Snowmobile Information:
Gadzooks there were a lot of snowmobiles this weekend. Hornshoe, trails are in overall good condition. Groomer Mike reported there are some icy spots in the Raven lake area, and due to the strange sleet we had yesterday morning, didn’t all fill in but overall there’s plenty of snow. The trail along Highway F is in amazing shape. 17, the grade, is in good condition from Woodruff all the way up to H. There is still snow all the way up to where Mercer takes over just on the edge of the Powell marsh, but there is gravel showing in spots between the bridge and the Mercer line, and it’s thin around the bridge out in the middle of the marsh. Trail 5 into the casino is good. As of this morning, everything is groomed, and it is currently 12°. Hopefully it sets up well, but the areas that are prone to potholes tend to open up with heavy traffic. Some new snow would be nice, the heavy traffic tends to make the snow a little sugary. The MS riders will be staying at the casino this weekend starting Thursday. There are hundreds of riders that take donations for MS in order to ride. Northern Hornshoe club is cooking up food and activities for them this coming Friday. Anyone interested in volunteering to help can show up at our groomer shed on Friday morning at 8 AM. The groomer shed is located at the Lac du Flambeau transfer station on Highway H. Should be another busy weekend for the trail system. Ride, safe, respect and appreciate our landowners, and thank our sponsors. Mark
