Trail Report – : Sugar Camp, Wisconsin – February 2, 2022

Reporter:Matt Winters

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 20″-24″

Date of Report: February 2, 2022

Area Report:

Trails have been in good condition this week. There’s a few choppy spots, some icy corners, and a few spots that are a little thin on snow but the majority of them are in very good condition. Cold conditions the rest of this week should help keep them in good condition thru the weekend. Please be careful on the corners, there are a lot of corners that have skinned up trees and plastic parts laying next to them this year and not one of them are on the icy corners. We really do not want to see anyone get hurt. Be safe and have fun.

Snow Cover: 12″-18″

Date of Report: February 2, 2022

Trails are holding up great considering the lack of new snow.  Groomer operators are doing the best with what they have to work with.  Cold temps for the next few days and a warm-up by mid next week.  There is snirt at the road crossing and plenty of snow in the woods.  Phelps trails are being grommed almost nightly and are in good to excellent condition.  Please keep to the right on the trails and stay on the trails.  It’s time to bring back the old AWSC saying, “Stay on the Trails, They Never Fail”  Enjoy your time in the Phelps area and support our sponsers.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Wednesday, 2/2/22:

It’s 0 degrees out this morning with bright sunny skies. Cooler temps and minimal snow is predicted up through the weekend.

With very little new snow in a while, our trails are starting to wear down. The road routes are still in very good condition, but our wooded trails are getting thin on the inside of the corners and have developed moguls on some of our trails, especially 15S and 2W/8W going out of town.

Due to the lack of recent snow, we are scaling down some of our grooming. Last night we groomed 15N, 8W to Day Lake Road, and 2W to Keego Road. This morning, we groomed 15S and 8E to Nixon Lake Road.

That being said, our trails are still in good riding condition. Our club is doing a club ride today to Land O’ Lakes and will  report on the condition of the trails on our next trail report.

Enjoy our trails, be safe, and check for an updated report on Friday, 2/4//22.

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – February 2, 2022

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4 – 10 inches

Date of Report: February 2, 2022

Area Report:

 

Conditions across the county are varied. Not much for fresh snow so the best riding remains in the North Central part of the county. Those trails are in excellent condition. The rest of the county needs some fresh snow so our groomers can work their magic and get the trails in tip top shape. The trail to the casino is officially open which is great news. 

 

Some trouble spots to note: 

  • The Wally Polk Trail/Trail 40 near Port Wing and Herbster is closed. Flag road is a suitable re-route. 

 

Namakagon Trail Groomers: Our trails are holding steady with a 2-4″ base but a lot of them are ‘snirt” (snow & dirt). We’ve had very heavy traffic and haven’t received any new snow. We need snow!! Trails are mostly fair condition ~ some fair to good. And still having rocks exposed due to low snow conditions. 

 

Barnes Barnestormers: Barnes trails are still holding up, would rate as fair. Thin base, snirt and bare spots. We are still grooming, the cold weather has helped. 

 

Iron River: Iron River area trails 3 and 31 north of highway 2 are in very good shape. Trails 22, 24 and 31 south of Highway 2 are in nfairly good shape but are lacking snow. Trail 4 from tri-county corridor to Delta is ok shape but mocha colored with lots of dirt and leaves. Trail 4 from Delta to Mason in nice shape but lacks snow in the field portions 

 

Washburn Valhallers: Trails in the Vahalla area and north continue to be in excellent condition. We continue to groom two shifts a day six days a week. Trails out of Washburn are being groomed all week.  Trail 13, 33, 31 and 63 near the Valhalla area are holding up good with no bare spots.  Snow is thinning so some larger holes are not filling as easily.  Trail 13 into Washburn and Ashland is a bit thinner but still very ridable.  Warmer temps for the weekend should make another great riding weekend. 

 

South Shore: All south shore trails will be groomed by Wednesday and are fair to very 
good condition. Snow is thin by the lake.
