Trail Conditions: Closed
Snow Cover: Minimal
Date of Report: December 13, 2024
Area Report:
The Barnstormers have been busy getting trails ready for opening. We’ve cleared trails of fallen trees & brush. We are scheduled for inspection by the DNR on December 17 (all clubs must have their trails inspected before they are allowed to open). We’ve been out with our roller packing the little bit of snow we have in order to help create a firmer base. Essentially, all we need is for the frost to get a bit deeper and then more snow!
As of today, there is still no set date that the trails will open. Remember, all 11 clubs in Vilas county must be ready as we all open at the same time. Some clubs have a fair amount of swampy areas that need to freeze before they can go through with their equipment. Thankfully, the Barnstormers don’t have swamps to deal with, but we still have to wait until ALL clubs are ready.
Then, we just need snow!! We’ll keep you all posted as things develop.
