We’ve got the cold and we need the snow!! The Ashland County snowmobile Trials remain CLOSED due to lack of snow!

Snow Cover: 6″ base
Date of Report: January 21, 2025
Area Report:
It’s been bitter cold the past 3 days and snowy. So far I’ve recorded 17″ in those three days putting us at a total of 171″ for the year here in Toivola. The groomers have been out hitting most of the trails every night. However with such high traffic on the weekends it’s real hard keeping them flat.

Area Report:
At 8:00 am it is -21 degrees out with sunny skies. We have a slight warm up coming mid-week
with no significant new snow in sight. Well, opening weekend is in the books and the trails help up surprisingly well despite the lack of snow. Overall, they are in pretty good shape for this time of the year.
We groomed 15N last night and it is in good shape. Our groomer driver reported we have very
little snow to pull unto the trails to freshen them up, but they are flat and smooth. We will need
more snow to get them in great shape.
Thanks to all that supported us at our fundraising events this weekend, food sales at Wittig’s Ice Fishing contest and the snowmobile breakfast at Boulder Beer on Sunday morning. They were both a huge success.
Look for an updated trail report on Thursday, January 23 .

Been a long time since I could say we had a GREAT weekend riding the Frosty Club trails. YES we could use more snow but at least we are open and I think most folks enjoyed there time on the sleds. The groomers have been out every night doing there best out there. Thins aren’t great and there is ice so please slow down and BE SAFE.

Snowmobile Information:
Sunday Update. -17 This morning and sunny. Friday’s 38 degree temps with low traffic gave us a perfect storm. The puffy snow got warm, picked up moisture, then froze. Overall our trails are early season to good. F Trail from Gunlock to 47 is sorta bumpy, with some dirt showing in spots, but good. 17 from Mattke Rd to East Boundary is thin where the sun got at it so gravel is poking up but overall pretty good. East Boundary all the way to H is great. Club trail from H down to 47 is rutted, so stay in the center. From 47 down to Moss Lake is good. Farther down to Crawling Stone good. Keep going toward Fence where you link up with Thorofare is a little suspect where the construction was. Back up to 17 where it picks up at H – very good into the Raven.Raven Lake area was very good in the new construction area. 5 into the Casino needs some work. Truck ruts, but perfect if you stay in the middle.17 north from 5 good all the way to the tundra in the Powell Marsh, then you can see it’s thin. I called no Joy and came about at that point yesterday. Overall I was very pleased with what we have working with not a lot. I had lasagna with the Cruisers Friday night. Very good, and I joined the club. A special thank you to Cruisers for the use of their Piston Bully after Hornshoe 1 got a sore stomach last week. I also had a great breakfast with Mercer Snow Goers Club yesterday, and Matt and Renee and I are headed to Boulder for breakfast this morning. Our lakes are in great shape. Big heaves on Fence, and some smaller heaves on Crawling Stone. We will be marking lakes Friday, January 24. Pretty cool, I was able to cut and paste yesterday’s report, then edit for today. Now Mary wants me to send her this link to post on Facebook and our website. Cut, paste, post, link. That is a lot of technology for a guy that still can’t color inside of the lines with his crayons. Be safe my friends. Mark

It is 8 degrees right now, and overall our trails are early season to good. F Trail from Gunlock to 47 is sorta bumpy, with some dirt showing in spots, but good. 15 from Mattke Rd to East Boundary is thin where the sun got at it so gravel is poking up but overall pretty good.

Area Report:
Went out Friday morning to see how the trails were doing. Some trails had enough snow to ride on, others were getting bare in the middle. Overall, I would rate them as Fair. I got home aound 11:30am and the temp was 37 degrees. The sun did peek out for a bit. The county roads have been plowed and sanded, so the roads are bare to the shoulder. Town roads still had some snow cover on them yet.
Most lakes are marked, stay near the barrels when crossing.
North Twin Lake is marked, but has a 3′ (Yes, 3 foot) ice heave in the middle of the lake. They found about a 40′ area to safely cross so you need to stay near the barrels, and SLOW down.
Lower Buckatabon Lake was marked. There is an ice heave closer to the Deer Path end of the lake. Stay near the barrels and slow down
Pioneer Lake is marked.
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.
The temps are going to drop all day on Saturday to negative numbers. If you are riding on Saturday thru Tuesday, dress for the cold temps. Temps rise on Wednesday to a high of 18 degrees.
