Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 7, 2018

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12 inches

Date of Report: February 7, 2018

Area Report:

Trail report for February 7, 2018, Good condition. With the continued sub-zero temps the trails have remained in pretty good shape. We sure could use some more snow. Our groomers have been grooming and the trails are nice and flat. The corners are getting very icy and bare. There is very little snow in the active logging operations and logging equipment can be on the trail at any time. Please stay on marked trails. When you see a groomer try to get off the trail completely and take all directions from the groomer driver. There is not much snow in the forecast for the rest of the week but with the cold weather it will not degrade our trails to badly. Please pray for snow and do your snow dance. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.
