Area Report:
Our trail system is open and in fair to good condition. It’s sounding like there is some new snow in the forecast for this coming Friday. Gotta love that new fresh snowfall. 🙂
Temps will be cooling down again after today, good news for grooming. Trail #2, #116, #107 and #15 N are all in good condition. Trail #15 S. and #111 are in fair condition. Chippewa Sno-Kats have been out keeping trails #16, and #113 open and working on trail #18 as well. We have had lots of heavy wet snow this season so far, so please be watchful for any possible newly fallen trees across any of the trails. If you do run across any downed trees… make note of the trail # and report it to the clubs as soon as possible. Thank you to all the snowmobilers who came up this past week to ride. Lots of reports the trails and riding were good!! Such a wonderful sight to see the early snowfall this year!! As “Always” ride RIGHT and watch the corners for incoming sledders.

Snow Cover: 6 – 8″ Base
Date of Report: January 13, 2026
Area Report:
With some of the neighboring southern counties closing their snowmobile trails, we will remain open for time being.
At this time ALL Trails in Washburn County are now officially open. With the recent snow accumulations trails are now packed and groomed and now have a sustainable trail base. Additional snow accumulations have helped the trails out tremendously and grooming reports have been coming in with positive feedback. We have lost some snow with the recent rain and abnormally warm weather, but trails are still in decent shape. All trails across the County are fair in condition. Remember that grooming and maintenance activities continue throughout the season. Use caution while riding, watch for trail equipment, and enjoy the trails responsibly. If you encounter any trail issues such as downed trees, limbs, or debris, please report them to Washburn County Forestry at 715-635-4490.
Please be advised that on 1/1/2026 there was an incident on Long Lake, off of the boat landing on Blackhawk Road. The ice conditions at this time are very poor and a snowmobile broke through the ice at this location while out riding. At this time no trail route is marked out on Long Lake. The County does not have jurisdiction on Long Lake and is not responsible for marking out a trail across the lake, even though certain sections of Washburn County Snowmobile trails lead to accessing Long Lake, Washburn County Forestry does not maintain anything past the high ground point. Please use caution if you are out on any lake as they are not yet 100% safe

Sleet in parts of Eagle River & west. SNOW in parts of Eagle River & east. Then temps will drop. By Sunday the 18th high will be 5 & low 5 below. In between SNOW off & on. Thursday through Saturday best chance for SNOW but only 2-3 inches. Always a chance of Lake Effect SNOW especially east of Eagle River. No evil sun! Trails should be fine.
GTS Tracking shows spot grooming last night. From the groomer barn heading north on 10/13 to Trail 3N to Trail 17N. Heading direction toward Phelps. Also Trail 1 to the Eagle Lake Boat Launch. Does show Trail 10E but it was NOT groomed. Volunteers were doing brushing of low hanging trees & branches.

All Ashland County Snowmobile trails are OPEN. Trails from Marengo north are in GOOD conditions and trails south of Marengo are in EXCELLENT Condition.
When snowmobiling please stay on the trail. A lot of Ashland County snowmobile trails are on farmers land, be respectful so we don’t lose our easement to their property.

Area Report:
BY CONFIRMATION OF THE LANGLADE COUNTY SNOW COUNCIL, ZONE A (North Forest Zone) OF THE LANGLADE COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL SYSTEM, INCLUDING STATE FUNDED TRAILS, ARE SCHEDULED TO REOPEN ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14TH, AT 12:00 P.M. (NOON)
Additionally, the trail segment between intersections 41A and 42B in Zone B will open to snowmobile traffic.
ATVs are not allowed on snowmobile trails until 10 days after the opening of the snowmobile trails and are not allowed on the trails when the temperature is above 28° F. ATVs will be authorized to utilize snowmobile trails on January 24, 2026. UTVs are not allowed on the Langlade County Snowmobile trail system at any time due to the weight and width of the machines.
The Langlade County Snowmobile clubs, sponsors, and operators of the existing trails have put in many volunteer hours brushing, signing, and grooming to provide snowmobile trails for your use. Please support the snow clubs, thank them for their efforts, and patronize their business sponsors.
All lake trails in Langlade County are considered unsafe and should not be utilized until they have been clearly marked by a local snowmobile club. As always, the Langlade County Forestry, Parks & Recreation Department recommends riders stay on clearly marked trails, ride safe, and ride “right”.
The snowmobile clubs spend a considerable amount of time working with landowners to be able to provide the exceptional trail system we have. Please respect private property and the efforts of the clubs to access private property; use of trails across private lands is a privilege. Always exercise caution when riding a snowmobile. The trails are in early-season condition and are variable across the County depending upon snow depth and base thickness.
For questions regarding specific trail conditions, please contact the local snowmobile club or visit their social media accounts, or go to www.langladecounty.org/resources/trail-reports/. You may also contact the Forestry, Parks, and Recreation at 715-627-6300.
We hope that you enjoy the Langlade County trail system this winter. Thank you for supporting the economy and businesses of Langlade County!

Date of Report: January 12, 2026
Area Report:
We haven’t had much new snow to work with, but the trails are holding up. With that work they are signs of snirt in the corners and marsh areas.
All the lakes in the area have been marked. Stay close to the barrels for the best route. Earlier evidence of slush has been frozen and could make rough riding away from the heavily traveled lake crossings.
We could always use some fresh snow, but I don’t think the warm days this week will have a significant effect on the conditions.

Area Report:
Trails in Sawyer County are in good condition. We did receive some additional snowfall over the weekend, approximately 1-3 inches depending on where you were within the County. Further north had more significant accumulations, while the southern part of the County received a little less. Groomers were out all weekend keeping the trails smooth. There is a slight warm-up for the early part of this week, but then a chance of more snow as the upcoming weekend approaches. We will watch the weather, communicate with groomers, and provide an update later this week.

At 8:00 AM it’s 17 degrees out with sunny skies and a high of 35 degrees today. Tomorrow we
will have a high of 36 degrees with a wintry mix followed by a cool down on Wednesday.
We groomed 8E/15S/&11 early Sunday morning, 15N/6E Sunday night and 2W/8W/&51 early
this morning. All the trails are in good to very good condition after grooming but develop some
small moguls by days end.
We have repairs and maintenance work to do on our groomers and probably won’t be out
grooming until Wednesday and then we will be grooming everyday through the holiday
weekend.
This coming Sunday, January 18, we will be hosting our January Breakfast fundraiser at the
Boulder Beer Bar starting at 8:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m… Stop in and enjoy a great breakfast if
