Trail Report – : Phelps, Wisconsin – January 19, 2020

Reporter:Phelps Snowmobile Club

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 24″ to 30″

Date of Report: January 19, 2020

Area Report:

Trails are in great conditions.  We picked up another couple inches of lake effect snow last night.  Still receiving some snow showers today.  With a great base and now fresh powder for cooling and for slide rails, its a great time to ride.  The next few days has highs in the upper teens.  Temps are expected to rise as the week goes on to upper 20’s to low 30’s.  More snow in the forecast later in the week.  Grooming was done last night.  All detours are gone.  The only area not groomed is on trail 6 east of Phelps due to soft soil condition that can’t quite yet support the groomer.  Hopefully soon.

This week Tuesday club ride will be Boulder Junction.  Please meet downtown at 9:00 a.m.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – January 18, 2020

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10+/- inches on the trail

Date of Report: January 18, 2020

Area Report:

Our trails continue to be in excellent conditions at the start of each day. We do have very heavy traffic this weekend and it steadily takes a toll on conditions as the day goes on. But we will be out again each night to smooth things over again!!!

More good news: Plum and Star Lakes are marked. Also – Lost Lake has been marked. As always: DO NOT cross any lake that is NOT marked. Especially this year, when crossing a marked lake: STAY BY THE MARKERS!!! Venturing out onto unmarked parts of any lake is beyond dangerous due to uneven ice making conditions this season.
