Snowmobile Report – February 21, 2023
Ashland County trails remain in FAIR condition. Be prepared for icy corners, hills and intersections. There may even be some bare spots. Please slow down, stay right, and be prepared for changing snow conditions.  Logging will be taking place February 10th for 2 weeks on Trail 8 from Parker Rd to White Bass Road.  Please use caution and ride safe.  Only 200 feet of trail will be dozed on each side.  Detour has been posted on Trail 12.  Be aware of more traffic in that area due to logging in progress.  Area affectied is by Agenda Rd and Blueberry Rd.  Enjoy your ride and stay safe!

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.

As always please follow the snowmobile trail rules and regulations.  As always operate with everyone’s safety in mind and report any hazardous trail issues that are observed to the Ashland County Sheriff’s Department (715-682-7023 opt 1) so that it can be forwarded to the appropriate service.

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.

Important reminders: There is no snowmobiling allowed from Ashland to Bad River/Odanah as snowmobiling is not permitted on reservation land.  However, snowmobiling is allowed from Bad River east to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

If you would like to receive an Ashland County Snowmobile map, let us know and we will mail one out to you! Call us at 715/682-2500 or email us fdchamber@visitashland.com.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – February 21, 2023

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Getting better

Date of Report: February 21, 2023

Area Report:

Yesterday, we received round 1 of a three part snow event.  Sayner received about 4″ so far.  This first round was very dry & fluffy.  It will not stick on the trails, so be aware that the base is still ice.  Hills and corners will continue to be difficult to navigate.  You may see a fresh coating of snow, but you’re still going to be riding on the ice.

Round 2, tonight, is supposed to be fairly minimal in accumulations.  The bigger system is coming Wednesday evening through Thursday.  Forecasts vary, but there is potential for an additional 4-8″ by end of Thursday.  Let’s hope this comes with some moisture in it!  Another 8″ of fluff won’t really improve conditions.

At this point, the Barnstormers are planning to resume grooming operations Thursday night.  

Once again, we need to emphasize, STAY ON THE TRAIL!  Two of our neighboring clubs have had to close nearly 20 miles of trails due to riders being disrespectful by trespassing on private property.  The land owners have had enough and have forced trail closures.  

TRAIL CLOSURE NOTICE:  Due to ongoing logging operations, the Barnstormer’s trail #51 is CLOSED between TIN 344 and 353!  DO NOT RIDE THIS SECTION OF TRAIL!

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: SNOW!!!!!!

Date of Report: February 20, 2023

Area Report:

We did receive an inch or two of snow today with several more inches in the forecast. YIPPEE! We kept our base but it is icy so be careful on the corners. I am guessing the groomers may go out in the next day or two and work some magic. The season is not over yet.

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

Many are curious as to conditions after the busy holiday weekend.   As you know, we have snow on the trails, but it was a hard and icy weekend.  Lakes are still quite icy, so your carbides and ice scratchers are getting a workout.  There is snow in the forecast this week! We are holding off on a full trail report until after the snow shows up, as some groomers are holding off until we get additional snow, to not damage the equipment. Stay tuned this week for additional updates.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Monday, 2/20/2023

At 8:00 a.m. it’s 5 degrees out with partly cloudy skies with snow coming this afternoon.

We haven’t groomed since last Thursday and there was very little sled traffic this past weekend due to the lack of snow and icy trails.

With 3 waves of snow forecast starting today through Thursday, our trails should be in better shape later this week.

We will start grooming again tomorrow if we receive enough new snow tonight.

Check in for an updated snowy trail report on Wednesday, February 23.

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 20, 2023

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: Ice

Date of Report: February 20, 2023

Area Report:

Bad news – Trails are still ice and no grooming occured over the weekend.

Good News – There is snow arriving Monday into Tuesday with 3-5″ of fresh snow. Then another one hits Wednesday into Thursday and that one is suppose to bring more snow than the first.

I’ll update with snow totals as we receive them and when grooming resumes.

Remember that under this new snow is a sheet of glare ice. If this snow we receive is dry, it will slide off the ice easily making corners very slippery. Please remember to slow down and Ride Right, Ride Safe!

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.
  • To see where the Groomer is at, check out  Groomer Tracker  Half the cost of the app comes back to Conover Sno-Buddies to support grooming operations.
