Trail Reports

Trail Report January 8 2019 Conditions Good We picked up 5 inches of heavy wet snow yesterday followed by light rain, these temps show that it should be a great weekend for riding as the trails will setup nicely. Trails have a solid base and we continue to get out and groom. There are still some wet areas but overall the system is in good condition.  All trails listed below have been groomed with tractors and are fair to good condition: Trail 17 N S Trail 51 E to MW Trail 19 to J from Lazy Ace Trail 12 a b Trail 10 to both sides of swamp Trail 8 a to and from Bass Lake Rd Trail 10 E and 8 Trail 19 and 20 Trail 19 North of Cedar Lake Rd is done logging but not being groomed yet Trail 182 still needs some more work 14 and 9c are plowed and will not be groomed by us this year Trail 12 not groomed due to open water

Conditions: Fair to Good

Trails held up very well through the heavy traffic over the weekend. Groomers were out all day yesterday getting the trails flattened from a very busy week in the Northwoods. We still have some trails that need some work but overall conditions are fair to good. Of course as always as of late we need to watch the forecast as this weekend we are expecting unseasonably warm temps. Be safe and let’s ride!

Trail Report
December 22, 2018
Conditions: Poor

We have received flurries for the last couple days but nothing substantial. We got out and rode yesterday, we found the grade (Trail 17) had a solid base, no rocks, gravel, or dirt showing anywhere. However, it is froze solid with minimal snow to cool down the machine. Once we got to 3-10 Rd the snow amounts did pick up and White Thunder Riders of northern Iron County were out grooming last night. In short you can use the grade to go north but the riding in Mercer now is poor. We only need 4-6 inches of good snow to get out and do some grooming, let’s keep watching the forecast and as conditions change we will let you know ASAP. FYI we closed a section of Trail 19 from Cedar Lake Rd to the Winchester Grade for logging. It is really wet in there and the logger needs to use the trail. We will let you know as soon as they are done 1-2 weeks.

Conditions: Poor

The warm up hit us hard last weekend, we had a lot of melting and lost a lot of snow. The grade held up well as it is packed solid but basically a sheet of ice. At this point we cannot open any additional trails, but Trail 17 (the grade) remains open. There is some hope as John Dee is forecasting we might see some accumulations in the next week. Let’s all hope for snow!
