Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Friday, 1/21/22:

It’s -19 degrees out this morning with a forecast of 1” of snow tonight.

Our groomers were out last night grooming 15N, 6E, 2W, and 8W. Due to the extreme cold, our early morning grooming routes, 15S and 8E have been cancelled until tomorrow.

Overall, our trails are in good shape. Without trail 15S being groomed early this morning, it probably will develop moguls later today, but will be groomed early tomorrow morning.

Enjoy our trails, be safe, and check for an updated report on Monday, 1/24/22.

Don’t ride alone & tell someone where you are riding
Put fully charged phone in inside pocket
Layer clothes & COLD weather outer clothing – warm gloves or heated gloves
Extreme weather boots
Stop often & drink warm drinks – stay away from alcohol it cools you down from the inside

Trail Report – : Lake Vermilion, St. Louis County, Minnesota – January 20, 2022

Reporter:Joy

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 16″ to 22″

Date of Report: January 20, 2022

Area Report:

With the fresh 6″ of snow, we are happy to report that our land trails are in excellent condition!

There have been reports of the Vermilion River as being “decent” now whereas before it was sketchy.

There has been very little traffic during the week. If this excites you, we highly recommend you get up here because this season is so short.

Here’s a Safety note from our local Vermilion Penguins Club: “As is far too often the case we encountered a few riders who ride smack down the middle of the trail and barely budge if at all even when meeting others. Please don’t do this, ride on your side whenever possible (trails last longer) and move over as far as you safely can when meeting other sleds. Clicking skis (or worse) in no fun and it’s dangerous. Nuff said.”

January 20, 2022

Hello Riders!

The weekend is upon us! Our groomers have been out grooming all week. They have been able to keep things nice and flat. The snow is a bit sugary in some areas which prevents it from sticking together but overall most trails from the south east corner to the north have been reported to be overall good. Some are fair where there are rocks and icy corners. The trails near or on the roads are poor and “snirty”. But as always, do not judge the trail conditions by the ones next to the roads, in the woods there is more protection. We can have 3′ on a trail next to the highway and due to it being in the open and those are generally heavily connecting trails they always look dirty. We do need more snow, that is a fact but temps have stayed cold to preserve the snow and groomers have been active and able pull in what they can from the sides so trails are defiantly rideable.

The lakes are great riding!! And full of all your favorite destinations so routing rides that bring you on the lake will be a good ride.

Forecast shows some snow Monday, we hope we can get a clipper of that. We will report after the weekend as we always do.

We received about 4″ of new snow yesterday. Temps will be in the teens on Friday and Saturday with a chance of snow on Saturday. Sunday will only be in the single digits for temps.

Please when you see the groomers please pull over they have the right of way!

Please stay on marked trails riding on unmarked trails can result in the clubs losing easement for that trail.

Gogebic Range Trail Authority Groomer Report January 20, 2022

Trail Report – : Rice Lake & Barron County, Wisconsin – January 20, 2022

Reporter:Jody

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 6-8 inches

Date of Report: January 20, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

More than 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails lace Barron County, including the popular Tuscobia State Trail with 76 miles heading east from Rice Lake to Park Falls; the Wild Rivers Trail heading north from Rice Lake’s city limits leads 97 miles to Superior.

Barron County snowmobile and ATV trails remain closed. We’ve received approximately 8 inches of light snow, however it hasn’t provided a reasonable base to create sustainable snowmobile trails. Hopefully additional snow will arrive in the coming days and allow us to open the trails for the season.
