Trail and Snow Report….Did Some Riding Today! Sunday, February 12th, 2012 (7:08 pm)

Took a ride earlier today to give the trails a check. Where they were in the open, they were icy and showing skirt and dirt in some places. The trail for just the stretch along Otsego Lake was just terrible. However, where the trails ran through the woods and in protected areas, well, they weren’t too bad at all. So, as it would be difficult to rate the system as a whole, I would say the open areas are in poor condition but I would rate the protected parts of the system as fair to good. I was pleasantly surprised to find that today on the ride. I’m looking at 23.9 degrees right now here at Heart Lake just south of Gaylord by about eight miles. If you ever need more information or an honest trail report whether you’re staying with us or not, or, even if you need a place to stay, please feel free to call. Thank You.

Trail #9 to Pine Stump Jct/Holland Lake staging area is in fair to good condition. The trail from town to 6 miles north is in poor condition then it improves to fair condition to County Rd. #498 then conditions improve to good up to Holland Lake Staging area.

Groomer Lou groomed Trail #45 to the Falls, he reports a good trail on the grade with dirt mixing in with the snow after you get on camp 7 Rd.

Trail #2/9 toRexton, Trout Lake and Eppoufette is in fair to good condition over all, with a 2 to 3" base. There is ice around the airport.

There is logging on Trail #45 North of Skyline Dr. for 4 to 5 miles.

Logging on Trail #498 North of Co. Rd. 455, be careful in these areas, as the trail may be plowed.

It has come to my attention that there is no fuel symbol on the snowmobile trail map for the North Store. The North Store is located at Wolf Inn Jct. They are open from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.

We need more snow! And cold weather.

TASA is in need of a snowmobile for checking trail conditions, and get to broke down groomers out on the trail. We would prefer a 2 up. Please contact us at sledding@tasatrails.com

The cerfew for the Village of Newberry is 11:00 P.M. until 7:00 A.M.

FYI: There will not be gas at Rainbow Lodge this year as they are closing for the winter. There is a gas pump logo on the trail map, but they will be CLOSED. The map is new for this year,and I recieved the information about Rainbow Lodge after the maps went to the printer.
