Date of Report: January 23, 2018

Area Report:

We received 6 to 7 inches of new heavy, wet snow yesterday! All three groomers are out there. It may take two or three groomings to get set up well. I will rate the trail as GOOD. However, some areas are VERY GOOD! Hoping that warm weather predicted stays away.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – January 23, 2018

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 7-9″ fresh powder

Date of Report: January 23, 2018

Area Report:

We received a good dumping of approximately 7″ of fresh powder. This is great news for the trail system. The groomers were already out on Monday night, working the trails. They are doing double runs today, and should have the entire trail system in perfect shape by Wednesday morning.

The trails should be awesome in the next few days.
Please stay on the marked trails. It can be very tempting to go off trail and hit the fresh powder, but the ramifications could be severe. We need to keep our landowners happy. Stay on the trails.

This is the time to get out and ride.
Please join a local club. It takes many hours of volunteer time to keep the trails system up and running. The clubs can use all of the support.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – January 23, 2018

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Hard base. New snow of about 6-9. More north

Date of Report: January 23, 2018

Area Report:

ALL SNOWMOBILE TRAILS ARE OPEN & GOOD
NEW WET PACKY SNOW

SNOW starting right after lunch yesterday and continued into last night. This morning it looks like on average about 7 inches of wet packy SNOW east of Eagle River with reports of 9 inches north of Eagle River.

Groomers left in the SNOW last night so have to think trails groomed are really smooth this morning! Trails were groomed west & north. Grooming equipment is not designed to go off trail so stop when you meet the groomers & pull over. Let them go by. Make sure to give them a thumbs up. As riders if we go in & get stuck the groomers can pull us out. Not the same if we had to try to pull them out.

The new SNOW is going to upgrade the trails. For now rating them GOOD until I get out to see them. Will update later today with more info.

Here are a few continuing reminders:

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. Clearly marked with signs.
Wisconsin River Trail – 10W/13N & Manske Swamp – 3N are being groomed off & on. There are rough spots but it is frozen tight. All SNOW covered. Have had no reports of any slush out on either of these trails. This could change with the new snow. Do not leave the trail to be safe.

CATFISH LAKE LOOP & EAGLE LAKE TRAILS ARE NOW BOTH MARKED AND OFFICIALLY OPEN. PLEASE STAY BY THE BARRELS TO BE SAFE. VERY HARD SURFACE. SURFACE SLUSH MIGHT DEVELOP WITH THE NEW HEAVY WET SNOW. REMINDER THE CATFISH LAKE LOOP TO LUMPY’S IS NO LONGER A TRAIL.

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. Holding up well in the warm up.

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

THINK COLD & Keep Dancin’!

Plenty of new SNOW. See ya on the trails!

Snowmobiling Information

Manitowish Waters , Wisconsin - Snowmobiling Conditions & News The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters snowmobile club was founded in 1968 and is one of the oldest snowmobile clubs in existence today in Wisconsin. Located in the very northwest corner of Vilas county, Manitowish Waters borders the Lake Superior snow-belt country. With average snowfalls of 150 inches and over 25 miles of professionally groomed trails, the area is one of Vilas County’s top winter vacation areas.

The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today. Support the club by attending their special events or contributing to the “trail pigs” at local establishments along the trails. Or show your support by becoming a member!

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – January 22, 2018

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 8 to 12 inches In The Woods

Date of Report: January 22, 2018

Area Report:

Middle 30s for temps and traffic took a toll on our trails. They are mostly pretty brown. Thats the bad news. The great news is that it has started to snow in Sayner. Jaxon is here!!! Reports are all over the place with predicted amounts. I don’t even want to pass on what they are saying. What I will say is that even a few inches, once groomed, will bring all of our trails back to excellent!!! Speaking of grooming, we will be out with three groomers tonight – leveling and packing what ever White Gold that Mother Nature brings us!!!

As always, ride with caution and be ready for icy corners. Many corners can start the day snow covered but end up icy with traffic.

Please continue to be cautious on the lakes. The weight of more snow can force the ice down which pushes water up through cracks to form a slush pocket. The slush pockets can come and go.

News and Reports:

There are logging operations in the following locations: Trail 9 between Hwy 70 (TIN 364) and Ross Lake Rd (TIN 225), Trail 7 between Wharton Lake Rd (TIN 218) and Old K (Tin 217), and Trail 7 between Hwy K (TIN 216) and Lake Laura Rd (TIN 214). There is also logging in the Jean Lake Rd area of Trail 7 North, between TINS 227 & 800. That logging should be in the woods off the trail.

(TIN = Trail Intersection Numbers)

Please watch out for these logging areas. Slow down and stay out of the way of the loggers. DO NOT hassle the loggers. They have the right to close down sections of any trail they are logging near or using. If they get hassled too much, that is exactly what they will do – shut that trail down. The logging operations can run at anytime of the day or night. Loggers use some of the trails to drive in and out. So please be watchful in logging areas for trucks on the trail.
