Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – January 26, 2022

Trail Conditions: Unknown

Snow Cover: 9-10 inches

Date of Report: January 26, 2022

Area Report:

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Wednesday, 1/26/22:

It was 20 below zero this morning and light snow forecast for later tonight.
Due to the extreme cold, we only groomed trail 15N last night and didn’t groom our early morning routes this morning.
Later today, we are changing out the 2 front Souchy tracks on our John Deere 7230 tractor and we won’t be back to our regular daily grooming schedule until Thursday.
With the colder temps, our trails have held up well with the exception of trail 15S which has a section of moguls that develop daily.
Enjoy our trails, be safe, and check for an updated report on Friday, 1/28/22.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – January 26, 2022

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 7 inch hard base – crunchy snow – Need more fresh SNOW

Date of Report: January 26, 2022

Area Report:

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS
ON AVERAGE FAIR to GOOD
Need Fresh SNOW

January 26, 2022 – 7:23 am 22 below zero – High of 8 today

Somebody left the freezer door open again!  22 below this morning  So if you’re riding dress warm. Included sub zero rated boots & gloves. Fully charged phone in an inside pocket. Take the charger along.  Stop more often.  Warm non alcohol drinks. Tell someone where you plan to ride.

Plans of riding today are scrapped.  Did talk to riders & checked trails, yes by car.  Hard base is icy in spots especially corners & open areas. Snow on top is crunchy so it’s fast (slippery).  Recommend slowing down.  Trails on northside of roads like 10E one way heading toward Eagle River & 17N north along Hwy 45N & 70W along Hwy 70E have areas of just forming snirt.  Too much sun causing that.  Especially under the big pines. Most roads are ice covered. All the riders told riding was pretty GOOD just we need new SNOW.  Traffic has slowed down but remember to Ride Right to be safe especially in the corners.

The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows NO grooming Eagle River last night.  

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN.  To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels.  DO NOT think the entire lake is safe.  There have been several sleds going into the water this winter.  ALL were no where near a trail or the barrels.

Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions.  Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com 

Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!  Need fresh SNOW

See ya on the trails!!

January 25, 2022 – 7:45 am 9 below zero – High of 3 today

Somebody left the freezer door open!  It 9 below this morning & will only get to 3.  So if you’re riding dress warm. Fully charge phone in an inside pocket. Stop more often.

As for the trails really no change at all. Could use some fresh snow. As it’s crusty out there.  Corners are icy. Didn’t ride yesterday.  Probably won’t today as it’s a tad bit too cold.  Riding tomorrow for sure and will get you a detail riding report. Heading east on 10E working our way toward Phelps tomorrow then come into Eagle River using Trail 17N.  Will run Catfish & maybe Eagle to let know the conditions.

  • Trail 10W/13N –  From the groomer barns in Eagle River across from Derby Track north all the way to the Wisconsin River Bridge section.
  • Wisconsin River Bridge section west to the 10W/13N intersection.
  • 10W – West toward Sayner.  To include grooming 7S.

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN.  To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels.  DO NOT think the entire lake is safe.  There have been several sleds going into the water this winter.  ALL were not where near a trail.

Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions.  Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com
