Trail Updates -- Posted on Wednesday, March 5 2008

The warm weather and the rain did some real damage, but only to certain areas. The Lake Namakagon Area and to the East are still in good condition. Trail 70 from the lake to Cable is 50% ice and dirt making it impossible to groom, but is still considered ride able. Trail 15 from Telemark to Grand View is in fair condition with a few bare spots but still ride able. Light snow is in the forecast for today, Thursday, and Saturday. There is still lots of snowmobile activity happening in the Cable Area this weekend, so put the sleds on the trailer and head north!

Lots to do in Cable this weekend! -- Posted on Friday, February 29 2008

There are three different snowmobile races in the Cable Area this weekend, plus lots of great trails, could make for a great long weekend getaway!

Trail Report! -- Posted on Wednesday, February 20 2008

The Cable Area snowmobile trails are in very good condition. We recieved 3 to 4 inches of snow this past weekend making the conditions very nice. This weekend in the Cable Area we host the American Birkebeiner Cross Country Ski Race so lodgining will be hard to find. The trails will be almost untouched this weekend so early next week riding will be great! Come up for mid-week rates and have the trails to yourself!

New Snow! -- Posted on Tuesday, February 5 2008

The Cable Area received 3 to 4 inches of snow the past two days. Trails are reported to be in great condition! Groomers have hit the trails as well making riding even more enjoyable. The local weather forecast calls for temperatures to be in the high twenties to mid teens. Snow is forecasted again for Tuesday and Thursday. Rider Tip: The best riding is usually on week days, plan your trip to the Cable Area now!

Unpredictable Ice Storm hurts the Cable Area -- Posted on Tuesday, January 29 2008

The Cable Area had a very warm weekend along with an unpredictable ice storm. The trails have been downgraded to fair condition. Trails are 90% covered with snow or ice. Everything is very icy but with a few inches of snow, they could be in great condition again. The local weather forecast calls for extremely cold temperatures and 50% chance of snow accumulation of 2-3 inches for Wednesday and next Monday.

Trail Condition -- Posted on Friday, January 25 2008

Snowmobile trails in the Cable Area are still in good condition. Groomers are trying to groom every other day. There is a 5 to 6 inch solid base with a few bare spots on hills and some ice in the corners. Lakes are reported to have frozen moguls and bumpy. Weather conditions call for a chance of snow on Sunday night and Monday.

Snowmobile Trails are GREAT! -- Posted on Monday, January 14 2008

Snowmobiling in the Cable Area is GREAT! The Namakagon Trail Groomers have done a fantastic job at grooming our trail system. Riders have reported our trail systems to be some of the best riding they’ve had in a long time. Trails have a 6 or 8 inch solid packed base and all area lakes are completely frozen with no slush. Riders are cautioned to be careful on Lake Namakagon due to frozen moguls and on trail corners. Temperatures this week are forecasted to be very cold and below zero at times. If you plan on riding be prepared for frigid temperatures.

Keep doing your snow dance! -- Posted on Monday, January 7 2008

Due to unseasonably warm weather in the past few days, snow on the trails has been compacted. Don’t fret too much; this could be a good thing! The temperatures are dropping again meaning the snow that we do have will become a great base! Each day this week, the local weather calls for a slight chance of snow showers. Everyone keep doing the snow dance and you’ll be in the Cable Area riding again in no time!
