Hello Riders!
Not a super comprehensive report but will just share an update. Yesterday early we had some freezing rain but by late morning it turned into big fat snow flakes. We received a couple of inches. There is more snow forecasted for tomorrow. Groomers were starting to go back out last night after temps dropped and the fresh snow. They will continue to run all week. It is beautiful out there and trails are going to be beautiful! Winter is NOT over!

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – February 28, 2023

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 12-15

Date of Report: February 28, 2023

Area Report:

We received another 7 or 8 inches of snow yesterday… sunshine today! Possible snow again on Wednesday. Trails are being groomed daily as long as conditions remain this good… plenty of snow for grooming right now.

Trails were busy this past weekend with all the new snow from Thursday…. this week and weekend look good for riding… but the days are getting longer and the temps will slowly continue to rise as we go through the month.

Please remember to STAY RIGHT when riding the trails.. slow down for the corners… someone else may be coming around at the same time… and hold the speed down just a bit.. there may be some riders with less experience on the same trails you are riding. 😉

Trails over all are in Very Good Condition.

Very Good – Trail #2, Trail #116, Trail #18, Trail #113,

Good Condition – Trail #107, Trail #16, Trail #111, Trail #15 S.

Trail 15 N. will remain closed for the season between Trail #2 & Trail #111

Again, we thank everyone who has come up this winter to ride our trails.. it was an odd winter with not a lot of snowfall until recently… but currently trails are pretty awesome in any direction you ride up here. Again, we ask that you give the groomer operators enough room when you meet them.. being courteous goes a long way.

On behalf of all the business owners in Iron County and the Lodging Council we would like to “Thank” both snowmobile clubs and groomer operators for doing a wonderful job grooming this year again… especially considering the weather conditions we have had. You all really make a difference in our community and to the riders on the trails. Thank You!!

This report will be updated when conditions change!!

Happy and Safe Sledding Y’all!!

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.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – February 28, 2023

SNO-EAGLES
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Trails Good but very icy underneath

While all the trails in Sno-Eagles Country, Eagle River are on average Good. They are ice based & SNOW covered making them slippery or “fast”. More new SNOW yesterday was wet & packy & looks to be 4+ inches on the trails this morning. Riding when it’s snowing is great. Trails were SNOW filled on Trail 10E except under the tall pines where the SNOW can’t get through to the trail as well. Be aware that road crews are out clearing SNOW. Road crossings have high banks. Plus the heavy SNOW has caused low hanging branches. Very hard to see a head so SLOW DOWN.

As for temps in the 30’s so that will impact the SNOW & conditions. Open areas will soften up & there will be burn through areas. The end of February into March brings days where the sun is out longer. Next SNOW forecast for tomorrow, Wednesday. 1.5 inches forecast.

Touch up grooming last night with the groomer leaving the barn on Trail 10W/13N heading north to the Trail 17N intersection. Heading northeast on Trail 17N to the Trail 3N aka Manske Swamp intersection & back. Limited grooming until the temps drop.

Important info this morning:

When you come upon a group of sleds in front of you on the trail. Passing them can get you in trouble. Saw several groups meet other groups. The entire group passed the group they come upon. Not a good idea. 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!

Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are still marked. SNOW is moguled in sections so SLOW DOWN. Found this on most marked lakes in Vilas County. With the sun today surface slush will form.

THINK COLD!!! Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!

See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 28, 2023

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 6-10″

Date of Report: February 28, 2023

Snowmobile Information:

Hornshoe Trails had 6-8″ of new snow today.The entire trail system was groomed tonight. The snow has some decent moisture content, and seemed to pack down pretty well. Trail 1, Stearns Lake road, has a lot of snow. 17 from Woodruff all the way to Raven Lake is excellent. Raven Lake area with the tight corners has plenty of snow, but the previous snow was blown out of the corners so it was like trying to level out and groom the Bristol Motor Speedway. Since we do not supply Depends, I tried not to soil myself when the tractor had a severe list. (Arr) I did not see evidence that riders are taking the high side on the outside of corners.Trail 5 into the casino is excellent. 17 North from 5 to Powell Lake Marsh is very good. Out in the open by the bridge, there is a decent covering of snow, and the wind has been drifting the snow to give us more to work with. Must have seen 40 sleds tonight – every single one slowed down around the groomer, and were polite, using signals. Lots of waves and thumbs up. No one terrorized the fresh grooming. One girl stopped alongside me, and gave me a big smile, and a thumbs up. Another guy pulled up close, and either prayed for me, or was very thankful for the grooming, with his hands together. Warmer days, but in the teens at night this week. We are a go at throttles up for the week. Mark
