem to need breaking in order to freeze with these single-digit temps. Hopefully we get more snow in the days ahead to secure this base before traffic.  Trails remain CLOSED at this time.  Check back for regular updates!

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – January 15, 2024

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 1-2 inch base

Date of Report: January 15, 2024

Area Report:

Well the first big storm of 2024 for Bayfield County was a bust. Of the 12-20 inches predicted, we may have gotten 2-6 depending on where in the county you are. Clubs have been out panning the little snow we have. This cold snap will help freeze everything down, but we still need snow, and lots of it, before trails can open.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 15, 2024

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 0-5

Date of Report: January 15, 2024

Area Report:

Trails remain closed, but just a quick update on lake ice conditions. Many lakes are freezing over as the temps drop but they need some time yet. Nelson Lake and Moose Lake have been staked, however we would highly advise to stay on the staked trail if you take a ride on the lake. Groomers are not out yet as swamps and lakes are making more ice. We will update more officially on Tuesday after a few days of the cold weather.

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 4-8″

Date of Report: January 14, 2024

Snowmobile Information:

Looks like Friday’s storm gave us 3-5″ or so, depending on how optimistic you are, and who you fish with. Groomer Mike and I panned what we have tonight, and our trails look amazing, but we need snow. Odds are good we will stand down from grooming until we get more.

Reminder that this Saturday, January 20, is the Northern Hornshoe Santa raffle at Harrisons pub, located at 3160 Pokegama Lake Trail, in Lac du Flambeau. Fun starts at 1:00 P.M. Proceeds go to our Kubota Trail Groomer. Harrisons is the old Trailside located on trail 17 north of D. Bill and Joy have made an amazing rebuild out of the place. Look forward to seeing you.
