Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 24, 2023

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10″-12″

Date of Report: February 24, 2023

Area Report:

At 8:35pm, both groomers are out and working the trails. Thank you to all the sleds that packed down the trails to aid in this. With the cold temps tonight, hopefully they will set up nice for Saturday.

Be carfull in corners and steep grades. The snow doesn’t have much moisture to it, and will probably push up in corners revealing the ice base below. Ride Right, Ride Safe.

The trails were in Fair to Good condition today as I rode. For not being groomed in almost 2 weeks, it wasn’t that bad. Saturday should be some excellent early riding. As the traffic increase thru the day, they can become bumpy.

Hopefully we continue to receive more snow to keep the trails fresh and make it into March.

News and Reports:

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Along Hwy K West, there were several 100 trees removed this summer to place new electric poles. Most of the stumps are still there. If you were to hit one, it could ruin your trip quickly. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – February 23, 2023

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Unknown

Snow Cover: 12-18 inches

Date of Report: February 23, 2023

Area Report:

Well the storm seems to be over… we think received between 12 – 15 inches… but so hard to truly know with all the wind and drifting that came with the storm. I think it’s safe to say at least 12 inches and maybe a little bit more. So this is what we have all been waiting for and so “HAPPY” to see it here. I can’t really give you an accurate trail report tonight as most of the groomers and operators will be going out early in the morning to start to smooth down the new snow… but I can tell you by tomorrow evening I believe most of the Iron County Trail System will be in Good to Very Good condition again. The ice base is still there and under the snow.. so hold the speed down a little bit in the corners and sit back for hopefully a wonderful ride all weekend long! This storm front covered a large area so riding should be good no matter what direction you head this weekend!

Also, a reminder that Trail 15 N to the intersection of Trail #111 is temporarily closed this season because of a bridge issue… this is not a new closure it has been closed all season.

Again, a BIG “Thank You” goes out to the Iron County Snowmobile Club Members for grooming our trails and donating their time to keep our trails as smooth and safe as possible. Great group of people and we ALL appreciate what they do for our community and for our trails!!
