Snow Cover: 3-13 inches No New Snow overnight

Date of Report: February 1, 2021

Area Report:

February 1 – 7:42am Currently 14 – High of 30 today – Low tonight 14

Trails on average Fair to Good Condition
GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours
Partial grooming overnight

Groomers were out last night grooming. The “grade” through town, alt13/3S to Three Lakes, 70W to St. Germain and 17S to Sugar Camp were groomed. Suggest buying a Sno-Eagles trail map to help with location of trails.

All in all trails are in pretty good shape. Ranking them Fair to Good. There was a fair amount of traffic this weekend so that impacts them. 10E is snow covered but has a lot of traffic. The section between Bloom Rd & Loon Lk Rd that is tree covered is thin. South to Three Lake is pretty good. West to St. Germain connect on trail 70W & south to Sugar Camp connect on 17S should be better as it was groomed last night. Heading north 10/13N is Fair. Was groomed several times this past week & has improved. 10W & both 7’s are Fair to Good.

Been writing this all season but off trail riding continues to be a problem throughout Vilas county. What this is doing is jeopardizing trail easements & will cause trail section closures. Please once again stay on marked trails.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

ONEIDA COUNTY trails are now OPEN. Report is that all lakes are marked. Be sure to stay be the markers & do not cross an unmarked lake trail.

Three Lakes Trails club was able to get the trails in Forest County they groom open. REST OF FOREST COUNTY IS NOT OPEN

KEEP THINKING COLD & DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!

Reporter:Ryan Strand

Snow Cover: 12-18″

Date of Report: February 1, 2021

Area Report:

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – January 31, 2021

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 4-8″

Date of Report: January 31, 2021

Snowmobile Information:

This morning when I got up there was about 3″ of fresh snow on the ground. Hardly enough to have much of an impact but it was welcomed. I rode with a group based out of Fence Lake area Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Amazing rides for how thin the base is. Hug your groomer operators. They are working miracles with not much material.Trail 17 is thin to OK in spots – a lot of rock picking. Trail 1 up Stearns Lake Road is snow covered, but not a lot loose for lubrication. Fence Lake is well marked and nice riding. Heavier traffic Friday and Saturday, but you can tell people are taking advantage of the heavy snows south. One of our group was due to stay up until Thursday and chose to head home to Beloit to ride his home trails as they got whacked again last night. John Dee is predicting some heavy stuff for next weekend. Lets hope it happens. Wolf

Snow Cover: 5″-10″

Date of Report: January 29, 2021

Area Report:

Forest County Snowmobile Trails will be partially opening at Noon on Friday, January 29, 2021 for the snowmobiling season. Forest County has about 405 miles of state funded trails maintained by five snowmobile clubs including the 100 Mile Snow Safari, Lumberjack Memorial Trails, Black Bear Sportsmen’s Club Trails, Three Lakes Trails and the Tombstone-Pickerel Trails. Only the northern trails will be open. Everything north of Goodman Park Rd to County Rd H to County Rd T to Hwy 32 and west along Hwy 8 w will be open. Everything south of that line will remained closed. Closed trails will be marked with ribbon and/or or “Trail closed” signs, please pay close attention when riding as the closed trails are in dangerous riding conditions.

Snowmobile clubs have been panning the trails and have all trails cleared and signed.

New snowmobile maps are also available for the New Year thanks to sizeable donations by the Sugarbush Snowmowheelers. The donations has resulted in an awesome snowmobile trail map to guide snowmobilers throughout Forest County.

Please remember that the Nicolet State Trail, the Wolf River State Trail, and the Valley Trail are the ONLY snowmobile trails in Forest County that are currently open for ATV and UTV use. The Forest County Snowmobile Trail Ordinance currently prohibits ATV, UTV use and motor vehicle use on all other snowmobile trails in Forest County. Snowmobile trails are “NOT” open for motor vehicle use or hunting. THOSE DRIVING TRUCKS ON TRAILS ARE SUBJECT TO FINES THROUGH THE COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL ORDINANCE.

Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – January 29, 2021

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 2 – 5″

Date of Report: January 29, 2021

Area Report:

All Washburn County Snowmobile Trails are open at this time. Trail conditions are fair with a 3 to 5 inch snow base. Trail conditions do vary right now due to lack of snowfall. A fresh snow is needed to upgrade our conditions from fair to excellent. Lake ice conditions are not completely safe at this time so please ride with caution. Clubs are out grooming the trails, so please aware and watch for active trail grooming and trail maintenance. Fingers crossed for a good snowfall to get the trails in great conditions!

Reported by the Long Lake Chamber of Commerce: The lake was last groomed on January 24th after receiving 2 to 3 inches of light powdery snow.
