I don't think those pages get updated very often.
Also, you have to translate. For the Badger trail its says:
--
"The 34-mile section of the trail from Purcell Road in Fitchburg to
the Illinois border is open for winter use.
The 6-mile paved section from Madison to Purcell Road is closed to
snowmobile and ATV use."
--
Translation:
winter use == snowmobiles only.
the northern section is unplowed, hence unusable by anyone
except for those with snowshoes.
Too bad, because the badger trail makes a convenient route to Lacy road.

Quoting "Ross, Arthur" <[email protected]>:
I am not sure how frequently it is updates, but check the trail
conditions web page at
http://new.dnr.wi.gov/Default.aspx?Page=7506aaa5-fcff-4073-8b07-5cab523ed003
For some reason the Capital City is not listed on this page, but the
Badger Trail is.
Here is the current conditions link for the DNRs page for the
Capital City Trail.
There are contact phone and e-mail on the main trail page.

Capital City State Trail Conditions
Conditions as of Friday, February 4, 2011:
The Capital City State Trail is open year-round.
The trail is usually plowed within 24 hours of snowfall, but due to
the heavy amounts of snow this week, larger equipment will need to
brought in to clear the trail. As of this morning [note the date
above - Feb 4], the trail has not been plowed.
A volunteer has graciously agreed to plow the Capital City State
Trail in the winter. The volunteer also operates his own plowing
business, which means in turn the plowing of the trail comes after
he has tended to his business.
