Taconite State Trail, Arrowhead State Trail, Putnam/Fishing Lakes Trails, and Lake Vermilion Soudan Underground Mine State Park Tails: Due to warm weather and lack of snow, we do not recommend riding at this time. There is bare ground and open water present throughout the system, and it is not safe for travel. Until we get substantial additional snow to improve the base and cover the rocks, hummocks, and holes, full-on trail grooming will not begin. If you are riding the trails, use caution and remain alert for rocks, holes, and generally rough trail conditions. Continue to monitor conditions online, as they may change rapidly if we get snowfall: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/snow_depth/index.html
Snow: 0 inches with a base of 0 inches. Groomed: No Condition: Poor
Babbitt Golf Course Trail: Not Skiable.
Babbitt Birch Lake Plantation: Not Skiable.
Bear Head Lake State Park: Ski trails are closed and open to hiking. Be sure to bring foot traction devices as there are patches of ice due to the melting and rain in previous weeks.
REMINDER: It is unlawful to walk, snowshoe, have pets, or destroy any part of the groomed ski trails in any manner.
Skiing Base: 0-2 inches. Conditions: Poor Groomed: No
Snowmobiling conditions: Closed. Groomed: No. Base: 0-2 inches
Along with the DNR trail conditions website, continue to monitor these clubs’ websites (www.ridetheborders.com/trail-report.html & www.snowmobilevacation.org/trail-updates) for the most current Arrowhead State Trail conditions.

Temps continue to bounce up & down. Not looking good. Haven’t seen a sledding season like this in a long time. Last I remember was in the mid-80’s. Actually much of the 80’s were up & down. With low SNOW in the early 90’s. Then we got clobbered with SNOW in ’95. Spoke to a man who remembers in 1973 there was little or no SNOW. He remembered as it was the year he moved up to Eagle River.

Area Report:
Not a lot going on in the Hornshoe territory. We still have a donation link for our Kubota groomer at www.hornshoe.org. People are donating, and we are appreciating.
News and Reports:
There is a lot of activity in the Northwoods this weekend. I belong to some cool groups on Facebook. One is Vilas County Community. A lot of good information about what activities are going on, places to go, people to meet. Vilas Counties website also has a lot of cool links. I like the fact that you get posts from groups, and clubs, that keep you up to date of upcoming activities. I see quite a few people asking what they can come up, and do, without snow to terrorize.
Snowmobile Information:
I would say we received about 3″ of snow last night. Enough to blow some snowshine up your trail, but not anything to unleash the hounds, or mobilize the John Deere. Several clubs have fun stuff going on. Cruisers and Forest Riders are doing a tag team event at Lakeland Power Sports Saturday. Lakeland also has some great deals on gear. Frosty Club is on the ice at Bendts Camp. Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters has an event at their clubhouse behind the Chamber of Commerce at the airport. White Thunder Riders has their auction at 4:00 at their clubhouse. I always say riders should belong to a club and also be aware of whose trails you ride on. These fund raisers pay for equipment to keep the trails going.
Groups worth mentioning: K.A.O.S. ( Kids and adults on sleds) Amazing youth group many riders do not know about. Then there is the NextGen Riders – new group that targets young adults on sleds that are too old for KAOS, but too young to hang with the W.H.O.W (WOW, for short) group. (White Haired Old Weasels). I do not see anything on the internet for WOW. They have trouble remembering what day of the week it is, let alone how to operate any newfangled internet contraptions.
Have fun

Area Report:
Not a lot going on in the area. My wife had some blinds installed yesterday, and the installer spotted a wolf on her way in. She asked me if we have many animals around, and I told her wolves, coyotes, bobcat, fox, and a huge fisher. I am getting to be a regular Marlin Perkins this winter. Oh yeah – squirrels, lots of squirrels.
News and Reports:
I am currently tracking a major snow event that looks to give New York City the most snow they have had in two years. 3-5″ of snow, and they could be paralyzed! Winter storm Lorraine could dump 5-8″ in Cape Cod, and it’s turning into a real Nor’easter eh. I was hoping the weather channel would interview one of the locals that sound like they are from Scotland. People tell me I have a heavy midwestern accent, but at least I don’t speak in cursive – hah!
Snowmobile Information:
Now to the good part. Trails are currently closed, and when your reporter has to watch videos of snow from out east, that is a good indication of the status of our local weather, and/or his overall mental stability.
LOTS of local snowmobile fundraisers going on this weekend, the 17th and 18th. We have a group of 25 coming to stay with us, and on Saturday, we are going on a fundraiser roadtrip. We are starting in Woodruff, then Boulder, Presque Isle, Manitowish Waters, then finish up with a little White Thunder. I see quite a few groups doing the same, and taking their trips anyway. Clubs appreciate it, businesses appreciate it, and it helps the Northwoods.
