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.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Good to Excellent

Late season riding & late season temps. 10 below yesterday morning. 22 above this morning. With a Winter Storm Watch for Thursday in to Friday. Big SNOW totals possible. All depending on the temps. Stay tuned!

It’s late season & trails conditions change fast. For the most part trails are Very Good on average. Exception is north side trails along roads & through town. Snow covered in town but soft & mushy. Evil sun is out longer breaking down snow. Roads have cover along the edges. Without new SNOW will be bare soon. Riding for me has been 10 one ways. Heading to town which is west on north side has burn throughs especially under the big pines. Heading back on south side heading east is Very Good except the 70E bridge crossing.

Touch up grooming of Trail 17N last night. Staying off ’til it cools down.

With the number of accidents & fatalities this season will keep reminding you:

When you come upon a group of sleds in front of you on the trail. Passing them can get you in trouble. Have been seeing this all winter. When an entire group passes, by the time the last sled passes, a sled could be coming from the other direction.

Remember as you ride & meet a groomer the equipment is NOT able to leave the trail due to it’s weight. Pull over & stop. Wait for direction from the driver. Give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!

Please ride on the right side, slow down, limit alcohol & no off trail riding.

Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are still marked. With the new SNOW & wind expect some drifts. If a lake is not marked it probably is not safe.

Snow Cover: 8-12

Date of Report: March 14, 2023

Area Report:

Trails are in really good shape with a nice base, we had 10 inches fall the other day and groomers have been out. Supposed to be in the 40s the next couple days and rain for Thursday, Friday it is supposed to change back to snow, get your last days of March riding in while you can.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – March 14, 2023

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 8″ +

Date of Report: March 14, 2023

Area Report:

We had nearly a foot of new snow over this past weekend. I groomed last night & have to say the trails were the best I’ve seen all year! If you can get out & ride today, you’ll find amazing trails and limited traffic.

Weather changes things daily this time of year. Tomorrow is forecast for 42 degrees and Thursday is 39 with rain. There is potential for that rain to turn to snow by Friday. Temps will back into the 20s for the weekend. Trails will certainly degrade over the next couple days, but most likely still some good riding. Conditions this weekend will totally depend on how much rain or snow we get. It looks like we’ll get at least one more weekend with the trails open. Keep an eye on the weather!

Late season weather has made some of our steeper hills too hazardous for the grooming equipment to navigate, so we have some sections of our system that we’ve stopped grooming. At this point in the season, we just aren’t going to risk injury or equipment damage. So, if you find areas in the Barnstormer’s system that are not getting groomed, that’s why.

Stay safe & enjoy what’s left of the season!!

Gogebic Area Grooming

Groomed up Trail 1 in the Marenisco area and March is definitely in its “lion” phase with a good dump of 8” or more with it still coming down as I type. There is a whole lot of snow out there folks and the trails are in peak condition for this time of the season. Get out and ride!

!!TRAIL CLOSURE!!

Trail 1S on the north end of Lake Gogebic where the highways of M-64 and M-28 intersect 4 miles west of Bergland is closed for the remainder of the season as logging crews move in. We thank our logging landowners greatly for the access they provide and sledders you have to respect the closures! You can get to Marenisco using the lake.

If you’re thinking about coming up to ride – don’t think too long! Come on up while everything is still good!!!

Trails in Eagle River & ALL of Vilas county are in fantastic riding condition! The 5-6+ inches of new SNOW over the weekend over the existing base have the trails Good to Excellent. Plenty of moisture so trails are laying down really good after grooming. It’s COLD this morning. 13 below! Heading to a high of 33. Time to ride it when we got it!

Not much more to say about the trails. They are in fantastic condition. The road crews have been out plowing & there are high banks. The groomer guys were out last night & are cleaning out the road crossing. They have a few to complete yet so be aware of that. Also with the high banks be sure to stop & be careful crossing. Vehicles hard to see. Otherwise trails are WOW!

Nearly a full grooming last night. Here are trails the were not groomed:

Trail 1 to Eagle Lake trail
Trail 10E spurs

With the number of accidents & fatalities this season will keep reminding you:

Please ride on the right side, slow down, limit alcohol & no off trail riding.

Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are still marked. With the new SNOW & wind expect some drifts. If a lake is not marked it probably is not safe.
