Trail Report – : Kenosha County, Wisconsin – December 15, 2023

Reporter:Nick

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Zero

Date of Report: December 15, 2023

Area Report:

The County is experiencing many difficulties caused by construction, land ownership changes and the late harvesting of crops. Combined they are creating trying times. Trails east of the interstate between highway 50 and Cty Rd K are in question at this time. Plan your trip accordingly. The solar farm is in operation and it is imperative that we stay on marked trails. Any violation will cause an immediate closing of this trail.

Areas east of the airport are troublesome as well.  Caution is needed in the area.

The trail to Somers is closed

Trespassing has been a pervasive this past season. This certainly continues to baffle authorities in the Snowmobile Community. Why must some folks continue to violate trail these rules, The onus is on folks.

Stay on trails or stay home !!!!

Another warm up leaving very thin SNOW.  Currently SNOW depth is almost non existent.  But before you START DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE.   You need to THINK COLD.  Temps are still too high.  In the mid 30’s or high during the day. Dropping into the low 20’s to teens at night.  

The club volunteers have just about completed the trail work and was inspected at the beginning of this week.

Todd Bierman, Park & Rec Supervisor has completed trail inspections by truck or ATV/UTV.  So that when we do get SNOW the Vilas County Alliance can take a vote to get the trails open as quick as possible.  The PSA announcement will come from Todd when trails in Vilas are set to open.  NO RIDING BEFORE.

Keep THINKIN’ COLD!  More updates soon!

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – December 12, 2023

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 1-3″ More or less

Date of Report: December 12, 2023

Snowmobile Information:

The temps have been cold the last few days, so at least we are making some ice on the lakes, and firming up the swamps. Not any amounts of snow to brag about yet. It looks to get up to the 40’s in a couple of days, and then highs in the upper 30’s through Christmas. Not an optimistic outlook at this point.

Hornshoe Club will be meeting at the groomer barn tomorrow, to get both of our machines ready to rock. Our trails have been inspected, and are in excellent condition.

I was able to attend the club meeting for Mercer Snow Goers last week. They are looking at upgrading two machines if they can. Another club, same discussions – how do we maintain what we have, or get better equipment? Fund raisers, and lots of volunteers.

I can’t emphasize enough, if you ride a sled, join a club. You get a chance to see what it takes to keep the trails open.

Trail Report – : Pit’s Corner – December 12, 2023

Reporter:Pit Grunt

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 0 trails in Wisconsin closed

Date of Report: December 12, 2023

Area Report:

Well it’s that time of the year. Waiting to get some snow. The lady upstairs is just not going to help us with snow for next couple of weeks. Looks to be a brown Christmas. Hope to keep some cold nights so the swamps freeze and they can make ice at the derby track in Eagle River WI. So for now keep garage riding and getting those sleds ready to go. Hope January turns arounds and we can put some miles on.

See you all on the trails, when snow hits.

We Ride!!! Jeff

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
TRAILS REMAIN CLOSED

First report of the season & it’s a glum one.  Currently SNOW depth is almost non existent.  But before you START DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE.   You need to THINK COLD.  Temps were headed in the right direction until late last week.  Highs have been in the 30’s or higher during the day.  So what light SNOW we had on the ground is nearly all gone. 

In the meantime the club is completing sign updates, brushing & doing plenty of re route.  When the trails open I will expand on the re routes.  This is a year that you definitely should by a new trail map.

Todd Bierman, Park & Rec Supervisor is out doing trail inspections by truck or ATV/UTV.  So that when we do get SNOW the Vilas County Alliance can take a vote to get the trails open as quick as possible.  The PSA announcement will come from Todd when trails in Vilas are set to open.  NO RIDING BEFORE.

Keep THINKIN’ COLD!  More updates soon!
