Ashland County Snowmobile Report February 21, 2019
Trails in Ashland County are open and grooming is in process every day. Trails are in very good condition. The trail from Marengo north to the East end of Ashland, is closed, however there is a detour route in place that is marked. The Tri-County Corridor is OPEN and has been groomed!

As always please follow the snowmobile trail rules and regulations. Stay on trail, as much of the Ashland County snowmobile trail system uses private property and could be lost if the property owners experiences issues. The most common complaints are snowmobiles not staying on trails or going off into fields that are not part of the trail, and loud noise from non-stock muffler systems. Respect the trail system so that it remains open. As always operate with everyone’s safety in mind and report any hazardous trail issues that are observed to the Ashland County Sheriff’s Department (715-682-7023 opt 1) so that it can be forwarded to the appropriate service.

The Tri-County Corridor is open from Superior to Ashland. There are still several areas on the eastern end that require attention but all known hazards have been identified and marked. Use caution when approaching ribbons, barricades, and cones.

February 21 2019 8:04am – 22 – High 27

Over 5 inches of new SNOW yesterday! No grooming over night but after the groomers go out the trails will be in really great shape. More SNOW coming Saturday night into Sunday. Looks like a ton!

Over the past days volunteers from the Sno-Eagles Club have been out clearing leaning & downed trees and brush on the trails to make them safe. The ice storm followed by the heavy SNOW really made a mess on some trails. A big thank you to them.

More SNOW means even higher snowbanks at driveway crossing & road crossings. Please when you see the yield driveway ahead sign slow down & take the time to look both ways. At the road crossings there are stop signs & please stop. It is nearly impossible to see vehicles coming. Have seen a few sled & vehicle accidents this season not good.

SNOW is new & on the wet side so riding be aggressive. Meaning if you pick the speed you will slip/slide around & back of sled might squirrel around or dart. Slow down to be safe. REMEMBER THE DUSK TO DAWN SPEED LIMIT IS 55MPH EVERYWHERE. Lake & Land Trails. It’s going up to 27 today so it might be slushy at the road crossings. Otherwise have FUN!

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Stay by the reflective orange barrels. Lots of SNOW on the lakes so there could be some moguls. Be safe & slow down.

Been mentioning this all season:

Sno-Eagles Country has 2 areas that have one-way trails. 10E is a one-way trail from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart. The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area. Clearly marked with DO NOT ENTER signs. Plus trail signs are backwards if you are going the wrong way.

Remember mid week riding is the best! Time to ride!

See ya on the trails!
