Cold as I write this morning!  Right now the SNOW is hard & frozen, making it very icy & slippery.  That will change very quickly as the temps will pop up to the 20’s by 10am.   May be some SNOW between 10am & noon.  Going to be overcast so even with the temps coming up trails will hold but will get soft.  Starting tomorrow temps coming way up so Ride Now!

GTS groomer tracker shows that Sno-Eagles groomed trails heading north last night:

  • Trail 10W/13N all the from the Groomer Barn to the connect with Conover Sno-Buddie trails.
  • Trail 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Bridge section all the way to the intersection on the west side
  • Trail 10W to St. Germain BoBoen & Sayner Barnstormers connect
  • Trail 13N all the way up to connect with Conover Sno-Buddies trails
  • Trail 17N all the way to Trail 1
  • Trail 1 to the Eagle Lake Trail –
  • Trail 3N all the way to reconnect with 10W/13N

NOTE: Trail 10E heading to Phelps & Three Lakes is not open starting from the Sno-Eagles connect with Three Lakes.  See photo at the right. 

If you ride east take the 9 mile Trail which heads south off 10E.  It’s a US Forest Rd #2437.  It connects with 9 mile road to TL5 & will take you to Three Lakes.

 

 

 

Catfish & Eagle had surface slush yesterday.  Stay by the barrels where it’s stays frozen longer.  If you encounter slush just steady as you go.  Don’t accelerate or slow down.  Could get stuck.

Thanks to the Sno-Eagles drivers & the other 10 clubs for working double time to get trails open in Vilas County.  Another thank you to the Oneida County clubs that were able to open as well.

Ride it while we got it!  See ya on the Trails!!!

With the warm temps during the day trails will get mushy and thin. At night temps drop and trails will freeze so be careful in the morning. Watch for low branches. Lakes are not marked, so ride them at you own risk. 

Trails in Forest Co are closed which means the Upper Kimbell trail (Trail 8)  is closed.  Trail 45 from TIN 107 to TIN is closed. The Trail off of Crystal Lake going to Traven on The Loop is closed due to open water by the boat landing. Trail 13 between Three Lakes and Eagle River is also closed.

Have a great weekend of riding!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – March 7, 2025

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 1-6″

Date of Report: March 7, 2025

Area Report:

At 8:00 am it is 8 degrees out with sunny skies and a high of 31 degrees this afternoon.
After Wednesday’s snow, we have been out clearing trees and branches from our trails and all
of our trails have been groomed and ready for today’s 8:00 a.m. opening.
Because we lost our previous ice base and predicted highs of 37 on Saturday and 48 on Sunday,
the trails will wear out fast with moguls developing in the soft snow and bare spots showing up
along the way.
Best riding this weekend will be early in the morning before it warms up. Our town road routes
don’t have a lot of snow on them and may have bare spots in them.
We don’t anticipate the trails being open beyond the weekend, so get out and enjoy the trails
while you can.
Thanks to all that attended our Cabin Fever fundraising party. It was a huge success.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Trails are OPEN
Late Season Riding
Fair – Good

Anywhere from 8-12 inches of new wet SNOW in Vilas County over the last few days!  ALL of the Sno-Eagles Eagle River trails were panned yesterday & overnight.  Expect all sorts of conditions as you ride.  Remember that the north & west side of roads where trails run burns down first.   1/2+- inch new SNOW Saturday.

Cold this morning, so trails will be hard & icy.  As the day goes on SNOW will soften up & could be a bit squirrelly.  So take it slow.

Have not been out on Catfish or Eagle Lake trails.  With the sun as high as it is surface SNOW will be crusty this morning & soften up as the day goes along.  There may also be surface slush.  Drive straight through it.  Steady as you go.  Please, stay by the barrels & do not assume all lakes are safe!

Thanks to the Sno-Eagles drivers & the other 10 clubs for working double time to get trails open.

Ride it while we got it!  See ya on the Trails!!!

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – March 7, 2025

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 10-14 inches

Date of Report: March 7, 2025

Area Report:

Good morning everyone, well as everyone knows we had quite the snow blow through on Wednesday.  We received lots of heavy wet snow – about 12 inches maybe a little bit more further north. With the storm came lots of wind which did bring down a few trails onto the trails. Thursday was spent cleaning and working on getting the trails cleared from the down trees and today the clubs will start working on grooming again. Please remember, this was a very wet snow fall.. so you may run across water here and there on some of the trails.. but the groomer operators will do their best to groom the new fallen snow.

Today operators will be out on Trail #2, Trail #107, Trail #116, Trail 15 N, and Trail #111 from the junction of 15 N. to Sidnaw. It’s been a long 2 days for these guys so be sure to give Thumbs Up when you meet them and please pull over to the right when riding.

The trails may be a little more narrow with the down trees and heavy snow on the branches.  I’m sure it will be a beautiful riding this weekend. Temps are going back up on Sunday and Monday again.

News and Reports:

Ski Brule – has lots of activities going on all weekend

Keyes Peak Up Hill Truck Drag is on Saturday – Starts at 10:00am in Florence WI

Snowmobile Information:

Grooming will start again today… please remember there may be water in a few places on some trails.. ride right and slow down in the corners. 

Grooming Trails – #2, #107, #116, 15N. and #111 from junction of 15 up to Sidnaw.

Happy Trails to everyone and stay safe out there!!   🙂

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – March 7, 2025

Snow Cover: 8-10”

Date of Report: March 7, 2025

Area Report:

At 8 am, the Vilas County Snowmobile trails will be open. 

Be aware of standing water on the trails. Hopefully some of those water holes froze over last night. We cleared down trees and cut back some leaners on our trails

Some lake trails barrels have been pulled already, so if it isn’t marked, don’t cross it. And all lakes can have a soft/water along the shore line. 

As the sun comes out, it will soften the trail base snow and it can push off corners easily. 

We will be checking trails and possibly grooming at night this weekend.
