VILAS COUNTY TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS TO OPEN AT 9AM!
Early Season Riding with FAIR & some POOR

December 29, 2018 7:34am – 7 degrees- Cloudy

Holy moly!  It’s finally here!  The trails open at 9am!!!

Groomers have been out & nearly all trails in Sno-Eagles Country have been panned.  Thick ice base in some areas.  Thin ice base in other areas.  Most are SNOW covered but remember SNOW on top of ice makes for slippery riding.  Add the Lake Effect SNOW the fell yesterday & best to slow down.  The SNOW base is best in the woods under cover. 4-5 inches of SNOW.  Right through town thinner.

CATFISH LAKE TRAIL & EAGLE LAKE TRAIL ARE NOT MARKED AT TIME.  SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED SAFE.  I’D STAY OFF ‘TIL THEY ARE MARKED.  Will update this report & phone update today if they are marked.  

See ya on the trails!

Currently, the Cable Area trails are closed, as are Bayfield County trails. Groomers will not be out until next week and trails have not been rolled, however forest roads can be traveled on. Expect early riding conditions on forest roads. Riders can also use the stick trails on Lake Owen and Namakagon to navigate the lakes.
 
Swamps are not yet frozen over; experienced riders are welcome to help pack the swamps.
 
We have received 7” of snow in the last 2 days. There is another 3-5” forecasted for Monday-Tuesday next week.
 
Have a safe and happy New Year!

Trail Report – : Superior – Douglas County, Wisconsin – December 28, 2018

Reporter:nikky.farmakes

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 6-8 Inches

Date of Report: December 28, 2018

Area Report:

To get the trail report in an easy-to-read, downloadable format, please to go https://www.superiorchamber.org/recreation/trail-report

*Please note – The Saunders Grade Traill will be closed for the entire 2018/2019 winter season due to significant damage caused by June 2018 flooding.*

The Douglas County region experienced a significant winter storm over December 26-27th.  Due to the widespread nature of the storm, depending on location the county experienced rain (over 1 inch in some areas), snow (up to 12 inches), and/or sleet.  The combination of wet heavy snow and high winds has resulted in a large number of saplings and downed trees blocking trails.  Club members are actively working on clearing these trees but it will likely take several days due to the large quantities of downed trees on the trails.

Where possible, clubs are packing trails with grooming equipment.  However, the trail base is very soft at this time. Trail use is not recommended until the area has experienced a cold spell in order for the trail’s bases to freeze flat for the rest of the season.

Please see the map for which trails are currently open.

We will provide updates as more trails are opened or as conditions change.

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – December 28, 2018

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 2-8 inches

Date of Report: December 28, 2018

Area Report:

Trails in Bayfield County are still currently closed. The much anticipated snowstorm did bring snow to most of the county, but the snow was very wet and there was also a lot of rain mixed in. The ground was wet before the snow fell so we need to be sure the swamps are frozen and safe for travel. Safety of riders is our number one priority. We are gathering information from our local clubs and will open the trails when we know they are safe. There is more snow and cold in the forecast so hopefully we will be able to open the trails soon!
