Area Report:
Trail report for February 17, 2020 – Trails are good. The present temp in Boulder Junction this morning is 8 above zero. The rest of the day we could get temps in the low 30’s. The groomers were out last night and laid out a nice flat trail. With the subzero temps in the early morning the trail stiffens up and will stay smoother longer. We are expecting some more snow later today but looks like only a couple of inches. We could really use more snow to freshen up our trails. The corners and other areas can be bare and icy. Use caution. I would like to thank Chef Jesse and Chef Jimmy Dean and their crew for hosting the breakfast fundraiser at the Boulder Beer Bar Sunday. I also like to thank all the helpers and everyone that supported and made this event so successful. It was a great breakfast spread! Stay on marked trails! Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Area Report:
Warm temps and a chance of rain today have closed our trails. Now we wait to see if we get another chance at opening them back up. But that will definitely require more snow and colder weather. A big thank you to all of our volunteers in clubs and the groomer drivers who logged a lot of hours to give us a couple good days of riding.

Area Report:
Trails continue to get look great each week. All of the groomers are out on their nightly runs. There is little to no slush on the lakes.
The road crossings and routes are getting thin, but manageable.
Really is a good time to get out and ride.

Good – Some ice under looser SNOW
Heavy traffic over the weekend
President’s Day brings a pop up in temps. High of 32 today with a 15 tonight. SNOW moving in this afternoon into tonight. Forecast totals of 1-3 inches of SNOW. After SNOW moves through temps will drop down into the teens during the day until Friday. Below zero or near below zero at night until Friday.
Groomer Tracking Systems (GTS Trails) reports shows almost all trails were groomed in the last 24 hours. Here are the small sections not groomed in the last 24 hours.
ALL OTHER TRAILS WERE GROOMED
Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked. Can’t confirm myself but no reports of surface slush. Eagle Lake a little chop but nothing bad. Icy with blow off of snow in some sections. Please slow down.
With the heavy traffic there are areas that are rough. Found under the SNOW cover is ice so it can be squirrelly. Sled can dart around. Both in the front & back. All in all found trails in GOOD shape. Traffic today should not be as heavy but please stay on the right not only in the corners but on straight aways & hills.
Looks like SNOW today but….KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!!
See you on the trails!

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers
Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 5 to 6 inches on the trail
Date of Report: February 14, 2020
Area Report:
Our trails continue to be in mostly good condition. Most corners are very icy so caution is advised. We really need a good 4 to 6 inches of heavy snow. We are having a lot of heavy traffic this season, so by later afternoon, the trails are very rough. However, we will be out every night to smooth them out again for the following day. The earlier the bird gets the smoothest trails!
PLEASE continue to stay by the markers on lake crossings. Do NOT trust the ice anywhere else on the lake.
