Trail Report – Feb. 5, 2021:

Well, we finally received much-needed snow just in time for the weekend! As of 3 a.m., we received about 8″ of new snow which has greatly improved our trail base. Unfortunately, on Wednesday night one of our groomers went down and will be out of service for at least a week. That means our remaining groomer will be running around the clock to keep the trails in shape.

Prior to the new snow yesterday, we groomed 2W and 8E. During the snowfall we groomed 15N, 6E, and 15S. Early this morning we are grooming 8W, 51, and 2W. We’ll be repeating our rotation starting on Friday afternoon into Saturday.

Last weekend 1,013 sleds rode past our trail counter. With this recent snow we anticipate many more sleds to come through town. We’ll be doing our best to keep the trails flat as this is the first time this season when we’ll have the snow conditions to develop moguls on the trails.

Trail Advisory: When riding on the airport spur, please stay on the marked trail which is on the far edge of the airport adjacent to the road.

Speed Limit Advisory: When passing through town, whether on Corridor 7 or Corridor 15, please use the marked trails, follow the signs, and observe the 15 mph speed limit. Snowmobiles are not allowed on the town’s Main Street.

When riding in our area, ride on the right, respect other sledders, and enjoy our trails and area businesses.

Think snow!

Trails in GOOD to VERY GOOD Condition
8-10 inches of new SNOW!
GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours

Nightly grooming continues with almost the entire Sno-Eagles Eagle River trails groomed.  Only 70W toward St. Germain. 17S toward Sugar Camp & 1N which is off of trail 17N were NOT GROOMED. 

Suggest buying a Sno-Eagles trail map to help with location of trails. Plus download the GTS trails app  It is available at the App Store.

Well the weather guys were almost right with the SNOW totals.  The Eagle River area received 8-10 inches of wet heavy SNOW!  A bit more than they forecast!  On top of that the temps dropped last night.  So….with grooming the cold temps trails are in GOOD to maybe even VERY GOOD condition

If you are riding today or over the next week be prepared with extra warm clothes.  Temps will be 0-1 degree for highs during the day & double digits below zero every night for the next week.  Here are some cold weather riding tips:

  • Extra layers of clothing
  • Gloves/mittens with long lasting hand warmers or try a pair of battery heated gloves. Gauntlets over handle bars good too
  • Cold weather boots with layered socks
  • Fully charged phone stored in the inside pocket of your jacket
  • Heated shields are great other wise remember to breath through your nose to prevent fogging
  • Stop more frequently & drink water. Cold can cause dehydration

Thinking the new snow should stop off trail riding.  Please stay on the trails to keep the trails open.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels.  Please stay by the barrels to be safe.  The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

TIME TO RIDE IF YOU ARE HARDY!

SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!!!

Our trails are rated good to very good.  Groomers were out last night and groomed 11S, Trail 2 from Hurley to Marenisco, Trail 8 from Wakefield to the turn around on M-28.  160 will be done today and everything will be groomed again after 160 is groomed.  It will take a few grooms to pack the snow into a base.  Some trails will be full of snow with the wind drifting them closed so use caution.  Enjoy the new snow and stay warm.

Trail Report – : Oconto County, Wisconsin – February 4, 2021

Reporter:Oconto County Tourism

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 5-7

Date of Report: February 4, 2021

Area Report:

Oconto County will be partially opening Friday, February 5, 2021 at NOON.

Oconto County snowmobile clubs and volunteers have worked tirelessly to get the Red Arrow, Paul Bunyan, Iron Snowshoe, Chute Pond and Bag/Bra Club Snowmobile Trials cleaned up, groomed and ready for your snowmobiling enjoyment.  There are a few sections of trail that are not open.  The trails South of Suring remain closed as the majority of those trails are on Ag land that need to be prepared for a safe riding experience.  The Nicolet State Trail, aka the grade, is open from Gillett to Forest County.

Logging is currently in process on both County and Federal Properties. Please when coming into a logging area, follow the signage and never go under or near logging equipment when they are in use.  This is a very dangerous situation and if it continues, the trail may be shut down or forced to be rerouted.  Let’s all be safe and patient when we are on the trails.  Logging equipment has the right of way. 

The nine snowmobile clubs in Oconto County work together with the Oconto County Forest Administrator, who gives the final approval before trails may open.  Once the Southern trails are approved to open, the announcement will appear on the official Oconto County Trail Report web page https://www.ocontocounty.org/trail-reports/ .

For your own safety, and that of the club groomers and volunteers- please stay off the southern trails – do not ride on closed trails. For more information, please contact the Oconto County website or the Forest and Parks Department at 920-834-6995.
