Trail Report: Oconto County, Wisconsin – February 2, 2017

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 5-9

Date of Report: February 2, 2017

Area Report:

Townsend – Red Arrow Snowmobile – ATV Club – The trails groomed out beautifully last night. With the new fallen snow (3″-4″) and the colder weather the trails are in GOOD TO VERY GOOD riding condition. They look like they froze down nicely. It’s cold out again and the trails should hold up well. Just remember that under that fresh snow is some ice, so be careful.

Lakewood – Paul Bunyan Snowmobile Club – The Lakewood area got about 2 inches of fluffy snow with a little more coming down. Later today the groomers will be out getting the trails back in shape. Remember there is a lot of ice under the fresh powder.

Bagley and Brazeau – Joyriders Trails -Trails are back open on Feb 1st at 7am. They are in good condition but there is a problem on the Butler Springs trail. Logging has been taking place on Butler Springs Rd and will continue for the next few weeks. The loggers removed most of the snow on the trail. Since it has snowed the groomer drivers have been out on this trail trying to re-groom it. We don’t know if the loggers will come back and take off the new snow that has recently fallen. If you are familiar with the ATV trail that runs next to the snowmobile trail, through Butler Springs, you, can use this trail. If we continue to have a problem with keeping it groomed, we plan to start grooming the ATV trail. Also we have problems grooming in other areas with thin ice. On the Pipeline and a few other areas the ice is to thin for the groomer to groom but safe for snowmobiles to ride.

Gillett Sno ATV Riders – Trails are open and in poor to fair condition.

Chute Pond Snowmobile Club – Chute Pond trails are open, and grooming on a regular basis. Our trails are in good condition, with an icy base- which with normal traffic gets exposed in and around the corners.

Please be aware that the groomers may be out day and night as needed to keep the trails in shape. Please watch out for the groomers, and give them space when you see them.

Expect a few rough and bare spots, possibly some standing water and slushy spots, and probable icy areas, especially near the corners. Please ride with caution- and stay on the marked trails. Enjoy your ride.

Oconto Falls – Sno Jokers Trails – Trails are CLOSED.

Lena Snow Drifters – Trails are CLOSED.

Chase Sno-Chasers – Trails are CLOSED.

Trail Report: Bayfield County, Wisconsin – February 1, 2017

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 6-12″

Date of Report: February 1, 2017

Area Report:

Some much welcomed fresh snow fell on all of Bayfield County early this week. Our groomers are back out in full force getting the trails in shape for the weekend. The fresh snow is sitting on top of ice and many areas of the county. Expect varying trail conditions ranging from good to poor. Trails are generally rideable with some icy, slushy, and bare spots. Trails in open areas/fields have very little to no snow cover. Use caution for exposed rocks, wet areas and icy conditions as trails are still recovering from the warmer temperature.

Under normal circumstances, winter ATV use is permissible only on snowmobile trails that are also ATV trails in the summer. The warmer temperatures have created wet, sensitive and highly variable trail conditions. As a result, ATV use has the potential to damage the system and create additional problems when colder temperatures return. Until further notice, all ATV use is prohibited on the snowmobile trails. This includes tracked or wheeled ATVs and UTVs. However, ATV use is still allowed on the Tri-County Corridor and Town Road routes.

We’ve opened back up Trail 13 South out of Washburn to the Tri-County Corridor and Trail 31 South in Barnes. Please use caution on these trails.

These trails remain closed:

Trail 4 East and West out of Mason
Trail 63 South out of Mason to Grand View

We will post a more detailed trail report on Friday once our groomers get a chance to assess trail conditions.

Trail Report: Crivitz, Wisconsin – February 1, 2017

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 6 to 8 inches

Date of Report: February 1, 2017

Area Report:

Hi All…

Total snowfall in the last two days is approximately four inches. All three groomers are out there doing their magic. Overall, most of the trail is good to very good condition. There are some high-traffic areas that are somewhat thin on snow, but passable. Some spots where water was sitting due to the warm temps, may not be frozen through. Be aware of this…could be very rough and/or deep! Also, the lakes are frozen, but very rough, also due to our previous warm temps.

The weather forecast looks like cooler temps…this will help keep our trail together. More snow predicted for the weekend.

Have a great ride!

Trail Report: Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – February 1, 2017

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 24″-36″

Date of Report: February 1, 2017

Area Report:

Trails her in the Keweenaw from Copper Harbor to Twin Lakes are in pretty good shape with the snow that we have received so far this week. Temps are staying around 20 for the rest of the week during the day and low 20’s for the weekend. Nights are low teens. Groomers are running every day and will try to keep up with all the traffic that is on the trails. There is a lake effect snow warning starting tonight, suppose to get 2-3″ today and another 3″ overnight. This snow has really put the trails back into good shape.

Trail 122 from Lake Linden to Gay is closed for logging. You can take trail 122 to get to the Dreamland trail, but do not go any farther. Trail 133 between Gay and Lac LaBelle has some wet spots (should be getting better) and is a little rough. To get into Gay, you can take Trail 124 in and out to the main trail.

Remember when out on the trails to respect private property and others out on the trails, stay off of the ice, slow down (its not a race), and save the drinking for after the driving!!

Happy Trails from the Trail Goddess!
