Snowmobiling Information

Manitowish Waters , Wisconsin - Snowmobiling Conditions & News The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters snowmobile club was founded in 1968 and is one of the oldest snowmobile clubs in existence today in Wisconsin. Located in the very northwest corner of Vilas county, Manitowish Waters borders the Lake Superior snow-belt country. With average snowfalls of 150 inches and over 25 miles of professionally groomed trails, the area is one of Vilas County’s top winter vacation areas.

The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today. Support the club by attending their special events or contributing to the “trail pigs” at local establishments along the trails. Or show your support by becoming a member!

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – January 22, 2018

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 8 to 12 inches In The Woods

Date of Report: January 22, 2018

Area Report:

Middle 30s for temps and traffic took a toll on our trails. They are mostly pretty brown. Thats the bad news. The great news is that it has started to snow in Sayner. Jaxon is here!!! Reports are all over the place with predicted amounts. I don’t even want to pass on what they are saying. What I will say is that even a few inches, once groomed, will bring all of our trails back to excellent!!! Speaking of grooming, we will be out with three groomers tonight – leveling and packing what ever White Gold that Mother Nature brings us!!!

As always, ride with caution and be ready for icy corners. Many corners can start the day snow covered but end up icy with traffic.

Please continue to be cautious on the lakes. The weight of more snow can force the ice down which pushes water up through cracks to form a slush pocket. The slush pockets can come and go.

News and Reports:

There are logging operations in the following locations: Trail 9 between Hwy 70 (TIN 364) and Ross Lake Rd (TIN 225), Trail 7 between Wharton Lake Rd (TIN 218) and Old K (Tin 217), and Trail 7 between Hwy K (TIN 216) and Lake Laura Rd (TIN 214). There is also logging in the Jean Lake Rd area of Trail 7 North, between TINS 227 & 800. That logging should be in the woods off the trail.

(TIN = Trail Intersection Numbers)

Please watch out for these logging areas. Slow down and stay out of the way of the loggers. DO NOT hassle the loggers. They have the right to close down sections of any trail they are logging near or using. If they get hassled too much, that is exactly what they will do – shut that trail down. The logging operations can run at anytime of the day or night. Loggers use some of the trails to drive in and out. So please be watchful in logging areas for trucks on the trail.

THE GOGEBIC RANGE TRAIL AUTHORITY REPORTS:
01/22/2018
Warm weather allows snow to move quickly and easily so the clubs have a large task this week. Most trails have a hard base intact, except for the corners where they are swept and bermed up. Groomers will be out non-stop as temperatures remain below freezing to put the snow back into place and cut out all the bumps. Expect some thin areas and icy corners as you spot-on mentioned. Wakefield to Hurley was groomed this morning, groomer is coming into Ironwood right now. Trail 8 was groomed Saturday 12am-7am, trail 2 to Marenisco. Our club personally has never seen whoops that big on our trail system as we did on Saturday. Groomer runs that normally take 4 hours took 7. That’s how much more work warm temps cause us!

LAKE GOGEBIC AREA GROOMER REPORT:
Jan 19 Update no new report this morning.

Groomers were out in full force last week with the cold temperatures. This weekend, the temperatures are supposed to get to the high of 43 degrees on Friday and 32 degrees on Saturday. This makes it difficult to groom at these temperatures. We will be grooming at night when the temperatures get below freezing to set up the trails. You may get a smooth trail in the morning, but expect bumps during the afternoon hours. Hope everyone has a good weekend and stay safe while riding the trails. And remember to stay on your side of the trail and stop for stop signs.
