Area Report:
All the east side trails were groomed by me last night. We are staying out of the cemetery trail, last night and again Thursday night. I’m sure Trail Boss Chad will try to get in there on Friday. With the colder temps coming, that should help freeze up the swamp in there good. The west side was patially groomed, along K to Buckatabon Rd, the D-loop, and 13 up to Rummels Rd. I’m guessing the rest was good from night before since the same operator was out there Tuesday evening. Everything I groomed last night panned in real nice. But I did meet quite a few sleds last night. Most were diligent in getting off the trail to allow me room to pass, or waited till I stopped in a safe area to pass. Most were easy on the throttle when they hit the fresh groomed trail. Then there was the group of 4 that felt the need to power thru every corner I just groomed. Snow didn’t have a chance to set up, so every corner had to be pulled back in again. Luckily, I had to go back that way. If they hit it after my second pass, it would have ruined it for everyone else the next day. So please remember to enjoy the fresh trail, but don’t accelerate out of every corner.
News and Reports:
We have a spot that sleds are riding off trail. This is on Trail 3 where sleds are going past a barrier and caution tape to ride on the ATV trail. We don’t have permissions for snowmobiling on this private land. Please stay on the trail.
If you find a condition that you need to report to the Conover Sno-Buddies like a down tree, water on the trail, etc, either message us on Facebook, use the contact page on our website, or even notify a local establishment. They know how to get a hold of us to fix the issue.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Good to Excellent
Schiff of SNOW overnight with a bit more this morning. Less than an inch. Next SNOW tomorrow, Friday. An inch in the forecast. With temps in the mid 20’s & lots traffic trails have softened up. Found this through Eagle River. Lots of moisture in the SNOW & fluids from the sleds make the SNOW light brown. Didn’t find snirt in the SNOW very soft though. What the trails need is new SNOW & COLD. Cold is coming in starting Friday night. Single digits & below zero for the next 10 days. Daytime single digits. Not much SNOW. Start DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
Early panning built the base of ice that held up for the most part during the past major warm up. COLD temps for the next week plus. Last night groomed from the groomer barn:
Won’t be riding today. Heading out west tomorrow, Friday to the Lac du Flambeau area. Report conditions later Friday
Do know Eagle & Catfish Lake trails still have drifts & surface slush off the marked trail so please stay by the orange reflective barrels. Remember not all lakes are safe.
NOTE: Off of Trail 70W after entering St. Germain is a trail locals call “The Goat” trail. It is a Club Trail that starts at TIN 287 to TIN 288 that is CLOSED. It is clearly marked as CLOSED with fencing & signs. Please do not ride through this area from either direction. DO NOT RIDE ON HWY 70 as this is not legal. Right click on map for larger version
On snowmobile designated road routes need to follow the speed limit set for the road for all vehicles.
Last, off trail riding is a big problem. PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL & Take the Snowmobilers Pledge.
Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! THINK COLD!
See ya on the trails Friday!

Area Report:
Good Thursday morning! The Phelps Trail System is in excellent riding conditions. We picked up around an inch of snow overnight with another 1″-2″ forecasted for tomorrow. Trails have been groomed and a great base is out there. Due to the unseasonable temps, some of trails across swamps have not been groomed. Colder weather is in the forecast for the weekend with highs in the single didgets and lows in the minus teens. This will help keep the trails in excellent conditions and frezze the swamps better. Enjoy your time here in Phelps and if you don’t belong to a club, join today. https://www.phelpssnowmobileclub.com/ Please stay on the marked trails and respect your fellow snowmobilers by staying to the right and watch your speeds. Make sure you stop by our trail sponsers and say hi and thank our groomer operators if you happen to see them out on the trails.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Wednesday, 1/25/2023
At 8:00 a.m. it’s 23 degrees out with light snow following and a chance of afternoon snow flurries.
We groomed 2W, 8W, 51, 15N, and 6E last night and 15S and 11 early this morning.
We are seeing moderate sled traffic on our trails. In the last 2 weeks, we have had over 5000 sleds go past our trail counter with a total of over 9,000 for the season.
With daily grooming, some more light snow, and colder temps coming, our trails should hold up well for mid-week riding and overall are in good to very good condition.
Look for an updated report on Friday, 1/27.

Area Report:
There has been a recent dusting of snow across the county. Area Clubs & County Staff are continuing to maintain a close eye on trails and their conditions. All of the clubs are reporting the trails to be in great condition for riding. There are some areas and sections of trails getting soft with the recent rain and warmer temps at the beginning of the week. Cooler temps & more snow is in the forecast so the trail base should harden back up and create great riding for the remainder of the season. Please remember to ride with caution and stay on designated trail surfaces. Clubs are out grooming and maintaining the trails on a regular basis so please use caution when you encounter grooming equipment

Snowmobile Information:
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 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.
