Snowmobile Report – January 4, 2022
The Snowmobile Trails in Ashland County are Open. Trails are being packed but NOT being groomed. Conditions are POOR. Early trail conditions with some swamps still having open water AND watch out for rocks and debris, even though we did just receive snow it’s not enough snow to cover. Stay on the trail. Lots of Ashland County snowmobile trails are on farmers land, please be respectful so we don’t loose our easement to their property. Hopefully snow tonight!

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – January 4, 2022

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4-5″

Date of Report: January 4, 2022

Area Report:

The Barnstormer trail system has held up quite well even with the lack of new snow and the heavy traffic last week.  Last night, I groomed trails 6,9, and 51 and found them all to be pretty flat with minimum moguls.  As of this writing, I haven’t heard from the other groomers from last night, but I suspect they are all finding the same thing throughout our system.  Snow coverage on the trails is still pretty light.  There are areas where you may still hear the carbides scraping gravel.  Corners are very icy under the thin layer of snow, so PLEASE be careful!

There is a winter storm warning for tonight through tomorrow morning, with our area expected to receive 4-8″ of new snow!  This will help tremendously, if there is a fair amount of moisture in it.  If it’s all dry fluff, it’s more cosmetic than functional.

Please support all of the clubs by participating in their fundraisers!  Here’s a list of what’s coming up for the Barnstormers.  You can also get more info at http://www.saynerbarnstormers.com.

Our trails held up pretty good with the cold weather and traffic, there calling for 5-6 inches tonight and tomorrow so the trails will be great for the weekend, low traffic here during the week but reports are good. Most lakes are now marked and smooth. Come up and ride , they will be great after the storm. Does not look like there will be much traffic this weekend. 

Trail Report – : Kenosha County, Wisconsin – January 4, 2022

Reporter:Nick

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 2-3 inches

Date of Report: January 4, 2022

Area Report:

Although we had a somewhat of a significant snowfall and with the winds most of the snow  headed east to Lake Michigan. That being said we now have a decent base and are patiently waiting for more snow.

With the amount of development in Kenosha County it has become necessary to divert around many of these obstacles so trails may differ from the map. Watch for construction along trails close to Highway 50. This area is trying at best.

A new map is planned and will be out shortly.
