Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – January 11, 2024

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 4″-5″ on the ground

Date of Report: January 11, 2024

Area Report:

I wish I had better news for our trails here in the Keweenaw. There is very little snow for the clubs to work with as of right now but some clubs have gone out and panned or rolled the trails in hopes to get a good base. They are calling for anywhere from 4 inches to a foot of snow starting Friday through Saturday. This will be our first significant snow fall and hopes to make our trails rideable.

Received a couple more inches last night and there is snow (4-8 inches they say) and cold (below 0) in the near term forecast so we are finally getting some where.

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 10, 2024

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 5”

Date of Report: January 10, 2024

Area Report:

Trails still remain closed. There isn’t enough snow yet to pan the trails. As soon as all 11 clubs in Vilas County agree to open, we will post a date. 

The only work we have been able to do is some trimming and tree clearing on the trails. 

There is more snow in forecast, but looking to be another light amount for us to the north. Cold temps will then come in. This will help with freezing swamps up. Lakes look to be nice shape once trails do open.

Trail Report – : Stephenson County, Illinois – January 10, 2024

Reporter:Skinner

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 3″

Date of Report: January 10, 2024

Area Report:

This is the first report of the year and not good. We had a storm go thru yesterday, the weatherman said we were to get all this wet heavy snow, well we got wet heavy snow but not near what they were calling for. We may have 3″ on the ground (if we’re lucky) so trails remain closed at this time. Here we go again, they are calling for snow tonight and again on Friday and then real cold weather, if it happens we will be able to open trails. The trails will have some chisel plowed fields as we could not use or cultimulcher  due to wet weather and fields being picked very late this year. I will update after this weekend. When we get the snow, the Baymont in Freeport has again given us a snowmobile rate of $80 per night. You can call 815-656-4632 and ask for snowmobile rate (they are on the groomed trail a 1/2 mile from the Jane Addams)
