Area Report:
The trails will not be opening on the 12th. First – there is not a sufficient amount of snow on the ground. Second – there are still 3 to 4 clubs’ systems that need to be inspected and pass. The inspection process has been hampered by wet & muddy conditions. What really hurt was a couple weeks of unseasonably warm temps. Yesterdays high was 50. The somewhat good news is that the temps dropped starting last night. Daytime temps are mostly supposed to stay down in the teens with the exception of this coming Sunday when it is forecasted to get up to 32. Then, right back down again. The Barnstormers do not have any swamps on our system but most of our fellow Vilas County clubs do. We badly need these sustained cold temps to freeze these swamps. I know everyone is anxious to hear that we have gotten some great snow. However, if we get too much snow before these swamps freeze; it will hinder and delay them from freezing.
Please stay tuned. I will update you on a new target opening date as soon as one has been determined. Pray first for cold temps. Then bring on the white gold!!!
