Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – December 29, 2018

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 6-12 inches

Date of Report: December 29, 2018

Area Report:

The Bayfield County snowmobile trails will be open on Saturday, 12/29/18 and are in early-season condition. Most of the county received a decent, but variable, amount of heavy/wet snow over the past few days. However, warm temperatures and rain preceded the snow. As a result, many wet areas, especially some swamp crossing, are not frozen and still require packing and persistent low temps to develop a hard frost. Approach all wet areas with extra caution and be prepared to turn around if the crossing appears suspicious. Snowmobile clubs are actively opening gates, clearing downed trees and/or limbs, and packing/prepping the trails. Riders should be extra cautious when travelling on the trails during this early season period. Be wary of low hanging branches, wet areas, downed trees and/or limbs, and other similar hazards that may compromise the trail. At this time the trails are NOT groomed. Grooming operations will start when conditions permit. Again, snowmobile trails are open, but in early season condition. Use extra caution, be prepared to turn around or find an alternate route and stay on the trails! For the most up to date report of trail conditions, please contact the local snowmobile club. Below are sections of trail that are currently closed or require additional cautions when riding:

There is no access to Port Wing from Trails 3 and 40.

Trail 1 heading east from Port Wing to Herbster is impassable at this time.

Trail 4, east of Mason and west of Sanborn, from Brown Rd. to the Ashland County line is closed.

Trail 31 South, from Mulligan Creek Rd. to the Sawyer County line is closed.

Trails 15, 80, 90, and 8, in Cable and Namakagon, all have wet/swamp crossings that are not frozen. Extra caution must be taken when approaching these areas. Be prepared to turn around if a crossing is not capable of supporting your machine.

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS ARE OPEN
Early Season Riding with FAIR & some POOR

December 29, 2018 10:37am – 10 degrees- Cloudy

Holy moly! It’s finally here! The trails open!!

Groomers have been out & nearly all trails in Sno-Eagles Country have been panned. Thick ice base in some areas. Thin ice base in other areas. Most are SNOW covered but remember SNOW on top of ice makes for slippery riding. Add the Lake Effect SNOW that fell yesterday & best to slow down. The SNOW base is best in the woods under cover with 4-5 inches of SNOW average. Right through town thinner.

EAGLE LAKE IS MARKED & OPEN. ORANGE BARRELS WERE AT THE LANDING AT BRAYWOOD SO CATFISH SHOULD BE OPEN SHORTLY. Stay by the orange reflective barrels to be safe.

See ya on the trails!

December 29, 2018
Ashland County Snowmobile trails opened Saturday, December 29. All trails will be open, except the trail from Marengo north to the East end of Ashland, that section will be closed. They are out packing the trails today. Unsure of what trail conditions will be like. The snow we received is good packing snow but with the rain/snow we received it may be wet underneath. Ride at your own risk. The Corridor has been groomed.

The Tri-County Corridor is now OPEN but conditions are poor at this time for riding. 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.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – December 29, 2018

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 4 to 6

Date of Report: December 29, 2018

Area Report:

The Vilas Funded Trail System opened this morning at 9am.

The term “early season conditions applies. There was only about 4 to 6 inches, on the trails, for the groomers to work with. So where there were holes and/or ruts – they will not be completely filled. Rocks may not be completely covered. So suffice to say; actual conditions will vary greatly all the way from very rough to pretty good. We need more snow. PLEASE take your time & ride with extreme caution!!!

Most lakes are marked but some are not – such as – the last I knew Lake Minocqua was NOT MARKED! If you don’t see markers – DO NOT CROSS!!!

Coming soon – fund raiser info!

All trails in the Boulder Junction Trail System have been panned and just starting to create a base. I would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in making possible for the trail system to be opening. Please use extreme CAUTION! This is early season riding. All areas have very little snow. Some areas have ruts and there can be many hazards on the trail. The swamps and boggy areas in trail system are still freezing up. Please stay on the marked trails.
