Area Report:

February 21, 2018 – 7:00am

TRAILS FAIR ON AVERAGE

5 degrees at 7:00am with a high of 23. Cold again tonight in the single digits. No SNOW overnight. Evil sun will be making an appearance today. Today is Wednesday which means the Sno-Eagles Guided Trail Rides with Ron. Meet at 9am at the Historic Railroad Depot on the “grade” in town across from Friendship House.

Short report this morning this morning. While trail are on average FAIR. In town, trails that run along side roads on the north side & wide open areas are POOR. Riding on Monday best riding was the 13N Trails heading way north, Trail 7, 3S-the “grade” heading out of town were GOOD & SNOW covered. With the sun today that might night hold.

Groomers were out last night grooming but do not have a full report. Did see them heading out going north on 13N/10W. Will update around lunch time.

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. No surface slush. Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open. Please do not trespass on private land.

Do the Dance! Want to hear you all the way of here!
See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – February 20, 2018

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 18 inches (+/-) in the woods.

Date of Report: February 20, 2018

Area Report:

Well weather system “Oliver” did not produce nearly as much snow as forecasters had said it could as it just never really seemed to get going and died out too quickly. We still ended up with about 1 1/2 inches. It is still better than nothing and will do more good than you might think. We will be grooming this week Thursday and though the whole weekend. Conditions remain very icy so please ride safe – adjust your speed accordingly. Our trails average from fair to good. They are fair at best near town and good to very good away from town.

News and Reports:

There are logging operations in the following locations: Trail 9 between Hwy 70 (TIN 364) and Ross Lake Rd (TIN 225). There is also logging in the Jean Lake Rd area of Trail 7 North, between TINS 227 & 800. The logging, in this area, should be in the woods away from the trail.

(TIN = Trail Intersection Numbers)

Please watch out for logging areas. Slow down and stay out of the way of the loggers. DO NOT hassle the loggers. They have the right to close down sections of any trail they are logging near or using. If they get hassled too much, that is exactly what they will do – shut that trail down. The logging operations can run at anytime of the day or night. Loggers use some of the trails to drive in and out. So please be watchful in logging areas for trucks on the trail. Logging operations in any of these areas can start and/or stop without warning. So even if you ride in an area and there was nothing going on one day – it can start back up the next day.

Area Report:

TRAILS FAIR ON AVERAGE
Plenty of GOOD too!

Some SNOW yesterday afternoon & last night. On average throughout all of Sno-Eagles Country the SNOW fall was just under an inch. At the far east & northeast of Sno-Eagles Country there was a bit more.. Not as much as I would have liked, but we will take it. It’s 22 at 7:20am moving to a high of 32. Overcast all day!

Yesterday was the Celebrate Wisconsin Snowmobiling VIP dignitary ride. Over 70 riders in 6 groups. All the trails we rode were groomed the night before our ride. Found Trail 17N in pretty good shape with the usual snirt on the north side of the road section of that trail. Manske Swamp trail was smooth & snow covered for the most part. 10W/13N thinner SNOW with icy blown spots. The One Way 13 Trail was filled with lots of white SNOW and smooth. 13S from the Buckatabon Shelter was mostly SNOW covered with some icy corners. 10W off of 13S was the thinnest. Also grainy, snirty & icy. When we hopped onto 7 toward Eagle River there was plenty of white SNOW again and trails smooth. 70W heading toward Eagle River was thin & icy on the high ridge area that is across the highway from the Wisconsin River. Great view from up there. In the woods 70W was better but still could use more SNOW & is icy. The section from Cloverland Rd to the highway crossing from the south side to the north side had SNOW but it was snirty. The last leg on the north side to the Eagle River Inn & Resort was SNOW covered. From the Eagle River Inn to Trail 13N/3 intersection behind the Dairy Queen was in not good shape. Very snirty, ice & thin of SNOW. The “grade” back to the Derby Track is in pretty good shape. SNOW covered. Our ride into town & back on the “grade” and 10E had all sorts of conditions. The “grade” was EXCELLENT both in & back. 10E on the north side heading to town is a combination of SNOW covered, ice, snirt & even few spots of dirt. 10E on the south side heading home is much better. All SNOW covered. All trails could use more SNOW. About an inch or so today & a bit of “wintery mix” that iced our helmet shields. Popped my shield open for most of the day.

Trail Report – : Washburn County, Wisconsin – February 20, 2018

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 5 to 8 inch base

Date of Report: February 20, 2018

Area Report:

All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in fair to good condition with a 5 to 8 inch base. Last week brought warmer temperatures that made road crossing a snowy-dirt mixture but in the past 24 hours we received about 4 to 6 inches of snow to cover that up. The fresh snow is a great addition to the already good base! Always use caution on the trails as you may encounter active trail grooming equipment. Enjoy the trails!
