Trails remain closed at this time. We received 5-7” of snow throughout the county. We have our groomers out panning what they can and we are inspecting trails.

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.
Be sure to take advantage of our two upcoming fundraising events!

Date of Report: February 13, 2025
Area Report:
We have good news bad news, first the good news we did receive between 4 to 6 inches yesterday, but the bad news is there was no moisture in it so first sled thru blows it right to the dirt. The weatherman is saying we are to have more snow Friday night into Saturday, and this is to have some moisture to it. We are on hold to OPEN trails until the weekend so just hang in there and we will let you know.

Area Report:
Went for a ride yesterday and put 70 miles on. We went from Conover, thru Phelps and into Forest county. All trails were fair to good. Some thin areas but was all groomed as flat as it could be. A little more snow and all the clubs can fill in the few dips.
Conover was groomed last night. This was the first time this season I was able to groom quicker. That means the bumps weren’t that bad, I could do some trails with one pass. I don’t know if it was less traffic so far this week, or the real cold temps we had froze in that base nicely. Either way, they turned out good.
We got a dusting to 1” of fresh snow yesterday and more in the forecast for Friday into Saturday.
News and Reports:
Trail 12 from the RR grade TIN 732 to County K TIN 731 has ruts from ATVs. There isn’t enough snow to fill the ruts. We put signs at each end of the trail for Caution Next 1 mile and Rough Trail. Use caution when traveling this area.
The Cemetery Trail from TIN 724 to TIN 725, and south to TIN 727 at Church Rd is thin for snow cover. You will find a few bare spots, There is a hill between TIN 725 and TIN 726 at Lindberg Rd that was bare from sleds going up it. The swamp area did freeze up, so it is good to go.
To see where the Groomer is at, check out Groomer Tracker Half the cost of the app comes back to Conover Sno-Buddies to support grooming operations.
