Long term forecast potentially looks good to me. Let all the negative Nellies stay home! Better trails for the rest of us!!!

Just rode 130 miles. Mostly flat and like concrete. Any trail on a road is shot. Bearskin is shot. Some snow and they would be pretty good.

We're up in Conover , we rode over the Still Waters yesterday and was very thin in the corners then headed N and seemed to get a lot better , will be heading to Bents Camp today maybe even head up into the UP if needed , talking with Guys in Still Waters they came out of St G and said is was rough to get around that area , if they get the snow they’re suppose to get the trails will be in great shape

Please report on what you see heading to Bents Camp, and what trails used, if possible. (13N...6W...5 ect.) I'll be heading up that way next weekend. Thanks

Rode SG today. Trails in town I’d give a 3-4 trails in woods 8-9. Thought about not coming up and glad I choose to come up. We(my 16 year old and I) we’re out on sleds for almost 12 hours. Meals included. Just stay off the direct route trails and it’s a lot of fun. Look what I’ve done! Given away my secrets! Lol

I find this to be 100% accurate. Bearskin was pure dirt coming over the bridge into Minocqua.

Northwest in the Willow region was pretty good. Area needs a few inches of snow for sure.

If they get the snow that JD is forecasting then they’ll be in great condition ! But we rode back from Bents camp on Sat after the radar run and the corners where junk...

Temps at 35-37, Fri - Sat, and this snow looking like a fizzler....I'm canceling next weekend trip for ER.

Still considering it....but don't like the 35-37 degree highs on Saturday, with snow late on Sat. night, which may or may not do me any good. Forecasts all over the place

Major disappointment they didn't get the snow. :( Rode from Friday-Monday, out of town trails were icy but rideable, close to town in Mercer was....not good. Grade was a gravel path.

Nothing but negative coming from this dude! Lol.

Rode through the area west of Minoqua and north of Willow on Sunday, and it was EXCELLENT. Corridor 10 and all the offshoots were in great shape. It was pretty thin around Willow, and of course in town around Minoqua, but there was enough that our sleds never overheated. Bearskin was pretty toasted, but again, we never overheated.

A couple inches and the trails will be in good shape...kinda hoping they get the Thursday night snow...I might come up for one last shot.

Heard Minocqua got 2-3" yesterday but have not heard if it was enough to help with road routes and the Bearskin...I too am looking at Thursday's forecast.

I was hoping one last trip the following weekend. Still far enough out to turn out better. If not, then I guess I am done after just one trip this year. In honesty, they got snow before Christmas. Then only a couple times after and even a few warm days, and it was pretty rideable since New Years. They did a great job all things considered
