GREAT news – no mechanical issues to report!!! We had a great week and all of our trails have been groomed.

We will be on a regular schedule for the weekend with all trails being groomed daily!!!

President/Trail Boss Denny signed on the dotted line and we (and the bank – LOL) now officially own 2 track machines. We are crossing our fingers that the perfect storm of mechanical and other issues we suffered last month are nothing more than a bad memory!!!

EAGLE RIVERS  TRAILS
On average GOOD with VERY GOOD 

March 9 2019 6:36am  – 15  – High 35

Warm temps & sunny yesterday have dropped the SNOW levels but there is still plenty of SNOW.  Also SNOW has softened up especially in the open areas.  Temps up again today & cloudy.  Tonight new SNOW moving in.  Forecast is for 3 to 5 inches of SNOW. With maybe an inch more on Sunday.  Forecast cloudy now until Tuesday.  Temps high during the day & moving to cold over night Sunday through Tuesday.

As for trail conditions. Trails are filled with plenty of SNOW.  Not any “fighting” your sled when riding.  Corners are in many sections piled high with loose SNOW. Have not seen iciness at the bottom of the corners but with the sun probably are some.  Icy conditions on sections of the road trails.  SNOW has softened up. With the temps up & the heavy amount of sand, salt & brine on the trails the crossing are soft & there is water on the actual roads as you cross.  Have not seen snirt beyond that.

All in all it’s really GOOD to VERY GOOD riding out there.  If you are riding sure you noticed that Trail 17N is sitting very high up.  Same with sections of 10E.  Please read the important updates for more info.  As of yesterday even with the sun mush at the crossings was minimal.   Please stay on your side of the trail.

Grooming again last night. The gts.groomertrackingsystem shows most trails groomed.  Here are the trails NOT groomed:

10E to include Chanticleer Inn & 9 mile trails
Grampa Graham trail aka 1S
Uncle Kent’s trails

Everything else groomed.

These important updates continue:

There is 1 logging operations going on where there is a need to use parts of the trails. Trail 13N by Deep Lake Rd. Plus utility work on 7 near Sugar Camp on the high line.

The snowbanks at driveway crossing & road crossings are still high. Road crews are still out winging road banks.  Expect some blocked road & driveway crossings.  Please stop & cross with caution.

Still seeing some signs buried in the deep SNOW.  

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Lakes are drifted & lots & lots of slush under the SNOW especially on Catfish Lake.  Drifting on Eagle Lake is much worse than on Catfish Lake.

The 2 one-way trail areas are 10E from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart.  The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area.  Please be aware that for now signs will be buried in many locations.  PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK A MAP SO YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF THESE TRAILS.

Get out & ride it is great out there!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – March 8, 2019

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 35-45 inches

Date of Report: March 8, 2019

Area Report:

Trail report for March 8, 2019– Trails are very good. It is currently about 12 Deg below zero. There may be an increase in temperature during the next few days. We are expecting a snow storm over the weekend and we will have to wait to see how much snow we get. With all this snow we have we should have very nice trails until the end of the month. The snowmobile trails will close March 31, 2019! The groomers were out last night and early this morning. With the cold weather at night the trails stiffen up and stay flatter longer. We expect increased traffic over the weekend so watch out for other riders. The snow on the trails is very clean and has decreased melting to a minimum on the bright sunny days. Please stay on marked trails. Use caution at road crossings. The snow banks are very high, and visibility is very low.  Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.
