Trail Report – : Antigo/Langlade County, Wisconsin – January 8, 2019

Reporter:langlade

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 2-4

Date of Report: January 8, 2019

Area Report:

CLOSED until further notice. The Langlade County Snowmobile Ordinance prohibits snowmobilers and all-terrain vehicles from operating on the above trails. Anyone operating on the above trails will be cited.

Even though Langlade County received 2-4 inches of snow on January 7, it rained most of the day after the snow had fallen. Overnight temperatures were above freezing, so groomers weren’t able to get out to pack the heavy wet snow. Therefore, there is water sitting in swamps and field that are not frozen. The extended weather forecast is calling for colder temperatures. Please keep checking back.

Also, the Langlade County ATV trail system will remain closed until further notice.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – January 8, 2019

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 4-6″ with a good base

Date of Report: January 8, 2019

Area Report:

We received 3+ inches of wet heavy snow followed with some rain.  All of the groomers will be out panning the trails and will be completed within the next 48 hours.  The good news is this type of snowfall with the cold temps will set up well with the panning efforts.  The struggle continues to be the lack of snow to get the trails in world class condition.  The groomers will be working hard to make the trails as flat as possible, but there still isn’t enough to rate them as “good”.

The forest roads and trails with a good base will be fine.  The fields will still be a bit thin due the the high winds that could have blown some of the snow off.

All of the lakes are marked and are safe to cross – staying by the markers.

Please stay on all marked trails. It is an ongoing situation to keep all of our landowners happy that snowmobilers are respecting their property.

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS ARE OPEN!
Early Season Riding with FAIR conditions

January 8, 2019 6:40am – 30 degrees  with temps dropping quickly today

The 4-5 1/2 inches of wet packy SNOW is now panned or groomed in Sno-Eagles Country!  Saw the groomers heading out last night around 5:30pm.  One making the crossing in town heading south on 3S (aka “the grade” or Alt13).  The other on Trail 17N moving it’s way along the KartWay heading north.

Really lucked out with weather yesterday.  From around 11am-2pm there was a fine mist with a few periods of very very light rain.  Did little to the new SNOW.  

Today we are at the high for the day already. Temps will steadily drop all day with a low of 8 degrees.  Temps in the teens or low 20’s until Saturday when the high will be in the high 20’s.  SNOW forecast Saturday.  Could be a little SNOW on Friday night too.  Stay tuned!

Reminder that in Sno-Eagles Country there are 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.  So heading out east you are on the south side of the road.  Heading back into town heading west you are on the north side of the road.  The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area.  Clearly marked with DO NOT ENTER signs.  This can be dangerous.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Stay by the reflective orange barrels.  Do not drift away from the barrels as it is not safe to do so.  Remember not all lakes have trails so if you don’t see marker do not ride on it to be safe.  These are the only 2 lakes that are marked in Sno-Eagles Country.  No other lake trails.  

Winter is back!  Continue DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE & THINK COLD!

See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 7, 2019

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: Zero to 3 inches

Date of Report: January 7, 2019

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

Much of the county received rain last night into the early hours this morning. Some in the county did get a wintery mix so they got a bit of wet, heavy snow. Areas of the Chippewa Flowage received about an inch and a half to two inches of wet snow. The southern part of the county received rain and do not have good riding conditions yet. Again, the lakes and wooded trails in the center part of the county going north had pretty good snow that has now gotten a bit slushy with today’s warmer temps but the good news is the temps will drop back down tonight and will hold below freezing for the rest of the week so the lakes and woods will freeze back up. The open trails do have bare spots as well as some bare spots in the woods. Riders today coming from the north and traveling through the Seeley Hills, Flowage and back to the north are pleasantly surprised! Most certainly is rideable out there! Again, temps will drop down and stay down this week. We will update again after everything freezes back up and more reports come in. Snow is in the forecast early next week and no big melt down anywhere in the near future.

Bayfield and Price counties are open. Washburn and Ashland are partially open. Barron and Rusk are closed.

ATV/UTV trails are also open in Sawyer County in the winter. A few areas do have some closures and those are listed on the map.

Thank you to all club members and to all of you that make Sawyer County your riding destination!

Trail Report – : Crivitz, Wisconsin – January 7, 2019

Reporter:ironsnowshoe

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 6 inches in most areas

Date of Report: January 7, 2019

Area Report:

Hurrah!  We received 6 inches of good heavy wet snow throughout most of the Iron Snowshoe Trail.  Now it is Monday morning and it is raining, but I think we will still be ok.  We went around and opened all the gates.  The trails are OPEN.  We welcome any of you to ride through and pack this snow down with your sleds.  This will help the snow stick to the trail.  For best results, our groomers will not be able to go out until it stops raining and the temperatures stay colder.  So…a day or two out. 

I will keep you updated as this week progresses…

Hoping for HAPPY TRAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 7, 2019

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: Zero to 3 inches

Date of Report: January 7, 2019

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

No big changes to report. We do have warmer weather today, however reports the wooded trails are surprisingly good from the center part of the county to the north. The Chippewa Flowage has good ice and enough snow to keep your sleds cool. Temps cooler tomorrow and warmer on Mon with snow in the forecast Sunday night and Monday and then temps dropped back down for perfect riding weather after Monday.

Surrounding counties open are Bayfield, Price and Ashland is partially open. Rusk, Barron and Washburn still closed.

Thanks to all the groomers and volunteers out doing trail maintenance! Watch for the new menu boards! Send us a picture with you and the new boards if you see them! Thank you to Musky Sno, North Country ATV and Sno Mads for getting these great signs going! And huge thank you to Gene Chenoweth for all the hours and hard work building them! Please remember this is a very big job and there are many businesses. The goal was to have them started by Jan 1st and more and more businesses will be added in phases as man power exists. Some of the most common landmarks are on them now to get the ball rolling, more will continue to be added. If you are a business owner and would like to volunteer helping to get these out and/or any work added with them as you will benefit please contact Don Mrotek (private message for contact info if needed). It’s a big job and a small group working very hard! Thank you those!!

Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – January 7, 2019

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 3-8”

Date of Report: January 7, 2019

Area Report:

Here are your current conditions:
We received about 4” of heavy wet snow over the past 24 hours. All of our equipment is out panning and grooming the trails. There is a lot of moisture in the snow, so they should all groom out really nice with some cold weather coming this week. More snow in the forecast also.

Our forest county portion of the trails are still not open, but hopefully by the weekend they should be.

Lakes are all marked. Remember, stay as close to the barrels as possible. If you don’t see barrels, assume they are not safe.

Use cation at all road crossing as they are icy.
