Area Report:
Groomers have been out flattening trails and with the cold temps and they are freezing down nice and flat so it’s made for great riding! Layer up and hit the trails! Lots of amazing businesses to stop at and warm up. Always remember to stay on the trail on the lakes, especially with the hard frozen snow there can be drifts and ice.
Ride right and ride safe!

Light SNOW off & on yesterday afternoon into last night. More west of Eagle River. No SNOW in the forecast for the next week. Tomorrow, Friday the temps will be the coldest. High of 12 below & low of 23 below. Double digit below zero at night until next Tuesday.
SNOW not going anywhere with the COLD. It will get crusty & what I call fast, meaning slippery. Slow down everywhere as you ride.
If you ride during the cold snap be sure to tell someone where you are riding; don’t ride alone; fully charged phone; dress in layers; tell someone where you are headed; stop more often to warm up & drink warm drinks, refrain from drinking alcohol. Heated gloves, socks & vests or jackets under your snowmobile jacket would good too. Last BE SURE YOUR SLED GAS TANK IS FULL to prevent frosting in the tank.
GTS Tracking shows almost a full grooming session. Here is a screen shot of grooming last night into this morning
Green are the trails groomed last night into this morning. Blue are trails groomed 48 hours ago. Orange are trails groomed 72 hours ago. No color. No grooming for over 72 hours. Right click photo to enlarge.
Trail updates
The Wisconsin River Bridge section of 10/13 is frozen & very rough. Do not go off the trail. Not safe.
Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. Club is working on a re route.
Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. Safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail have been installed.
Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter. If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water.

Trail Conditions: Excellent
Snow Cover: 15-24 inches
Date of Report: January 21, 2026
Area Report:
Out trail system is open and in very good condition. Forecast is for a few new inches of snow throughout the week. Temps have been very cold the past couple of days but will be warming up slowly as we get to the weekend. Groomer operators are out on the trails on both sides of the county. The Chippewa Sno-Kats on the East side and Iron Range Trail Club on the west side. Both clubs are out on the trails daily, so please ride right and watch the corners for oncoming traffic.
The following trails are in very Good to Excellent condition – Trail #2, #107, #15 N, #111, #18, #113, #16, #116, #113. Trails #15 S is in Good to Very Good condition. Again, trails are being groomed daily. If you happen to come across and downed trees, please note the trail # and contact the clubs as soon as possible so they can send someone out to remove it off the trail. Traffic is still on the low side but we are seeing a few more riders coming through as each day passes. It is such a welcome site to see all the snow this year and near perfect conditions on the trails. Lots of work has and will continue to go into maintaining these trails by our local snowmobile clubs and volunteers. Be sure to give them a waive or thumbs up if you see them along the trail. As “Always” ride RIGHT and watch your corners.
Happy trails!!
