Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 15, 2023

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 8-10”

Date of Report: January 15, 2023

Area Report:

Grooming continues. The Cemetery trail was done Saturday night and is holding. There was a lot of traffic on Saturday and a great turnout for the Trailside Brat fry. We are going out again tonight. I’ll be working on the west side of town. I’ll do another report Monday morning.
Everyone was saying the trails are in good shape considering we haven’t seen any fresh snow lately. That pattern is going to change. Some models are saying we should get some measurable snow, others say it is going south of us. We will see, but cold temps are suppose to come in.

News and Reports:

We have a spot that sleds are riding off trail. This is on Trail 3 where sleds are going past a barrier and caution tape to ride on the ATV trail. We don’t have permissions for snowmobiling on this private land. Please stay on the trail.

If you find a condition that you need to report to the Conover Sno-Buddies like a down tree, water on the trail, etc, either message us on Facebook, use the contact page on our website, or even notify a local establishment. They know how to get a hold of us to fix the issue.

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Along Hwy K West, there were several 100 trees removed this summer to place new electric poles. Most of the stumps are still there. If you were to hit one, it could ruin your trip quickly. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – January 15, 2023

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 4-8”

Date of Report: January 15, 2023

Snowmobile Information:

As I had indicated on Thursday, lack of moisture and warmer temps, compiled with heavy traffic, put us in a position that we put the groomer on standdown Saturday. We still have plenty of snow, but it’s gone sugary on us, and Keith is afraid, putting the groomer on it would only do more damage than good. All of our trails are pretty bumpity. It was an amazing weekend, great riding,with heavy traffic, but amazing riding. Starting at 4 AM tomorrow, it looks like we are going to get freezing rain and ice. John D is still pretty confident we should have some sort of major snow operation Wednesday/Thursday. None of the weather operations are predicting that, so we’ll see what firms up in the next couple of days. Thank you.Mark

Trail Report – : Sugar Camp, Wisconsin – January 15, 2023

Reporter:Matt Winters

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 12″-16″

Date of Report: January 15, 2023

Area Report:

The trails have been holding together surprisingly well despite the heavy traffic and warmer than average temperatures we’ve been seeing. A lot of the corners are becoming ice so use caution. Most of the swamps we are finally able to groom through and seem to be solid. The lakes seem like they have been doing okay for now as well. With the heavier than normal traffic and the warmer temperatures i would expect the trails to deteriorate through out each day. We’ll be out doing the best we can to get them back in shape by morning. Thanks and be safe.

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – January 15, 2023

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Between 2″ – 4″ base

Date of Report: January 15, 2023

Area Report:

It’s been a rough year to give trail reports. We’ve got snow in the Keweenaw, but it’s like late season conditions. All road crossings and towns are getting snirty or no snow at all. However once you get out of town there’s still plenty to ride on. There is snow in the forecast on Tuesday/ Wednesday which is must needed so that might help.

Ride with cation because we still have open water in places and in spots they are reopening from all the warm weather we’ve been getting.

Date of Report: January 13, 2023

Area Report:

We were back to grooming Thursday night and the crew is out again Friday night. We rode today from Energy Mart south to Eagle Lake, down to trail along 70 East of Eagle River. Trails were in nice shape and holding up well. There was a few thin spots, but not as bad as I thought it could be since we haven’t seen much new snow lately. Rode out to the Habit, Sand Lake Pub and ended at Twin Lake Pub. All the trails were Good, a few spots were fair, but not bad at all.
If we can survive this weekend and the weather on Monday, colder temps and snow is in the forecast. I will update more when we get closer. Stay tuned.

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Along Hwy K West, there were several 100 trees removed this summer to place new electric poles. Most of the stumps are still there. If you were to hit one, it could ruin your trip quickly. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.
