Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – January 3, 2022

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: minimal base, some thin areas

Date of Report: January 3, 2022

Area Report:

There is one trail closure on the Hodag Sno-Trails system: Trail H4 from Boom Lake to the intersection just north of River Rd. This is basically the “land” route to not running Boom Lake. The club is trying to work with the landowner regarding the issue. The trail is closed at this point.

The groomers have been out packing the little bit of base there is. They will be out at full strength this week filling holes as best they can and continuing to smooth out the trails from moderate use over the holiday weekend. Trails are “fair” overall. The wooded trails have good areas. The fields are thin, but flat. The swamps are froze tight but have more uneven trail bed that cant be completed filled with the snow available. The groomers are doing what they can with what is out there. They are being careful not to pull the snow of the trail bed.

All of the lakes in the area have been marked. There is some logging in the area. Trail 13 north from Haymeadow Road to Rasmusson Road. Hopefully, they will be done in a week or so. The trail is thin on the roadway from the logging operations.

Trail Report – : Phelps, Wisconsin – January 2, 2022

Reporter:Phelps Snowmobile Club

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10″-15″

Date of Report: January 2, 2022

Area Report:

A very busy holiday weekend has passed. The Phelps trail system held up good. Grooming is being done while I type. All areas have been groomed including our swamps. The base we have is wearing well and good ton excellent conditions should be found this week. The lake trails have been marked and riders should stay on the marked trail for safety. Cold weather is in the forecast with snow perdicted midweek. Sure could use a good snowfall. Please stay on the marked trails so that we don’t lose the privalage to use our private property crossing. This is not out west with off trail riding. This is trail riding. Dress for the weather and ride safe. And as alwys, think snow.

Snowmobile Information:

Phelps/Conover joint trailside cookout is Saturday January, 8 from 11:00-3:00 at the trail intersection of 6 and 45 where the clubs trails meet. Food, refreashments, and lot’s of fun. Hope to see you there.

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – January 2, 2022

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 6″ – 8″ Base

Date of Report: January 2, 2022

Area Report:

Now that the holidays are over we can get a better hold of our trail system. With the cold temps and less traffic things should shape up real good for this upcoming weekend. We’ll be seeing highs in the teens and single digits for the next week plus there’s a chance 6″-12″ of snow the first part of this week. That will help get things in excellent conditions I’m hoping.

North in the Keweenaw things are looking real good with groomers running night and day. Most of our water holes are freezing over and snow covered. Trail 3 south from Houghton/ Hancock is in very good shape having more snow and grooming day and night make for excellent conditions. Things do get a little thinner around Greenland and Mass City but all trails are rideable with no problems getting into town.

Ride safe and please stay on the trails.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – January 2, 2022

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Thin

Date of Report: January 2, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

As of today, Northern Hornshoes will suspend grooming operations until we get more snow. The forecast is for some snow Tuesday or Wednesday. I ran to Walmart down 17 at 2:00 yesterday, and it was OK, then across 70, and north from Black Bear. Shish and Gunlock Lakes are good, and I was able to find snow on F, and the woods are good but thin.Then I ran 17 to 5 intersection toward the casino, and there are bare spots, and blown corners. Matt and Dick groomed last night, so they leveled what little we have, but until there’s more snow, it is not work working it. Will advise mid-week. Mark

A Great Holiday week is coming to a close today. A combination of cooperation from Mother Nature and a lot of hard work by the trail boss and groomer operators made it a week to remember. Some cold and snow in the forecast so we should be in for a good week of riding with much less traffic.

Of the trails ridden Trail 3N aka Manske Swamp is rough with heavy chop at the west end were it connects to Trail 10/13N. Trail 10/13 aka Wisconsin River Trail is very rough with moguls. Both trails are north of town. Trail 70/13/7 that heads west from behind the Dairy Queen in town has rough areas from the re route & heading west until you come out by Synergy Salon. All areas that can have mush are frozen tight. Trail 10E has snirt at the Loon Lake Rd crossing. This is just before you get to Trail Alt 13. Left to Three Lakes SNOW covered. Right into Eagle River fantastic.

Catfish & Eagle lake trails were marked & are NOW OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN.

Overnight the groomers groomed nearly the entire Eagle River Sno-Eagles trails according to Groomer Tracking app.

Only trails not groomed were Trail 3 aka Manske Swamp, Trail 10/13 aka Wisconsin River Bridge. All of these sections are north of Eagle River where Eagle River trails connect to the Conover trails. Short section of Trail 17N from Trail 1 east heading to Phelps.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – December 31, 2021

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Still OK

Date of Report: December 31, 2021

Snowmobile Information:

OK, so president Keith kept getting phone calls, ” Are the lake marked? When are you marking the lakes?” We do not get paid to mark our lakes. Zip, nada, zero. Our club pays for the markers and barrels, out of Keith’s first communion money. So, please be patient. That being said, all of the Northern Hornshoe Lakes are marked, EXCEPT Fence, as of today. The coolest thing, is that we had an AMAZING group of volunteers – six do not even belong to the Hornshoes. They heard we needed help, and they showed up to help. WOW. So lets talk trails. Snow is thin, but this reporter actually ran his sled, for 80 miles today, and the trails are thin, but stable. We need snow, but the cold temps have made what little we have pretty cool. 15 & 5 are showing their age, corners and stop signs are getting snirty. I ran #1, Stearns Lake Road, and East Boundary, up to 51 to the Bear Stube, and it was OK. Then I had to stop, and conduct some one on one interviews with riders. Everyone agreed, We need snow, but it was OK. Happy New Year Y’all. Mark
