Yea Paul I keep hoping a system snow will come thru the Northwoods drop a bunch of snow to make the trails rideable. Vilas groomers can do a lot with a little but need a decent base to get started. If WI can get a decent snowfall it will help out the UP and ease the crush on the UP snowbelts. Hopefully Vilas doesn’t open with nothing but snirt imo that would piss off a lot of snow chasers thinking open means good.
Agree Hermie, need the big one!
Living in Phelps for 16 years I know the pressure to open the trails will be immense as Xmas nears. I had my places to ride in early conditions lakes and FRs but sometimes getting there conditions were really bad. I think trails will open before Xmas and sled rentals will be rented due to pent up demand. The renter really doesn’t care goes home with rosey cheeks and big smiles thinks snirt conditions are normal. I agree no weekend riding just wait it out.
Same here in Oneida....dreary, wet....YUCK!!...but there is hope...colder weather on the way, and the potential for a couple of inches of snow through Wednesday, and now looking better for an a decent Alberta Clipper for the end of the week (4 plus inches possible in areas)
Hate to be a Debbie downer but don’t look at a 10 day extended forecast… things look great the rest of this week once we get thru today, but after Xmas looks like 4-5 days of a repeat of today
Yeah unfortunately climate prediction center forecast is absolutely terrible for snow lovers. We could be starting from scratch if it pans out to be accurate. Unfortunately more times then not they are pretty accurate as an overall trend.
Definitely need to see a change in those temperatures after Christmas. Otherwise nobody will be riding.
