Trail Reports

Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance asks that you stay off trails

Trail Report

With the Rain coming this afternoon, Cross Country Cruiser groomed all trails last night and this morning making them smooth and flat.  Our Trail Manager and Operators are asking Snowmobilers to stay off the trails until they freeze up.  This will allow the base to freeze flat. Once the trails freeze and set up, we will be good to go.

Thank you, Think SNOW ***  Stay Safe and Ride RIGHT! (more…)

Trail Report 2.09.23

As of 2-09-23 the trails are holding up just fine, yes there was some melting but we still have awesome trails. The following are the trails we rode this morning:
47/W in good shape with moguls in the usual spots by the bridge.
51/17 trail headed towards Arbor Vitae were in good shape, the turns were flat with few spots of ice showing.
6/3 were in awesome shape!!! Nice and flat and little to no ice showing.
10-51N towards Hornwinkles, a few moguls in the usual spots but otherwise in great shape!
That’s all I have for now. The consensus is we are in great shape, even after all the warm weather. Grooming will restart tonight with all trails getting groomed by early am tomorrow.
Ride safe and ride right, most of all have fun!!!

Keith making the Bearskin GREAT!

All trails are in good shape, they are flat even on the turns. Our groomer operators Jerry, Don, Jim, Chris, and Dennis groomed our trails late last night and early this morning. There reports were all the same, flat and rock hard. With this evaluation please, please, drive careful because they will be icy in the turns and on the hills. Please stay on the trails!!!! Trespassing will result in citations!!! Have a great weekend, ride right and ride safe!

Stay On The Trail…….

Stay on the trail or stay home…how many times have we heard that message?
Well, apparently not often enough, or not by everybody. Off trail riding impacts all of us when a few bad actors
cost all the good riders trail access.
And now it is happening here, to the Cross Country Cruisers.
Significant, repeated off trail riding on private property is about to cost all of us trail access from the 47 trail to
Stack’s Bay on Lake Minocqua. Needless to say this would have a major impact on snowmobiling in the
Minocqua, Woodruff and Arbor Vitae area.
Steps are happening now to shut down this access. The Cruisers is working to keep the access open but we may
not be successful. We will keep you all posted.
Riding off marked trail on any land is trespassing. If you are caught our club will work with authorities to
prosecute to the full extent of the law.
If you witness off trail riding, report it to proper authorities. Take a picture of the offending riders. Be a
responsible rider and help keep trail access available for the good riders!
We will keep you updated, and communicate developments as we can.
