Snow Cover: 2-8"
Date of Report: February 9, 2025
Snowmobile Information:
We had about 6″ of snow Saturday. It really helped to bring us back, but there was heavy traffic this weekend, so my report is about where it was. Hornshoe main trails will be groomed today thanks to our neighbors Cruisers and their Piston Bully. I had a check ride today. Groomer Don will groom our club trails tomorrow with our Kubota. Our main grade trail 17, is thin from Mattke Rd, to Frying pan lane, then thin up in the Powell Marsh. Those areas can be bypassed by riding Fence Lake to the south, and taking trail 23, River Rd, off of Flambeau Lake to the north. Raven Lake area is very good with a couple of icey corners. A caution flag goes out in this area if you go off the groomed trail, there is a substantial bank on the edges now. There are also rocks left over from the construction under the snow. Trail 5 into the casino is excellent. Trail 1, Stearns Lake Rd, and East Boundary, was excellent after the snowfall, and marginal at best after plowing. I wish they could leave us some snow on the sides but I understand homeowners squeak louder than snowmobilers. Trail 1 down from 51 to East Boundary was pretty good last night after all the Saturday traffic. With Oneida County open, F trail is getting heavier traffic, better in the woods, worn on some corners, and thinner out in the open. Our whole trail system has an ice base that is holding well where the sun can’t get at it. Lake trails are great.Forecast is for cold temps this week, and small chances of snow each day. I was really impressed with how well we held up, and will probably do an update for the weekend on Thursday. We have our annual Midnite Trail Riders from Champion Wisconsin ride here so Jay and I will need to go reconnoiter a plan of attack where to run them Thursday. Thank You. Mark
