Area Report:
We had over 8″ of snow and trails are open and we are just starting to groom as the Jane Addams was done last night and we will be doing other trails starting to day so it should be a great weekend of riding in north west Illinois so make plans to come out and ride with us. PLEASE stay on marked trails if you don’t we will lose them. ‘Please remember to feed the trail boxes as we have cultmulced all our chisel plowed fields and now are grooming and the tractor does like to burn fuel and it is all out of our pocket as our great state is real slow to repay us. AS ALWAYS RIDE SAFE AND ENJOY

Area Report:
Well folks, last night’s snowfall brought us 4″ and all 11 clubs in Vilas county have agreed on a trail opening date of Friday, Jan. 1 at 8am. This is welcome news to so many braapers and local businesses. While we’ve been anxiously waiting for this to happen, it’s important to have a realistic understanding of what the trail conditions will be like.
The Sayner Star Lake Barnstormers panned our entire system last week and again today. Last night’s snow was certainly a good start, but there are still many ruts and holes that will need much more snow to fill. So, please ride carefully and anticipate some rough areas.
Overall, conditions going into the weekend will be fair to good. Expect heavy traffic this weekend to take it’s toll on things. The lakes have varying ice conditions, so be sure to ride only where they have been marked.
Keep up the snow dances and let’s get some more of that white stuff!!

We had a nice snow fall last which will allow us to pan the trails tonight and tommorrow. The Vilas county trail system is scheduled to opn at 8:00 a.m. on Friday January 1, 2021. Please remember that the trails are in very early condition with not enough snow on the ground for normal grooming operations. More snow is needed to fill in ruts and dips on the trail base. Please keep your speed down and ride carefully if you decide to venture out. Hopefully more snow will be on the way. Perferably some wet snow to pack into a good base.Please check back offen for updates on conditions.

Area Report:
Vilas County trails and Frosty Club trails open Friday at 8 AM. MI trails have been open and reports re: the grade from Land O to Watersmeet and then west have been favorable. The Cisco chain from Cisco Bar to Bent’s Camp is marked. Lac Vieux Desert from the west shore boat landing and Sunrise Lodge to Thunder Bay Resort (bar opening 11 am on Friday) is marked. North Twin Lake from both boat landings to Dublin’s is marked.
Trail Boss Rob Spiotto from the Alley has been busting his ass getting the trails ready. The swamp just west of the airport has not frozen and he has dumped a ton of snow in it to try to make a snow bridge. Use Extreme Caution there as it is going to be low on snow, rough, and possible open water. As you get west of there the trail improves greatly.
News and Reports:
Congrats to the snowmobile safety class graduates and many thanks to Melissa, Rob, and Anthony Spiotto for their excellent instruction and thanks to Sunrise Lodge for providing lunch.
