Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 20+

Date of Report: December 13, 2021

Area Report:

Monday, December 13 – First, let’s talk about what everyone wants to know … When are the trail’s opening?  NO official date has been set yet.  When it is, the Vilas County Supervisor will send out the official notification.  A few things have to happen first.  All 11 snowmobile clubs are meeting Wednesday night to discuss the current condition of the trails and warm-up this week.  The clubs meet and vote on the opening date,  they then let the county know what their thoughts are. The Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club  is doing an amazing job building a base and grooming the trails.  So when we get the official word, we are ready to go!  Right now it is important to remember the trails are NOT open.  As soon as we know the official opening date and time we will pass along the information.  Until then, feel free to contact us and request this year’s snowmobile map and keep an eye on our webcam to see current snowfall in Boulder Junction.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – December 13, 2021

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 6-9 inches of snow

Date of Report: December 13, 2021

Area Report:

Late last week and over the weekend we received some much-needed snow!  Clubs are starting to pack swamps, but grooming operations have not yet begun and lakes have not been staked.  We have some warm weather in the forecast this week and are hoping to preserve as much snow as possible.  A cool down late this week and into the following will certainly help get the lakes set up.  Be sure to check back often as conditions change and we will keep you updated with the latest snow reports.  We can’t wait to see you in Sawyer County and the Hayward Lakes Area!

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – December 12, 2021

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 37 inches

Date of Report: December 12, 2021

Area Report:

As of today I’ve recorded 37 inches total snow fall in a little over a week. Monday westarted grooming some of our trails here in the Keweenaw. I started grooming Houghton to Toivola and they are shaping up real good for early season. From Hancock north we have groomed some of the trail system but we have a couple spots still closed to logging. 

Bad news is we are in the 40’s today through Thursday with lots of sun. We have enough snow but it will settle some before we get back in colder weather. 

Keep in mind the bridge is still closed to snowmobile traffic until after December 20th.  Also trail 122 and 3 north of Phoenix just opened today so give the groomers a little time to work their magic. The trail between Eagle Harbor and Eagle River ( Eagles Loop) is still closed to logging and I do not have a time schedule yet. Last our trail 133 was given back to us after 4 years of logging and we are currently trying to get it open to snowmobile traffic. 

It’s early season riding so ride with caution especially on those trails that just opened.
