Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 13, 2025

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 3-5”

Date of Report: January 13, 2025

Area Report:

Vilas County trails remain CLOSED at this time

News and Reports:

Well, it’s a start. We got 3-4” of new snow. The 2 Tuckers went out last night and panned our trails. With the cold temps this should set it up pretty good. If we can get one more decent snow fall, we may be at a point to open. Keep doing the snow dances.

The Trailside roast that was moved to the park was well attended. The Sno-Buddies and Phelps snowmobile club thank everyone that came out to support both clubs.

Tuesday is the club meeting at Club 45. Social at 5:30 and dinner at 6 pm. See you there.

Trail Report – : Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin – January 12, 2025

Reporter:Phil

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Looking better

Date of Report: January 12, 2025

Area Report:

The good news is we received 2-3 inches of heavy snow—not the fluffy lake effect—and it is still snowing. Erika and i rode the Frosty trail system on Friday and determined that we need more snow to open. This snow will definitely help. We will evaluate in the next 24 hours to see how the trails are shaping up. Sure hopes it keeps snowing so that we can get open. The Michigan trails are getting hit hard so it would be great to spread the snowmobiling love around Northern Wisconsin too. Stay tuned and Think Snow!

News and Reports:

Great job by Donna and the Pine Cone staff in putting on a Pancake benefit breakfast Saturday. Thanks to the 62 folks who attended and enjoyed a Great breakfast.

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – January 11, 2025

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Not Ridable

Snow Cover: 3 inches

Date of Report: January 11, 2025

Area Report:

Not much new to report at this time. We received a couple inches of snow yesterday.. but we need at least 10 – 12 inches before groomers will be going out on the trails. The good news is we have a good solid base for when it does start snowing.. it should be good grooming and will hopefully stick around a little longer on those warmer March days.

News and Reports:

Sadly, Winter fest has been canceled due to lack of snow. The event was scheduled for January 18th at the Young’s Recreational Complex. They have decided to host a Smear Tournament instead with live music later in the day.

I’m not really sure if the Free Snowmobile Weekend scheduled for January 17th -19th will do us any good this year…. let’s all hope for a good storm between now and then. It would be nice if Michigan would move the Free Snowmobile Weekend back into February if it doesn’t happen this month.

On a good note… we have good ice with the cold temps starting back in December and carrying over into January. So for all you “Anglers” grab you pole..tip ups and come on up!! The fishing is GREAT!! 🙂

February 15th & 16th, 2025 – Michigan “Free“ Fishing weekend! No permits needed. 🙂

Snowmobile Information:

January 17th -19th, 2025 – “Free” Snowmobile Weekend – Fingers Crossed!!!

Snowmobile permits can be ordered online in advance for the season.. or pick up locally at Holiday & Krist Gas Stations in Iron River, Crystal Falls and Caspian.

Trail maps can be picked up at several local businesses. Such as motels, gas stations and the Chamber office in Iron River.

Check back in with us for any new updates. As soon as we get a good amount of snowfall we’ll let you know!! 🙂

Trail Report – : Lake Gogebic | Bergland, Michigan – January 12, 2025

Reporter:AJ’s Walleye Lodge

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 8+ inches

Date of Report: January 12, 2025

Area Report:

Friday, Jan 10^th

The Lake Gogebic Area has received almost a foot of snow on Friday and we are forecasted for continuing lake effect and a clipper system on Sunday .

Groomers were out Friday night with one machine that covered Trail 1n to White Pine Friday Evening.

Marenisco crews have been out covering Trail 1S from Marenisco to Presque Isle. The base is very thin and there are exposed rocks, gravel and dirt in spots, but is rideable and fairly smooth. The beaver dam that was recently removed drained nicely but left a good size trench so use caution if traveling on this trail.

The grade (Trail 1S and 2 combined) is in good condition.

It is anticipated that groomers will run Saturday and Sunday in double shifts covering all trails in the Lake Gogebic Area with the exception of 8 west which will be covered Monday or Tuesday depending upon how much snow comes in from the anticipated clipper system on Sunday.

Think and be safe everyone!
