Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – March 18, 2023

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4-10″

Date of Report: March 18, 2023

Snowmobile Information:

If this were December, I would rate our trails excellent. The sunny slope areas between Mattke Rd, and F were frozen this morning, and covered. North in the Powell Marsh – the trail is 100% covered. Been blowing and drifting all day. In between, trails are great. 5 into the casino is awesome. F trail is awesome. The riders were also great. Fist bump, high five, and thumbs up to the 199 out of 200 sleds I saw the last two days. Most groups were running tight formations. Sleds slowed down for our riding groups AND near the groomer. We had a slower group today, and no one passed without a signal from us. Talk about riding to the right, it happened. Today is Saturday, and I saw the kind of riding you would expect during the week in the busy season. It was busy, but safe. It’s 15 degrees now at 9:20 PM, with a low of 7 predicted. Highs in low 30’s, and lows in teens for a couple of days, then higher lows. We keep pulling a rabbit out of the hat, I hope we can run right to the end of the month. Mark

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – March 18, 2023

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 12-18″

Date of Report: March 18, 2023

Area Report:

Not much new to report. One groomer went out last night and hit most of the main trails across our system. Reports from riders today were trails were holding up. The lake effect snow machine has been going all day. Not much accumuation from it. One minute it looks like a blizzard out there, then it slows down to a lazy snow flurry. Been enough to whiten up the dirt spots.

I’ll be going out later tonight and spot grooming on the east side. We will look at it again tomorrow and see what needs to be hit again. At this time, we are above our grooming cap, so by sending one unit out and hitting the areas that need it, we are trying to keep the costs down. Enjoy the trails now, the latest we can be open is March 31st.

News and Reports:

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Be careful in corners as there is an ice layer under the snow. 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.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS – UPDATE
All Conditions on average GOOD

Total of 5-6+- inches of SNOW in the last couple days. Forecast for 2+ more. LEF SNOW right now which is a bonus. Cold one this morning. High of 20 today. Then a March bounce up to 35 tomorrow during the day. Teens at night until Tuesday then 20’s at night. SNOW in the forecast for Wednesday & Thursday. Get out & ride it when we got it.

With the sleety rain a couple of days ago the base is even thicker than it was. Cold night time temps are helping that. SNOW on top. Trails are in really GOOD shape in the woods. Pretty GOOD everywhere else too. Did find some crusty areas. With the hard ice underneath it’s “fast” & slippery so slow down. Reports from other riders throughout the Vilas county reporting pretty much the same. Low traffic so it’s a great time to ride! It’s getting late in the season so ride when we got it. Trail can stay open until midnight March 31st.

No grooming last night. All trails were groomed prior to the sleet a couple nights ago. Then the new SNOW. For now to prevent damage the heavy equipment is parked. Stay tuned.

The barrels have been removed from Catfish & Eagle Lake trails. There was a lot of slush on both lakes. Didn’t want to wait for the barrels to freeze with the cold snap.
