Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – February 5, 2021

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 8-10”

Date of Report: February 5, 2021

Area Report:

Well, the weather man finally did it. They got their predictions wrong in our favor. We got closer to 12” total. We had all of our equipment out last night and everything groomed out real nice. The cold temperatures are moving in now which will creat a excellent base.
The lakes are all marked, however you might start to see some slush. Remember, the throttle is your friend when you hit slush. Stay close to the barrels for the safest ice.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 5, 2021

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 8-9

Date of Report: February 5, 2021

Area Report:

Hello Riders!!

Mother Nature finally showed up this winter!! The snow started in the early hours this morning and continued well into the afternoon. The county received a good 4-6″, being conservative with that number until reports are in. Some areas perhaps more. We are in for a great weekend of riding, actually with the new snow and the cold temps forecasted in the next week we should be set for a great couple of weeks!! The temps will be cold but it’s snowmobiling, we dress for the occasion! The snow only recently died down so groomers are starting this late afternoon and tonight. We will report more specific snow fall numbers as well as groomed areas tomorrow morning but for now the ones we know are:

9 and 3 between Round Lake and Lost Land Lake

3/5 from Lost Land Lake to Reel Livin Resort to Moose Lake

Seeley Hills – 31/8/63

31N near Birchwood to Washburn County Line and into Washburn County, they will complete a pass around Long Lake as well.

Again, many more groomers are out and/or will be out in the next 24 hours or less but we will wait for their official updates.

Lakes are very snow covered now and will be good riding, please stay on the marked trails as it becomes hard to spot hazards off of the trail just under new snow. Trail 18 entrance/exit onto and off of the Chippewa Flowage in front of R & R is still closed. The cold weather on its way may help this soon and we will update when given the green light but for now, PLEASE stay out of this barricaded area for your safety but also to allow the area to refreeze well.

Surrounding Counties; Ashland, Bayfield, Washburn, Price open. Rusk and Barron partially open (see Travel WI for more detailed reports from those counties).

 

You’re in for some great riding! Dress warm and be safe!! And if you want to get a chance to win some money keep your eyes peeled for the “Sawyer County Snowmobile Friendly” signs out there and take a selfie with it tagging #sledsawyer2020 and the Hayward Lakes Convention Bureau! What a fun way to show your great times in Sawyer County!

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 5, 2021

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 16-18 inches

Date of Report: February 5, 2021

Area Report:

Trail Report – Feb. 5, 2021:

Well, we finally received much-needed snow just in time for the weekend! As of 3 a.m., we received about 8″ of new snow which has greatly improved our trail base. Unfortunately, on Wednesday night one of our groomers went down and will be out of service for at least a week. That means our remaining groomer will be running around the clock to keep the trails in shape.

Prior to the new snow yesterday, we groomed 2W and 8E. During the snowfall we groomed 15N, 6E, and 15S. Early this morning we are grooming 8W, 51, and 2W. We’ll be repeating our rotation starting on Friday afternoon into Saturday.

Last weekend 1,013 sleds rode past our trail counter. With this recent snow we anticipate many more sleds to come through town. We’ll be doing our best to keep the trails flat as this is the first time this season when we’ll have the snow conditions to develop moguls on the trails.

Trail Advisory: When riding on the airport spur, please stay on the marked trail which is on the far edge of the airport adjacent to the road.

Speed Limit Advisory: When passing through town, whether on Corridor 7 or Corridor 15, please use the marked trails, follow the signs, and observe the 15 mph speed limit. Snowmobiles are not allowed on the town’s Main Street.

When riding in our area, ride on the right, respect other sledders, and enjoy our trails and area businesses.

Think snow!

Trails in GOOD to VERY GOOD Condition
8-10 inches of new SNOW!
GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours

Nightly grooming continues with almost the entire Sno-Eagles Eagle River trails groomed.  Only 70W toward St. Germain. 17S toward Sugar Camp & 1N which is off of trail 17N were NOT GROOMED. 

Suggest buying a Sno-Eagles trail map to help with location of trails. Plus download the GTS trails app  It is available at the App Store.

Well the weather guys were almost right with the SNOW totals.  The Eagle River area received 8-10 inches of wet heavy SNOW!  A bit more than they forecast!  On top of that the temps dropped last night.  So….with grooming the cold temps trails are in GOOD to maybe even VERY GOOD condition

If you are riding today or over the next week be prepared with extra warm clothes.  Temps will be 0-1 degree for highs during the day & double digits below zero every night for the next week.  Here are some cold weather riding tips:

  • Extra layers of clothing
  • Gloves/mittens with long lasting hand warmers or try a pair of battery heated gloves. Gauntlets over handle bars good too
  • Cold weather boots with layered socks
  • Fully charged phone stored in the inside pocket of your jacket
  • Heated shields are great other wise remember to breath through your nose to prevent fogging
  • Stop more frequently & drink water. Cold can cause dehydration

Thinking the new snow should stop off trail riding.  Please stay on the trails to keep the trails open.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels.  Please stay by the barrels to be safe.  The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

TIME TO RIDE IF YOU ARE HARDY!

SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!!!
