Trail Conditions: Early Season
Snow Cover: Increasing!
Date of Report: March 13, 2026
Area Report:
Vilas county has announced that trails will officially reopen tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM (Saturday, March 14)!
We are essentially starting from scratch after the springlike weather last week. The new snow has not yet had a chance to freeze to the base, so you will need to ride with caution. Some road routes may still be thin. Expect that corners will not hold snow for long, so they will be icy and very slick! Star Lake is still marked and Plum Lake has been remarked. Please stay close to the markings as there are some homeowners that have aerators near their docks and ice may not be safe.
The winter storm expected over the next two days will likely bring down more trees & branches. Please anticipate that you may come across a few obstacles! We would certainly appreciate your help in getting them cleared from the trail.
The Barnstormers will be out grooming today and tonight so that our entire system will be groomed by opening tomorrow morning. We’ll be continuing with our regular grooming schedule until trails close.
Don’t forget about the drawing to give away a 2025 Polaris 650 VR-1! There is still time to purchase raffle tickets! The drawing will be held at Sayner Pub on Saturday, March 14! Beginning at 11:00 am, there will be food & raffles all day up until the snowmobile drawing at 5:00!!
