They are removing mats and poles from the powerline and our trail will be diverted slightly around them.

Snow Cover: 1-6
Date of Report: March 6, 2023
Area Report:
Langlade County’s Zone A snowmobile trails are in good condition overall with some icy corners and thin spots. The base is about 2-6 inches. ZONE A TRAILS REMAIN OPEN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE SECTIONS OF TRAIL BETWEEN INTERSECTIONS 42 & 42A AND INTERSECTIONS 21B & 22B WHICH WILL REMAIN CLOSED.
Langlade County’s Zone B snowmobile trails are in fair to good conditions with thin stretches and icy spots mainly in low-lying areas. The base is about 1-4 inches.
Most of the trail system has been groomed. A few most in swamps have not been groomed as the groomers are too heavy for the ground that is not frozen solid. With warm weather forecasted over the weekend conditions will likely deteriorate some.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Trails Good
New wet & packy SNOW overnight. Still SNOWING this morning. At 5:16am there was about 3 inches new SNOW east of Eagle River. SNOW will continue throughout the day. Thinking maybe 5 inches will be the total.
Trail yesterday were still great in the woods. 10E heading to Eagle River which is a one way on the north side of the woods had many burn throughs’. Still enough icy snow along Taylor Lake Rd & Pine Ln to Bloom Rd. Getting thin on 10E on the trail after crossing Bloom Rd. Back in the woods still snow cover to Loon Lake Rd. Alt 13S and 10W/13N both snow covered. Both directions. Woods riding was & is the best with much more snow and trails are GOOD. Trails along roads and crossings and wide open areas are thin, soft & sloppy. The new snow will fix this.
Time to ride right now. It’s March & temps rise to the 30’s during the day. Going down into the low 20’s & teens at night which is holding the snow.
Groom will resume tonight.
With the number of accidents & fatalities this season remind you:
When you come upon a group of sleds in front of you on the trail. Passing them can get you in trouble. Have been seeing this all winter. When an entire group passes, by the time the last sled passes, a sled could be coming from the other direction.
Remember as you ride & meet a groomer the equipment is NOT able to leave the trail due to it’s weight. Pull over & stop. Wait for direction from the driver. Give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!
Please ride on the right side, slow down, limit alcohol & no off trail riding.
Take The Pledge, Protect Snowmobile Trails, Ride Only Where It’s Legal
THINK COLD!!! Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!
It’s March & we’re still riding! See ya on the trails!

Snowmobile Information:
Ok, so warm weekend and heavy traffic, but Hornshoe trails are going the distance like Rocky with Apollo Creed. ( Had to do laundry today, and it was on.) 17 from Mattke Rd to F is the worst. The sun has shood that up pretty good, but you can dart about and find snow. The trail that runs along F should be on a Hallmark card-it’s perfect. 17 North of F is good. Around Raven Lake in the clover leaf, some corners have ice, as do a few areas on the straightaway the sun can pounce on, but it is holding. Trail 5 into the casino is great – not as pristine as F trail, but close. 17 North from 5 is good, but mushy. Up in the Powell Marsh, there is good snow yet, with the exception of 150 yards or so fore and aft of the bridge. All bare. The bridge deck has a loose section of rubber sticking out. There is a solid path in the marsh around that area. Trail 1, Stearns Lake Road and East Boundary, I think are pretty good yet. No eyes on target today, but they were still very solid Friday night. Snow started about ten tonight, and the ground is white. Forecast is still for 4-6″ for today, since it is 12:01 now. High of 34 Monday, cloudy, 38 Tuesday, with Sun, but low 17. 35/20 Wednesday with clouds and snow-.5″. 31/24 Thursday with clouds and snow-.5-1″. 28/25 Friday with clouds, and weather and radar says 5-10″ snow. Heavens to Mergatroid, we are game on for another weekend? Let’s hope so. Mark

Riding in the woods fantastic
Great to be riding in March! Today & tomorrow’s warm up will cause the SNOW to soften up. Riding along roads & open areas will burn down. Woods riding has more SNOW & should be Good & even better. SNOW moving in tonight. Forecast is 4-6 inches but with the temps up I think it might be more like 3-4 inches.
Time to ride it when we got it! Going out today riding. Report tomorrow.

Area Report:
Between the sun and the traffic, some areas have taken a beating. One minute you are on the dirt base, then you are into the moguls. Some of the lesser traveled trails groomed in nicely last night. The heavily traveled trail 8 along Hwy K west of town did not groom in nicely. I tried smoothing it out, making 3 passes at different times, the moguls were back after several sleds went over it.
With another warm day in store for today, trail conditions are going to change quickly. Ride Right and Ride Safely.

March riding can be the best but you have to ride it when we have the SNOW. Today & tomorrow’s warm up will cause the SNOW to soften up. Riding along roads & open areas will burn down. Woods riding has more SNOW & should be Good.
Forecast has SNOW Sunday evening & Monday. 3-4 inches is forecast. 40 today & tomorrow and 30’s rest of the week during the day. 20’s or teens at night. It’s March. Again ride it when we got it.
