A little fresh snow overnight to brighten things up. We are grooming nightly, but with very little snow to work with and a lot of traffic, trails are still in early season conditions. A few wet swamps are still hindering our ability to groom everywhere. Lake are marked. Stay close to barrels for the safest conditions. Please stay on the trail!

Date of Report: December 30, 2016
Area Report:
The entire Frosty Club trails system was groomed on Thursday night. A couple of inches of fresh snow was added and it is currently snowing. Trails are in good condition this morning but the HEAVY traffic will probably make for some bumpy conditions as the day goes on. Groomers will be back out there tonight. Ride with caution as the trails could have some icy corners. The Cisco Chain, Lac Vieux Desert and North Twin are all marked. PLEASE stay near the barrels.

Happy New Year to All ~
The U. P. Thunder Riders are grooming every day now. We really need more snow than what we are getting regularly…a real dumper or two is our wish! I don’t have an update from the grooming that was done today but we don’t anticipate much in the way of changes. The base is about 7″ out there and trails are in fair to good condition. A lot of traffic today caused them to be a little rough from what we heard from some sledders, but with the cold and the grooming started this afternoon, we expect that conditions improved and are still about the same:
Trail 3 North has been fair with some bare spots to watch out for about half way to Bond Falls. From that point on, the trail north is in good shape.
Trail 3 South from Land O’ Lakes has been in good condition.
Trail 2 East towards Iron River has been in fair condition while Trail 2 West towards Marenisco and Lake Gogebic has been in good condition.
Trail 13 South has been in good condition, too.
Please be aware that with Christmas night’s freezing rain, there are some icy spots out there. You may also encounter some rocks and gravel that haven’t been totally covered up with snow yet. Also, we are hearing 4″ to 9″ of ice on the lakes. Where there are springs or moving water underneath, we are still concerned. Please, please be careful out there. Ask the locals before venturing across the lakes.
Be safe, have a wonderful time, and enjoy the beautiful Northwoods that we are so lucky to have been given.

Area Report:
The groomers were out last night & really had things smooth & firmed up this morning. We had a dusting to maybe 1″ of new snow today. 1-3″ forecast for Friday.
Trails that I could see along HWY 45 looked good this morning. As a matter if fact, the grade north of Log Cabin had not been ridden since being groomed last night as of 8:45 today.
Twin Haven via the new trail; Trail is nice except for the last 3/4 mile where it turns off the grade. This section must be ridden slowly. For those running along the power lines N from North Twin boat ramp, you now have a stop sign at the grade, E/W traffic has the right of way.
Pioneer Lake was marked yesterday, Buckatabon today & North Twin was marked yesterday. Expect rough lake travel with minimal snow cover, glare ice, slush & frozen ruts. If you travel the lakes, go slow. Trust me as I’ve seen 2 mishaps in 2 days on the Three Lakes chain.
News and Reports:
Don’t forget you need a WI trail permit to ride the state’s groomed trail system. Aggressive riding causes more trail damage than slower, less aggressive riding. Until the base gets built up & we get more snow to work with, groomers can only do so much to repair damage.
