Trail Report: Bergland, Michigan – January 24, 2017

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: Poor

Date of Report: January 24, 2017

Area Report:

The conditions around here are nothing to write home about and all we can hope is that they get better – which we know they will.     Several days of above freezing temps and some rain has taken a toll – however – temps look to drop below freezing starting tomorrow and will continue to hover in the mid 20’s for at least the next week.    While that is good news – we need those temps to drop down to single digits in order to freeze up the open water first.   So when you are praying for snow – please be sure to keep cold temps in the prayers :).    Our forecast is calling for 14 days of straight snow and John Dee’s forecast indicates 12-24” of snow between Jan 28-Feb 2nd.

We have guests in house who have been trailoring their sleds up to the Twin Lakes area.   They said it’s not that great – but it is rideable – somewhat.

We hope to have better news to report – but that’s where we stand at present.

Think Cold and Snow!

Trail Report: Rhinelander, Wisconsin – January 23, 2017

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: enough, but soft

Date of Report: January 23, 2017

Area Report:

Surprisingly, we have made it through the January thaw without losing the trails.  I went out and ran a good portion of our trails yesterday and was pleasantly surprised how good they were.  Everything in the woods was good with a little snirt in the corners and exposed areas.  The road routes are thin and/or icy.  The lakes are full of slush.  Stay close to the barrels for best running.

We pulled the groomers off to hold the base, and it worked.  There was very little sled traffic, so the corners didn’t get tore up from the soft conditions.  Overall, we came out of this okay.

There is snow in the forecast for Tuesday night, so we could be in good shape for a rebound from the warm-up.

The club just bought a new groomer, so they are itching to get it out, and get the trails in world class condition.

Please stay on all marked trails!!  Join a local club, they can use the support.
