Short Christmas Report today! The weather guys are not calling for a White Christmas!  Looks like some snow may fall mid afternoon.  It will then turn to sleet  Later to rain.  Not a happy report.  There is one more day of the weather pop up.  Then back to WINTER.  Tuesday temps will be High 16 – Low 9.  Next chance of SNOW Thursday.

With all that said trails are about the same. As in all sledding seasons the town trails have the most use so it has softened most there.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trails are not open.  Volunteers are checking ice depth.  Stay tuned for updates.  Please stay off the lakes.

The Oneida & Forest County Trails are now open.  Please check with the Clubs in those Counties for the up to date report.  Especially Lake Conditions. 

No grooming last so that the drivers could spend time with there families. Here are a few areas to know about:

  •      Manske Swamp – Section of Trail 3N between intersection of 17N/3N and 10W/13N passable by sled USE CAUTION
  •      WI River Bridge – Trail 10W/13N   Passable by sled, Trail packed, by sled  
  •      Due to the mushy areas there may be sections that are not
    groomed.
