**NORTHWOODS PASSAGE SNOWMOBILE CLUB:
Update as of February 26, 2010
All Northwoods Passage Trail Systems are open.
Trail conditions are widely varied. There are bare spots where the sun hit anything dark. Roads, shoulders, and sloped areas that face south have lost most of the snow. Wooded trails and those with less traffic are still in good condition.
Groomers have dragged as many of the trails as possible to get ready for the weekend.
We need snow and clouds to keep the sun off the trails.
Watch the signs and follow marked trails.

**HODAG SNO-TRAILS CLUB, RHINELANDER:
Update as of February 23, 2010
Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: varying inches
Area Report: The trails took a pretty good hit with the sun last weekend. There are some icy corners. There will be some snirty areas around town and where the sun can hit them. The trails in the woods are still in good shape. Don't waste an opportunity to go for a ride. You will encounter a few thin areas and icy corners, but still rideable conditions out there.
Please keep an eye out for the groomers. Most of the grooming is done in the evening, but there are times they are out during the day. There is some utility work being completed near the trail on the west side of Rhinelander. Please slow down in the work zone.
Let's all do our part and stay on the marked trails.
If you are not a member of a snowmobile club, please join. All of the local clubs could use the support. All clubs need the support of the snowmobiling community to keep our trail system in the best shape possible.
