Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – March 2, 2018

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 4 to 10 inches base

Date of Report: March 2, 2018

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

Good news to all that have been eagerly awaiting a trail report after having some warm days! Your patience has paid off as we come with good news! The reports from around the county are that trails are good to excellent still! Fortunately because we received such an accumulation last week that snow was a blessing that will bring riding through the rest of the week and weekend!

With that said, there are going to be some areas that are not ideal but certainly passable. These areas include road connectors and trails along the road sides or out in the open in the direct sun light. There will be soft snow and/or bareness in these areas as well as at intersections.

But wooded trails still have a 10-15″ base and the lakes are wonderful! So while mapping out your weekend ride look to the woods and lakes and minimize trails that are on or near the roads. The season isn’t over yet so hop on your sled and get out and ride this weekend!

Surrounding counties are also reporting to be good to excellent.

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

Trail Report – : Sugar Camp, Wisconsin – March 2, 2018

Reporter:Matt Winters

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 4″-6″ woods areas

Date of Report: March 2, 2018

Area Report:

Trails in sugar camp are in fair riding conditions. The recent warm temps in the mid 40’s all this week have taken a toll on snow conditions on the trails. You will encounter alot of snirty conditions out there along with some burn thru from the sun in certain areas showing some dirt. Also be aware of water standing on trails from melting snow you will have to do alittle driving around these areas to stay out of the dirt so maintain reasonable speeds. This is also occurring in swampy & low lying areas.All lakes are still safe to cross so stay close to orange barrels. Temps will be in the mid 40’s the rest of the week into the weekend so get out & ride while we got the snow! United we trail divided we fail!

March 2, 2018 – 6:40am

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS ARE OPEN
Snowmobile Trails Can Remain Open Until Midnight March 31st
Conditions permitting

Chilly 8 degrees this morning! Winter might just be back! 39 for a high today. Yesterday fine wet SNOW fell. Heavy at times. It was not sticking at first. All in all about east of Eagle River maybe an inch remained on the ground. Next forecast SNOW is set for Monday & Tuesday according the the Weather guys. Stay tuned.

Trail on average are FAIR. In town trails are POOR. What was very mushy & water is frozen at this point this morning. So conditions are really icy. Many of the road trails for the most part have no snow on them. Especially those running north & south. Moving out of town conditions improve but it is a struggle to get to them without a bit of adventure sledding. In woods trails particularly way out east, north & southwest are FAIR with even some areas of GOOD but this is getting far & few between. Trailering & dropping off to ride might be good.

Last night the Groomer Drivers were out & groomed all of Sno-Eagles Trails in Eagle River. All set for the beginning of the weekend.

The section of the Chanticleer Inn Trail off of Trail 10E that takes riders to Eagle is mushy & wet at the entrance heading to the lake but is passable. Trail Boss is monitoring that area and will close if conditions continue.

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. With the log piles and icy grainy conditions in that section it would be good to slow down. 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. Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open. Please do not trespass on private land.

To keep the riding season going it’s going to take everyone Doin’ the SNOW Dance & THINKING COLD!!

See ya on the trails again real soon!

A huge thank you to all who attended the Winterfest Rendezvous and those who purchased tickets on our Arctic Cat Raffle. Congratulations to winner Dave Mueller! Dave is a club member and helps out at Our Duck Race!

Thank you to all of our volunteers that made our event a huge success! Some of these guys took 2 days off of work to help set the tent and organize everything.
