Riding is still sketchy. Recommend downloading the Vilas County MapIt trail app. It gives you the 3 digit emergency numbers & trail locations throughout the County. Be sure to turn on gps function on your phone to show you where you are on the trails.

Here are some important updates:

Trail 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Bridge Trail is Closed Effective Immediately

There is 1 logging operations going on where there is a need to use parts of the trails. Trail 13N by Deep Lake Rd. Plus utility work on 7 near Sugar Camp on the high line.

The snowbanks at driveway crossing & road crossings will be even higher after crews get out to do road clean up. Clean up continues & expect some blocked road & driveway crossings. Please stop & cross with caution.

As trails get cleaned up trail signs will be buried in deep SNOW. It will take clubs throughout Vilas County time to unbury or add post extensions to the existing signs.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. With that said the SNOW will be way deep & will have drifts.

The 2 one-way trail areas are 10E from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart. The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area. Please be aware that for now signs will be buried in many locations. PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK A MAP SO YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF THESE TRAILS.

Let’s give the grooming crew the time to clean up. Give ’em 2 thumbs up!

Date of Report: February 26, 2019

Area Report:

After a blast of frozen weather and a fierce blizzard, our trails have been groomed to good to excellent condition. New snow from this weekend’s storm along with high winds have created drifts that have opened up new areas. By all indications, this is the most snow on the ground we’ve had in several years.

Remember trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. Ten inches of snow compresses to less than an inch on the trail.

Sault Ste. Marie to Brimley, Trail #8 –

Base 4 8 inches -Trail is in Good to excellent Condition.

Brimley to Raco, Trail #8 –

Base 4 – 9 inches -Trail is in good to excellent Condition.

Watch for trail change going south just before getting to Raco.

Base 4 – 10 inches – Trail is in good to excellent Condition. Trail change just east of Salt Pointe Rd. Moved trail out of twisty section back to old straight route, about 2.5 miles. Different trail just east of Raco going to M28

Sault Ste. Marie City Trail, Trails #497, #449, parts of #8 & #49 –

Base 4 – 7 inches – Trail is in good to excellent condition

We now have a marked trail going to Chippewa Motors. It starts once you come out of the woods east of M-129 off #449. It comes into their parking lot from behind if you need parts or service.

City curfew is from 1 am – 6 am. Remember most City streets are open to traffic 20 mph, stop at all intersections, and ride on the righthand side of street not on sidewalks. Watch for closed streets that are posted, mainly around the hospital, university, and state trunk lines.

Sault Ste. Marie to Kinross, Trail #49 –

Base 4 – 7 inches – Trail is in Good to excellent Condition.

Make sure you follow reroute once you cross bridge going south at 7 Mile Road.

When the trail is running along roads make sure you go with the flow of traffic on the right side of the road.

Kinross loop & south to Pickford, Parts of Trail #49, #472, and #494 –

Base 2 – 6 inches – Trail in good to excellent Condition. Watch for trucks on the trail.

Kinross to Raco & Rudyard, Parts of trail #472 & #480 –

Snowmobile Trail Conditions

NorthWoods Hi-Riders 2/26/2019
Who would believe that we would get more snow than what we could groom, but some drifts are so big and deep the groomers are getting stuck. We are 1 day off our regular grooming schedule but are working to catch up as quickly as possible. We should be all caught up in a day or so, but in the meantime if you want to go “boondocking” down some of the trails now is the time. Watch out for “snow suck” along the sides of the trails. More snow coming! Enjoy.

Sno Gypsies 2/26/2019
The trails have many areas that are drifted over. Please be careful if you are out riding. Many sledders are getting stuck off trail. The groomers are not able to pull the drags right now but are out with the groomers plowing and opening the trails up. We will continue to get the trails back to the great conditions as soon as we can.

With all the new snow and more coming our trails are all in good to excellent condition. The groomer is out everyday working to provide the best trails possible. Our groomer does run day and night so always be aware and ride with caution in the wooded areas and areas with blind corners. Spring is only 4 weeks from today so get out and enjoy the great trails in all of Price county. As always ride safe and have fun.

Fifield Sno Drovers 2/20/2019

All trails are in excellent shape and IT’S SNOWING! The trails have all been groomed, smooth and fully covered with snow. Now is the time to ride!
Logging continues on Trail 120 south of the big swamp and Fould’s Creek Rd and on Trail 108 between Trail 101 and highway 70. PLEASE TAKE IT SLOW IN THESE AREAS! The loggers report that some snowmobilers have been driving too fast around the logging equipment. We’ve put up additional warning signs, but safety is up to you. We don’t want any of you to become statistics, so go slow and beware of ice where the trails have been plowed.

EAGLE RIVERS TRAILS
POOR to GOOD
Working to rehab trails & open up drive & road crossings

February 26 2019 7:50am – 14 below – High 12

Winter cold temps are back. Tonight 1-3 inches of SNOW & another 1 or so tomorrow morning.

As the area recovers from SNOWMAGADON the groomer drivers are working double duty. This amount of SNOW on the trails turns grooming into trail rehab. Large drifted area, high snowbanks, blocked crossing. Long days working on the trails. A BIG THANK YOU!!!

Yesterday trails 10E, 13N, Manske Swamp aka 3N, 17N, 17/7/13S, 3 aka 13alt reported by Trail Boss as groomed.

Riding is still sketchy. If you decide to ride be prepared as it is also cold. Charged phone & consider downloading the Vilas County MapIt trail app. Layer clothing. Stop more often for warm drinks. Let someone know where you are going.

Here are some important updates:

Trail 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Bridge Trail is Closed Effective Immediately

There is 1 logging operations going on where there is a need to use parts of the trails. Trail 13N by Deep Lake Rd. Utility work on 7 near Sugar Camp on the high line.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. With that said the SNOW will be way deep & will have drifts. So expect dangerous conditions. Might be best to stay off.

Let’s give the grooming crew the time to clean up.
