Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: Minimal
Date of Report: February 13, 2025
Area Report:
Mother Nature continues to mostly ignore the northwoods of Wisconsin. Since my report a week ago, we’ve had an additional 3-4″ of new snow (dry & fluffy). It helps, but we sure could use some wet snow! Forecast is for 2-4″ more on Friday – Saturday.
The Barnstormer trail system is holding up quite well. You’ll find some dips here & there that can only be fixed with more snow, but mostly the riding is still really good. With the thin layer on top of the base, please be careful going into corners as the ice can carry you into oncoming traffic if you’re going too fast.
If you happen to be using the Groomer Tracker app, it gives the appearance that the Barnstormers have not been grooming much. I can assure you that we are grooming quite frequently. We currently are trying out two demo machines and they are not yet equipped with GPS, so they don’t register on the GT app.
Remember, there are logging operations on parts of trails 11 & 15 between Escanaba Lake Road and Old White Birch Road. The impact to the trail is minimal, so no reason to avoid. Just remember the loggers have priority over the trails & have the authority to shut them down if you get in their way. Please be respectful of their operations.
