Area Report:
32 degrees at 6:30am with a high of 39 today. Mix of rain, sleet and snow off and on today. Not good for the trails. Sure glad I rode Sunday. There is snow in the forecast
Trail Boss Brian reports due to weather and trail conditions no grooming.
Not sure where we are headed with the trails. Vilas County Alliance President has contacted all 11 Clubs for their input. The 11 Clubs vote as an Alliance whether to keep trails open, temporarily close or close for the season. Stay tuned. I will have that report as soon as I have it.
In the meantime if you are riding you will find Adventure Sledding. Meaning all sort of conditions. Did not ride yesterday but pretty sure the frozen slush I saw Sunday was mushed up. Snow where trails are under cover. Icy icy icy. Please slow down.
For safety here are 4 areas to stay away from:
TRAIL SECTION 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Bridge is closed due high water conditions. DO NOT ENTER THIS AREA
High water/slush is also present on Trail 3 aka the Manske Swamp. Use extreme caution.
Section of Trail 10E from Bloom Rd to Loon Lake Rd has slush. Recommend taking City Trail on Tamarack St to Trigs Shell Trail to Bloom Rd.
The barrels have been pulled from both Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trail. Advise not to ride. If you do it is at your own risk.
Boy I hope to ride again!

Had a terrific ride of 90 miles yesterday with AWSC Miss Snowflake, Erica Keehn, her dad & husband Tom. Here is were we rode:
Headed to town from our house on Trail 10E. Plenty of snow even on all the road trails. At Bloom Rd headed right taking the road to the Trig’s Shell Station to Tamarack St to “the grade” in town.
Straight ahead on 13 to the Eagle River Inn to meet Miss Snowflake & her dad. Then right back toward town on 13 to “the grade”. Snow covered but thin & snirty. Frozen slush behind the model homes.
Trail 13, “the grade” through Eagle River. Snow covered. Snirt at the road crossings. Thin out in the area I call the petrified forest (power poles). Pretty bumpy.
Took 13 to Trail 3 all the way to Conover. Made some great time was pretty smooth & snow covered. Crossed Hwy 45 picking up Corridor Trail 8.
Headed west on Trail 8 all the way to Stillwaters which wasn’t open yet so we turned around & headed to Trail 7. As we rode farther west there was much more snow. Good riding but bumpy.
Trail 7 was also loaded with snow as we head toward Vinchi’s. A couple of frozen hard slush spots. Some chop, but all in all good. Yep Vinchi’s was closed to so off toward Sayner & the Pub.
Headed back out of Sayner on Trail 7 to Trail 15 which was yes, wait for it…Excellent & groomed. Came into St. Germain on the east side & not through town. Along Hwy 155. Eventually picking up 70 heading toward Eagle River.
St. Germain part of Trail 70 that is road was snow covered & smooth. Connecting to Eagle River’s portion of Trail 70. It got thinner there with snirt in spots. After getting over the hill part & back into the wooded section along Hwy 70 much better. Past Eagle River Inn heading east was thin under the pine trees on the south side of the road. Section from Oak Rd into town was snirty & thin too. Real icy corners.
Back to town & east using Tamarack St. to the Trig’s Spur to Bloom Rd to Pine Rd to 10E & home.
For safety here are some important notices about the trails
TRAIL SECTION 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Bridge is closed due high water conditions. DO NOT ENTER THIS AREA

Snowmobile Information:
Trail Conditions: Poor
Snow Cover: 6-8
Date of Report: February 27, 2017
Area Report:
Trail report for February 27 2017-Trails are poor. With the additional snow we received at the beginning of the weekend we were able to get our groomers out and make the trails just barely ridable. There are still icy corners, standing puddles and bare spots. If we could get a couple more inches of snow we could get the trails in pretty good shape. The forecast is not to promising. It is snowing right now (Monday morning) but there is a rain and snow mix expected for Tuesday with temps in the 20s for the rest of this week. We will just have to see how much snow we get and how warm it will get. We can always use more snow and cold weather!!! Please be careful out there! Remember be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Due to recent warm weather and a lack of snow, all Washburn County snowmobile trails are currently closed. Think snow!
Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 2-5
Date of Report: February 27, 2017
Area Report:
Townsend – Red Arrow Snowmobile – ATV Club – The trails are in FAIR TO GOOD CONDITION and freshly groomed this morning. The hills took a beating yesterday with little snow to drag back in the holes. Rocks continue to clang on the skis so be careful of them. Most of the level wooded trails are in very nice shape were the sun hasn’t made an appearance.
Lakewood – Paul Bunyan Snowmobile Club – The Lakewood area received 4 to 5 inches of heavy wet snow with a possibility of a little more. The trails lost most of the great base we had so there will be rocks and ruts like early season condition except the ground was still frozen and with the high temperatures there is a lot of standing water. We are going to try to groom some of the high areas but not near any swampy areas. Use extreme caution if you ride.
Bagley and Brazeau – Joyriders Trails – CLOSED.
Chute Pond Snowmobile Club – Chute Pond trails are open, and are in poor to fair “early season” condition.
Expect some thin or bare areas, some rocks and gravel popping up through the snow, and some significant wet areas in the low spots. In general, the western wooded trails are better than the eastern wooded trails, and the NST is a mixed bag of some good, some not so good.
ALL LAKES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE at this time because of deteriorating ice along the shorelines. Please ride with caution and enjoy our trails.
Gillett Sno ATV Riders – CLOSED.
Oconto Falls – Sno Jokers Trails – CLOSED.
Lena Snow Drifters – CLOSED.
Chase Sno-Chasers – CLOSED.
Trail Conditions: Poor
Snow Cover: 3-5 inches
Date of Report: February 27, 2017
Area Report:
The trails remain open, however, they are in poor condition. There is just so much water and mud under this snow, they are not able to groom without tearing the trail apart! Now we are heading into several days of warm weather also.
