We received about 4″ of new snow yesterday.  Temps will be in the teens on Friday and Saturday with a chance of snow on Saturday.  Sunday will only be in the single digits for temps.

Please when you see the groomers please pull over they have the right of way!

Please stay on marked trails riding on unmarked trails can result in the clubs losing easement for that trail.

Gogebic Range Trail Authority Groomer Report  January 20, 2022

All GRTA trails are being groomed tonight.  11S was groomed last night into this morning and is being missed tonight, good powder ride for tomorrow though! Trails have improved dramatically with a day and a half of steady snow. We have a few more days ahead and cold temps along with three groomers running every night.

Gogebic Area Groomers Report  January 10, 2022

Trail Report – : Rice Lake & Barron County, Wisconsin – January 20, 2022

ricelake_newbanner

Reporter:Jody

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 6-8 inches

Date of Report: January 20, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

More than 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails lace Barron County, including the popular Tuscobia State Trail with 76 miles heading east from Rice Lake to Park Falls; the Wild Rivers Trail heading north from Rice Lake’s city limits leads 97 miles to Superior.

 

Barron County snowmobile and ATV trails remain closed. We’ve received approximately 8 inches of light snow, however it hasn’t provided a reasonable base to create sustainable snowmobile trails. Hopefully additional snow will arrive in the coming days and allow us to open the trails for the season.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – January 20, 2022

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Hard thick base – 15-16 total snow

Date of Report: January 20, 2022

Area Report:

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
ON AVERAGE GOOD

January 20, 2022 – 7:50am 6 below – High of 8 today

After the SNOW yesterday the temps dropped to single digits & below zero last night.  On our way home from a Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance there was some Lake Effect SNOW.  Not much maybe 1/2 inch.  Going to be cold until late next week.  With SNOW tomorrow night. 

The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows a shorter grooming session last night.  Picking up the trails they didn’t catch on Tuesday night. All trails are in GOOD shape. Switch up this morning.  Here are the trails that were groomed last night.

  • Trail 10W13N heading north from the Groomer Barn located across the Hwy from the Derby Track all the way to the connect with Conover.  No grooming from Hwy G crossing to where the trail comes out on Adams Road
  • Wisconsin River bridge crossing of Trail 10W/13N
  • Trail 13N heading north to the Bauer’s Dam area which is Buckatabon Road & Lake

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & are open. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels.  Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN at this time.   

Trails everywhere in Vilas County are on average GOOD condition.  The new SNOW covered the areas that were showing snirt.  Wet SNOW followed by deep freeze temps with grooming in between sure made some great trails. Even the blow outs are pretty much taken care of.  No problem areas that we found anywhere. Next ride Friday or Saturday.
                                                                    
Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions.  Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com 

Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!  Never enough SNOW!

See ya on the trails!!

Trail Report – : Sugar Camp, Wisconsin – January 19, 2022

Reporter:Matt Winters

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 18″-22″

Date of Report: January 19, 2022

Area Report:

For the most part our trails are in good to excellent condition. After last weekends heavy traffic they took a beating but held up reasonable well considering the amount of traffic. Expect to encounter a few icy corners and maybe a few light choppy spots but nothing out of the ordinary after a busy weekend. We were finally able to get our equipment thru the last stubborn swampy patch that didn’t want to freeze. The lakes are frozen quite well but expect to encounter some heavy drifting. Be safe and have fun.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – January 19, 2022

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 6-8″

Date of Report: January 19, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

Fence Lake Trail is still closed as of today. With the cold temps tonight, we will see what happens with our slush areas. Groomer Tom reported 17 North from H to the Powell Marsh is in good condition. Caution is advised out in the open tundra where the wind whistles down the plain. Trail 5 into the casino is good. Groomer Scott reported 17 south from H to Woodruff is in good winter driving condition. A few thin spots – especially fore and aft of the bridge, but the minimal snow we had has had a positive effect. Trail 1 north, Stearns Lake Road, and Boundary Trail, has a thin ice covering, but enough sleds are mooching snow off of the banks that the edges have adequate base for slides and cooling. We ran that back from Gooches Sunday, and it was OK before the snow Tuesday. Cold temps tonight should help. Dress warm, and ride safe. Mark

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – January 19, 2022

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 4-6 inches

Date of Report: January 19, 2022

Area Report:

 

Conditions across the county are varied. Good news first, the north central part of the county has gotten quite a bit of lake effect snow and trails are in great condition. Groomers are reporting that their trails are in excellent condition in the north. Not so great new second, the southern part of the county is hurting for some snow. There has been heavy traffic (which we love to see!) and not a lot of fresh snow so the trails are suffering. Trails are rideable but there may be exposed rocks, so ride with caution. Just a reminder to all to please respect private landowners and stay on the trail. Stay on the trail or stay home!

 

Some trouble spots to note:

  • The Wally Polk Trail/Trail 40 near Port Wing and Herbster is closed. Flag road is a suitable re-route.
  • Trail 1 to Red Cliff/the Casino is temporarily closed due to a landowner issue. We have a reroute, just waiting for one more landowner permission. We will update as soon as we have it.

 

Namakagon Trail Groomers: NTG ~ All trails were groomed 1/16 & 17. We have a 2-4″ base. Some areas have rocks exposed. Trails are fair to good condition. We NEED snow ~ please start dancing!! 🙂

 

Barnes Barnestormers: Due to the lack of snow, high traffic and warm temperatures I’m downgrading the Barnes trails as poor to good. The trails around town are mostly snirt and gravel. They are better as you head north, with good snow on trail 18 and north. The south end of trail 31 going to Sawyer County is poor, with little snow coverage. We will continue to groom what we can, hopefully more snow coming.

 

Washburn Valhallers: All Washburn area trails in addition to the Moquah Spur will be groomed for the weekend.  This added snow helped so all trails should be in great shape for the weekend.  

 

South Shore: South shore trails will be all groomed by Thursday and in good shape, need more snow by the lake. Trail 3 and 66 are in very good condition.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – January 19, 2022

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Minimal

Date of Report: January 19, 2022

Area Report:

Not much has changed from last week’s report.  We did receive about 3″ of new snow in the past couple days, but it was lacking moisture.  It helps, although we really need some heavy wet snow that will stick on the trails.

Most of our trails remain flat with minimal snow cover.  The worst section is the 2 mile stretch coming into Sayner from the south.  This gets hit extremely hard with traffic and is impossible to keep smooth.  Overall, though, you’ll find many miles of great riding in the Barnstormer’s system.  Just be very cautious of the corners as they are icy.

Please support all of the clubs by participating in their fundraisers!  Here’s a list of what’s coming up for the Barnstormers.  You can also get more info at http://www.saynerbarnstormers.com.
