Snowmobile Report – January 11, 2024
Even though we have received snow it’s not enough to open the Ashland County Snowmobile Trails. We still have alot of wet spots out there that still need to freeze. Be patience more snow is on its way!
Snowmobile Information:
Please stay on the trail. A lot of Ashland County snowmobile trails are on farmers land, please be respectful so we don’t lose our easement to their property. Snowmobiles may not be modified, or operated, to amplify or otherwise increase the total vehicle noise above the originally manufactured snowmobile noise level.

The trails are awesome! Well……………if you feel like just going out and walking around.
If you want to snowmobile, not so much.
We have gone out and done some panning of the little snow we have. This helps to fill the ruts and to create a flatter base that will freeze to make for a better trail system once the snow does arrive.
There is more snow forecast for this coming weekend, but according to the National Weather Service, it’s only going to produce 2-4″ additional inches in this area. Folks, we need an 8″ dumping of wet snow in order to have something decent to work with. And, when that happens, please don’t think we can open trails the next day! The clubs will need a couple days to get things ready.
FYI, Vilas county has 11 snowmobile clubs. In order for the trails to open, all 11 clubs have to be ready to open at the same time. So, even if we had ours ready, we can’t open until everyone is ready. We’ll keep you posted.
In the meantime, you can still come up and enjoy the area. There is so much to do here, even if you can’t ride. We have incredible businesses that are open and ready to serve!

I wish I had better news for our trails here in the Keweenaw. There is very little snow for the clubs to work with as of right now but some clubs have gone out and panned or rolled the trails in hopes to get a good base. They are calling for anywhere from 4 inches to a foot of snow starting Friday through Saturday. This will be our first significant snow fall and hopes to make our trails rideable.
