Snow Cover: Base is 3 inches.

Date of Report: February 23, 2018

Area Report:

Warm during the day and cold at night, though trails are still in good shape. Groomers going out late at night and early morning. Supposed to get some snow Thursday night late and Saturday night, too.

We have a newly-plowed parking area at the beginning of Trail #8 under the International Bridge, which now has an all-season porta-john.

If you are staying in the Sault, please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!

Remember, trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below, not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less than an inch on the trail.

We cannot stress enough to RIDE SAFELY and RESPONSIBLY. Trail conditions will vary greatly throughout the County. Always use caution when riding on lakes and frozen water as ice conditions will vary.

Trail Report – : Washburn County, Wisconsin – February 23, 2018

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 5-10 inch base

Date of Report: February 23, 2018

Area Report:

All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in good condition with a 6 to 10 inch base. Thursday evening brought a fresh 4 to 6 inches of powder – the new snow is a great addition to the already good base and the forecast is calling for more snow over the weekend! The base might be a little slim at road crossings as we had a snowy dirt mixture before the new snow. Always use caution on the trails as volunteers are out grooming the trails to keep up with all the new snow we’ve received, please note that some of the trails may not be groomed yet due to the timing of the snow fall. Enjoy the trails!

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – February 23, 2018

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 26 inches (+\-) in the woods

Date of Report: February 23, 2018

Area Report:

The area received from 6 to 9 inches of white gold. We have been out and panned down this gift from God! Until we go over it at least one more time, it may not be quite set up as good as we like it. So with traffic today, expect a few bumps to develop. We will be out again tonight and that should set things up better for the rest of the weekend. We will be grooming the entire weekend. There could still be icy corners, so please – as you always should anyway – ride with caution.

With the added weight of the new snow on the ice, slush pockets could develop on the lakes, as the ice is forced down and water comes up through cracks.

News and Reports:

There are logging operations in the following locations: Trail 9 between Hwy 70 (TIN 364) and Ross Lake Rd (TIN 225). There is also logging in the Jean Lake Rd area of Trail 7 North, between TINS 227 & 800. The logging, in this area, should be in the woods away from the trail.

(TIN = Trail Intersection Numbers)

Please watch out for logging areas. Slow down and stay out of the way of the loggers. DO NOT hassle the loggers. They have the right to close down sections of any trail they are logging near or using. If they get hassled too much, that is exactly what they will do – shut that trail down. The logging operations can run at anytime of the day or night. Loggers use some of the trails to drive in and out. So please be watchful in logging areas for trucks on the trail. Logging operations in any of these areas can start and/or stop without warning. So even if you ride in an area and there was nothing going on one day – it can start back up the next day.

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 23, 2018

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12 inches

Date of Report: February 23, 2018

Area Report:

Trail report for February 23, 2018, Good condition. We got a few inches of snow last night so we should be able to go out and groom and lay out a nice trail. The trails are still very thin. We should be out grooming our trails all weekend. The corners can be very bare and icy and the active logging areas have very little snow. Logging equipment can be on the snowmobile trail at any time so use caution. If you see a groomer on the trail, please take all directions from the groomer. They are out there to make the trail better for you so give them a break. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.
