Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 25, 2019

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 25-35 inches

Date of Report: February 25, 2019

Area Report:

Trail report for February 25, 2019– Trails are very good. The current temp is about 10 below zero. With the last snow storm over the weekend people have been digging out and snow removal is on overtime. The snow we just received over the weekend is about 13+ inches. The deep snow on the trails creates hazards. Broken trees and limbs can break and be blocking the trail. Please use extreme caution! The groomer was out cleaning up some very large pine trees and limbs blocking the trail last night. Thanks to those snowmobilers that helped me out clearing the trail last night. The groomers will be out tonight and tomorrow Grooming a nice flat trail for you. With the large amount of snow on the trail any amount of traffic can create bumps very quickly. Use caution. Signs on the trail can be covered with snow. If you encounter this, please help us to wipe the snow away to make the signs visible. Please stay on marked trails. You can get stuck in all that soft powder snow. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Red Arrow Snowmobile Trails (Townsend) – 2/24/19

It’s 28 degrees in beautiful downtown Townsend this morning. The trails are in excellent riding condition. We only received 3″ so far from the storm, but they were right about the strong winds. It is really blowing around here right now. Our groomers were out last night and will be out again tonight to smooth things out to freeze up hard with the cold weather settling back into the area.

Paul Bunyan (Lakewood) – 2/25/19

We were out grooming Sunday night and will continue today. The high winds have put several branches on the trail slowing the grooming progress. We will continue today. If you venture out today be careful because there is dangerous wind chills.

Chute Pond Snowmobile Trails (Suring/Mountain) – Chute Pond trails are open, being groomed, and are in very good condition. Grooming will be ongoing- so please watch for them on the trail any time of day or night- and always yield the right of way to the groomers. Stay to the right, and enjoy your ride!

Bagley and Brazeau Joyriders Snowmobile Trails – Trails are in excellent condition. The groomers will be out all week. So be careful for the groomers on the trails. If you ride to Suring, the old trail is closed through the golf course, but the trail does go around the golf course by using the side of the road, it will bring you back into town.

EAGLE RIVERS TRAILS
Deep Mostly Ungroomed SNOW – POOR to GOOD

February 25 2019 6:55am – 10 below – High 7

Official SNOW totals for Eagle River are 16 inches. This followed by wind with gusts up to 50mph. The groomer drivers have a tough job ahead. This amount of SNOW on the trails turns grooming into trail rehab. Last night saw Pisten Bully out breaking trails & clearing out road & drive crossing.

Trails are still in risky condition. Not all breaking trails is completed. Plus there are branches & trees down. Add 10 below zero this morning & a high of 7 might want to reconsider riding.

Here are some important updates:

Trail 10W/13N aka Wisconsin River Bridge Trail is Closed Effective Immediately

There are 2 logging operations going on where there is a need to use parts of the trails. Trail 13N by Deep Lake Rd & on 7 near Sugar Camp on the high line.

The snowbanks at driveway crossing & road crossings will be even higher after crews get out to do road clean up. Clean up continues & expect some blocked road & driveway crossings.

As trails get cleaned up trail signs will be buried in deep SNOW. It will take clubs throughout Vilas County time to unbury or add post extensions to the existing signs.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. With that said the SNOW will be way deep & will have drifts. So expect dangerous conditions. Might be best to stay off.

The 2 one-way trail areas are 10E from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart. The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area. Please be aware that for now signs will be buried in many locations. PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK A MAP SO YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF THESE TRAILS.

Let’s give the grooming crew the time to clean up.

Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – February 25, 2019

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 25-35”

Date of Report: February 25, 2019

Area Report:

Here are your current conditions

20 plus inches of snow over the past week. We are at all time high for the month of February for snow fall. No better time to ride then now. Lakes might start to get slushy, so the throttle is your friend. If you feel slush, hammer down. You may encounter a icy corner. Everything is in excellent shape. Watch out for low hanging branches. All trails are being groomed 4-5 times a week.

Please stay on the trail, or you have a good chance of getting stuck. You must yield to the groomers, they have the right away. It is much easier to get a sled unstuck then it is a groomer.

Please, slow down and limit your drinking. Way too many fatalities in northern Wisconsin, and they all can be prevented.

Lakes are all marked. Remember, stay as close to the barrels as possible. If you don’t see barrels, assume they are not safe.

Please respect our private landowners and stay on the trail. We have had a couple issues this year already and it always puts our trails in danger.

Use caution at all road crossing as they are icy.

The trails should be fantastic by mid-week and the weekend.

EAGLE RIVERS TRAILS
Deep SNOW Dangerous Riding

February 24 2019 8:30am – 27 Snow Showers – High 27

The weather guys were right this time. 3-5 inches of SNOW early Saturday. Followed by mist. Overnight 12 inches of new SNOW plus. Snow Showers to continue all day today into tonight.

As much as you might want to get out & ride conditions for today will be very dangerous. High winds warning that look to be moving in late afternoon. With the amount of new SNOW on the trails & trees adding winds will create really dangerous conditions on the trails. Trees. Branches. Drifting.

The groomer drivers have a tough job ahead. This amount of SNOW on the trails turns grooming into trail rehab. Staying off the trails for now will give them the ability to get them back into terrific riding.

Here are some important updates:
