Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – February 5, 2018

Reporter:tpeters

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 34″ to 48″

Date of Report: February 5, 2018

Area Report:

Brrr, it’s cold!! And we have some nice fresh snow. Not quite as many riders in town this week. Not much new to report. All trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open and being groomed round the clock. Looks like temps will stay in the high single digits to low teens, with the nights being cold. Also a few inches of snow for the next few days too. The snow will keep the trails up. The weekend will be busy in town, with the MTU Winter Carnival starting Wednesday.

Respect private property and others on the trail, slow down, speed kills, stay off all ice, and save the drinking for after the riding.

Happy Trails

Tammi the Trail Goddess!

Heavier totals to the north. 3-4″ is forecasted for today and another 2 rounds later this week. Stay tuned for updates as our conditions continue to change.

Trails are in VERY GOOD condition!

We received 6 to 8 inches of fresh snow over the weekend. Even though there was a lot of traffic, the trail/base held up very well. A few stretches are thin, but very rideable.

Groomers will be out throughout the week. The cold weather will also help hold the trail together.

I expect to see you all up here riding. Trails are great.

Thanks…

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 5, 2018

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12 inches

Date of Report: February 5, 2018

Area Report:

Trail report for February 5, 2018, Good condition. Over the weekend we received a few inches of snow and help freshen up our trails. There was a lot of traffic over the weekend. Our Groomers were out and able to lay out a nice flat trail. It is very cold this morning about -12 Below. It is expected to stay in the low teen for the highs and snow is probable towards the end of the week. We still have a very thin base and corners are bare and icy. The active logging areas still have very little snow. With the continued snow and cold will help thicken up our base. Mark your calendars for February 18^th. We will have a Snowmobile Club fundraiser breakfast at the Headwaters. It’s a great breakfast so please support us. It’s less than two weeks away! Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – February 5, 2018

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Hard ice base – Plenty of snow on the trails

Date of Report: February 5, 2018

Area Report:

TRAILS FAIR TO GOOD

Cold morning in Eagle River this morning. 12 below zero at 7:50am. High of 12. Sun will be out today. With cold temps shouldn’t do much harm to the trails. Trails riding is great! Time to get out and ride!

Trails are very icy under the SNOW. With the new loose SNOW on top you will notice the back end of your sled slipping around. So slow down to be safe. Corners everywhere are icy. Some covered with SNOW. Others blown out with high berms so slow down so you can stay on your side. Stay on the right side always.

It was a very busy weekend. The Groomer Drivers had their work cut out for them all weekend. Grooming continued last night and the tracking systems shows these trails groomed:

3S(formerly Alt13
10E
Grampa Grahm(1)
Chanticleer (1)
10W/7
70W/13S
17S
Paintball Field(7)
Grade through town

The sled traffic over the last few days was very high. Many large groups. Lots of families. Noticed many rental sleds out on the trail too. Enjoying a first taste of riding in Eagle River, THE SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD® Not many places you can go where you can park your tow vehicle. Hop on your sled going everywhere you want without having to use that tow vehicle for your entire stay!

Here are a few continuing reminders on the trails:

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. Right now there are logs in piles along sections of the trail. With the log piles and icy grainy conditions in that section it would be good to slow down. Very icy corners.

CATFISH LAKE LOOP & EAGLE LAKE TRAILS ARE NOW BOTH MARKED AND OFFICIALLY OPEN. PLEASE STAY BY THE ORANGE REFLECTIVE BARRELS TO BE SAFE. REMINDER THE CATFISH LAKE LOOP TO LUMPY’S IS NO LONGER A TRAIL.

Yes the Ice Castle is still up! If you are riding zip on over to the “grade” to check out the 2018 Eagle River Area Fire Department ICE CASTLE!!!! Located adjacent to the downtown “grade” trail by the Historic Railroad Grade. The lights installed change colors. Ice benches as part of the Castle let you take photos of your group. Check out this link Eagle River Ice Castle to check out a video of the Ice Castle building. Warm did do damage to the turrets of the Castle. Good the cold is back.

Next on the Winter events schedule is the 13th Annual LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey set for this weekend, February 9-11 on Dollar Lake east of Eagle River. Check out the is link LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey for info.

Keep Dancin’!

See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – February 5, 2018

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 3-5″ hard base – loose fresh snow

Date of Report: February 5, 2018

Area Report:

We received 5″ of fluffy white gold over the weekend. The groomer drivers were out in full force putting the machines to work. The trails are in good to very good condition. The only thing holding back the overall rating is, the fact that there are some icy corners. The fresh snow helped tremendously to fill in the holes and uneven trail base. If you have the ability to take a mid-week ride, you will not be disappointed.

This is the time to get out and ride.

With the lack of a good trail base in the southern part of the state, the snowmobile traffic in the Northwoods has been huge. Please be safe out there and look out for fellow snowmobilers. Keep to the right side of the trail.

Trail Report – : Neillsville, Wisconsin – February 4, 2018

Reporter:Neillsville Granton Trailbusters

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 2-3″ Base

Date of Report: February 4, 2018

Area Report:

All Clark County Snowmobile Trails are OPEN. The Neillsville-Granton Trailbusters trails are currently rated in Fair condition at this time, with Corridor 25 between Granton and Hatfield having the least amount of base. Trails in the northern part of the county have the most snowcover.

Snowmobile Information:

Our club has been active for 30 years now. We started out as a small club in 1988 named The Neillsville Rec Riders, designing ATV routes that accessed the Clark County Forest Trail System, via roads. We then created our first cross county ungroomed snowmobile and winter ATV trail system from Neillsville to Granton. In 1993 we purchased a used Bombardier groomer to start grooming our trail for snowmobiling. In 1996 we expanded our snowmobile and winter ATV trail system from Neillsville to the Clark County Forest Trail near Hatfield.

In 1997 we added a tractor and new drag to our grooming fleet to keep up with the grooming schedule. In 1999 we further expanded our growing trail system with a snowmobile trail running from Granton to Sherwood. In 2001 we made a big achievment in trail devolpment by creating a snowmobile trail from Neillsville to Loyal, giving us a total of 56 miles in groomed snowmobile trails across private lands. In 2002 we had to add a second tractor and drag to keep up with the high grooming demand. After receiving heavy, drifting snows during the ’06-’08 seasons while continuing to get stuck with our tractors, we felt the need to add a newer tracked groomer to our fleet.

We purchased a Piston Bully trailer groomer to keep up with the demanding trail grooming where our tractors fell short, in deep snow and eliminated 1 tractor and drag! We groom our trails 20′ wide where ever possible and they are the best marked in the county, you won’t get lost on our trail system! In 2010, we had to cease the operation of winter ATV use on all of our snowmobile trails, due to increasing abuse from disrespectful ATV’ers creating problems on private lands. Moving forward in 2011 we strive to keep up with the best snowmobile trails in the county and that is out main focus moving on. Upgrading in 2017 we purchased a 2007 Pinoth BR180 tracked groomer to supplement and someday replace out Piston Bulley.

The Clark County Forest ATV and Snowmobile Trails are maintained by the Parks and Forest Department as well as the 9 other clubs that maintain the rest of the trails in Clark County. Our club would not be where it is today without the help and permission of the 89 landowners who allow us to cross their lands. With out them we would have no trails. All of our members that help out, donate their time and it is much appricated when we get compliments on how well of a job we have done.
