Snowmobile Report – January 11, 2024
Even though we have received snow it’s not enough to open the Ashland County Snowmobile Trails.  We still have alot of wet spots out there that still need to freeze.  Be patience more snow is on its way!

 

Snowmobile Information:

Please stay on the trail.  A lot of Ashland County snowmobile trails are on farmers land, please be respectful so we don’t lose our easement to their property. Snowmobiles may not be modified, or operated, to amplify or otherwise increase the total vehicle noise above the originally manufactured snowmobile noise level.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – January 11, 2024

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Minimal

Date of Report: January 11, 2024

Area Report:

The trails are awesome!   Well……………if you feel like just going out and walking around.  

If you want to snowmobile, not so much.

We have gone out and done some panning of the little snow we have.  This helps to fill the ruts and to create a flatter base that will freeze to make for a better trail system once the snow does arrive.

There is more snow forecast for this coming weekend, but according to the National Weather Service, it’s only going to produce 2-4″ additional inches in this area.  Folks, we need an 8″ dumping of wet snow in order to have something decent to work with.  And, when that happens, please don’t think we can open trails the next day!  The clubs will need a couple days to get things ready.

FYI, Vilas county has 11 snowmobile clubs.  In order for the trails to open, all 11 clubs have to be ready to open at the same time.  So, even if we had ours ready, we can’t open until everyone is ready.  We’ll keep you posted. 

In the meantime, you can still come up and enjoy the area.  There is so much to do here, even if you can’t ride.  We have incredible businesses that are open and ready to serve!

Don’t forget about our upcoming fundraisers!  Visit www.saynerbarnstormers.com

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – January 11, 2024

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 4″-5″ on the ground

Date of Report: January 11, 2024

Area Report:

I wish I had better news for our trails here in the Keweenaw. There is very little snow for the clubs to work with as of right now but some clubs have gone out and panned or rolled the trails in hopes to get a good base. They are calling for anywhere from 4 inches to a foot of snow starting Friday through Saturday. This will be our first significant snow fall and hopes to make our trails rideable.

Date of Report: January 11, 2024

Area Report:

Received a couple more inches last night and there is snow (4-8 inches they say) and cold (below 0) in the near term forecast so we are finally getting some where. Trail boss Bob and Silas are going to go out and pan the trail system tomorrow (minus any soft swamps they encounter). Hopefully we get get the base smooth and then more snow and cold will arrive.

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 10, 2024

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 5”

Date of Report: January 10, 2024

Area Report:

Trails still remain closed. There isn’t enough snow yet to pan the trails. As soon as all 11 clubs in Vilas County agree to open, we will post a date. 

The only work we have been able to do is some trimming and tree clearing on the trails. 

There is more snow in forecast, but looking to be another light amount for us to the north. Cold temps will then come in. This will help with freezing swamps up. Lakes look to be nice shape once trails do open.
