Hello Riders!

As each week passes with great riding the season seems to be flying by! Another great weekend keeps the groomers rolling and us locals on our toes and we love it! As Sunday and Monday approaches each week the groomers go out into the wee hours hitting the trails hard and smoothing them back out for the week and upcoming weekend and that is the case again this week. Groomers started Sunday night and have been going ever since so most trails have been groomed. Reports are coming in that the trails are very good to excellent! The southern part of the county in the Flambeau and Tuscobia area are reported to be excellent! Trails in the center of the county and to the north have been reported to be very good to great! The trails are hard and smooth. There may be some bare spots on trail sections that are out in the open but the wooded trails are very good.

The temps will get warmer on Wednesday but by night fall back down to 20 degrees and continue to be below freezing throughout the rest of the week and weekend. With Wed being midweek the traffic will be low on the trails and they will freeze back up on by evening. Groomers will go back out as necessary before the weekend. It will be another great weekend to ride!

Surrounding counties all report to be in good condition as well!

Thank you to all club members, volunteers and groomers! And thank you to all for choosing Sawyer County as your riding destination!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 14, 2018

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12 inches

Date of Report: February 14, 2018

Area Report:

Trail report for February 14, 2018, Good condition. Tuesday night and today Wednesday morning we groomed our complete trail system. There is very little snow, but we were able to get all the humps and bumps out. The trail is very thin with snow and the corners are getting bare and icy. Active logging areas have very little snow. The temps last night got down to about 10 deg. Today we are expected to get some warm weather in the 40’s This will not be good for the trail and could degrade our trail drastically. The temps for Thursday are expected in the 30’s. With the long weekend coming and the high volume of traffic expected we will have to see how our trails hold up. There is no significant amount of snow in the near forecast and we need that snow to freshen up our trails. Mother Nature is in charge and controls everything! Pray for snow!!! Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

TRAILS FAIR to GOOD
Fresh SNOW wanted

Heading into a warm up today & tomorrow.  20 degrees at 6:30am with a high of 42 today & 33 tomorrow.  Than it will cool down again on Friday.  SNOW flurries on Saturday.  Best chance of measurable SNOW is Sunday night into Monday!  Some pretty good totals in the forecast.  Stay tuned! Start Dancin’  Today is Wednesday & time for a Sno-Eagles Guided Trail ride with Ron.  Meet at the Historic Railroad Depot on the “grade” trail right in town across from Friendship House at 9am.

Pretty amazing how well the trails are holding up.  GOOD out of town.  FAIR through town. Ice base if holding pretty well. There is snirt at most road crossings and there is some burn through on the north side of trails along roads & in wide open areas. Can’t stress enough the base is really, really icy everywhere not just in the corners.  Please slow down so you can stay on the right side of the trail.  High berms in most sharp corners take extra care there.  The snow on top of the ice base is thin & fatigued out, meaning SNOW too is icy.  Another reason to Start Dancin’

Groomer drivers continue their magic on the trails  Trail Boss Brian reports all trails groomed except Trail 1S aka Grampa Grahm Trails.

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. Right now there are logs in piles along sections of the trail. With the log piles and icy grainy conditions in that section it would be good to slow down. Very icy corners. Minimal grooming due to the logging operation.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange easy to see reflective barrels.  Please stay by the barrels to be safe.  Have not ridden out either lake myself in a while. No surface slush this morning. With the warm temps today & tomorrow surface slush could develop.  Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open.  Please do not trespass on private land.

Celebrate Snowmobiling Snow Show is set for this Sunday, February 18 at the Derby Track Expo Hall.  From 11am-4pm.  Admission if FREE!

Please Slow Down!  Second fatality in Vilas County. We love having you here & want to see you back.
See ya on the trails!
