Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 8, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies
Trail Conditions: Excellent
Snow Cover: 10-12”
Date of Report: February 8, 2026
Area Report:

We have groomed the entire Conover trail system Friday and Saturday night. The usual trails that get a lot of traffic were their usual condition, we did our best to smooth them back out. Traffic was low last night, so hopefully with the cold temps last night, they froze in nice and flat. 

We keep getting very light snow falls of an inch or less. We could use a good 4-6 wet snow fall to freshen up the trails, but we are still working with what we have. A few areas are getting bare but not bad. Road routes do have some snow on them, but towns have been plowing them off and winging the edges off. 

Remember to follow the barrels when crossing lakes. There is a large ice heave out in the middle of North Twin Lake. A few sleds have gone wide of the barrels and hit the ice heave where it is quite a bit higher than the rest of the ice. If you cross where the barrels are with lights, it is pretty flat now.  Also, the night time speed limit is 55 mph everywhere. 

Right Right, Ride Safe

 Ice Base – Loose SNOW
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

Evil sun partly out this morning.  Temps in the 20’s-30’s.  Hope the ice base holds the SNOW.  Not much SNOW in the forecast.  Looks, at this point, that it will be next Monday the 16th to Friday the 20th before any accumulating SNOW.  Need a SNOW DANCE!!  

SNOW softened yesterday out east of Eagle River heading east & west.  Grade is under cover & in good shape. Through town soft to but covered.  Heading north on 10/13 good too. That section right after crossing Hwy G still has Chop.  Scooting around on 3 & 17 was also soft. Road section (Shangri La Rd) pretty bare.  Didn’t go west yesterday.  There was Saturday traffic, but not near like last Saturday.  Remember RIDE RIGHT.
 
Here’s what GTS Groomer APP shows what was groomed last night into early morning today. GREEN means groomed overnight. BLUE means groomed Thursday into Friday. BLACK means no grooming for 3+ days.  About a 1/2 grooming session. RIGHT CLICK TO ENLARGE MAP

Groomer drivers are riding daily too.  Reporting back to the Trail Boss. 
This helps to groom where it’s needed.
Daily Reminders:   
Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed.  The Club is working on a reroute.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail       

Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the        lake this winter.  If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights

See ya on the trails Monday!!

Snow Cover: 10-12″

Date of Report: February 6, 2026

Area Report:

At 8:00 AM it’s 23 degrees out with cloudy skies and falling temps throughout the day with a
low of 0 degrees. Above freezing temps will be here by Monday.
We last groomed 15S/8E Thursday morning and 2W/8W/51 and 15N/6E Thursday evening.
Overall, our trails are in very good riding condition with only a few pesky moguls that we are
working on daily.
We have had a few complaints from residents living on our town road routes going through
town about sleds speeding and running down the middle of the road. These routes are marked
with green signs with white arrows and have a posted speed of 15 mph and you must ride on
the right side of the road from both directions.
Please ride safe, ride right, and enjoy the trails and area businesses while in our neck of the
woods!

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 5, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12”

Date of Report: February 5, 2026

Area Report:

Did a short groom run last night, we hit the busier trails. Did a club ride out to Bents Camp and Brews Pub. As we started in Conover, we rode a trail that wasn’t groomed last night. It was in great shape yet. Trail 13 going north toward Land O Lakes was good, but had some spots down to the base. Not much we can do about that till we get some more snow. Trails were in good shape all the way, some of the road routes have been plowed down and winged back.

They are talking about us getting back into an active weather pattern. This morning, we had a little freezing drizzle right as we were getting ready to leave. Not good on a helmet coming out of a 70 degree home. I had to stop and warm helmet up enough so I could wipe off the moisture. After that we were good and heated shields were able to keep up. But that little bit of moisture added to the snow can help us form the trails up better. 

Trail Boss Chad continues to monitor trails and determine how much we groom, what we do hit or take 1 day off if possible. We would love to be grooming into March, what a season it would be to have these great trails for a full snowmobile season. 

I’m due to groom again on Saturday and I’m scheduled to hit everything on the east side. The same for west side of Conover. 

Ride Right, Ride Safe
