Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – January 31, 2018

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 10-15 inches

Date of Report: January 31, 2018

Area Report:

Trail report for January 31, 2018, Poor to fair condition. The trails have very little snow and are bare and icy in the corners. With the snow system we got last night only left us with an inch plus. The temps are expected to stay in the single digits for the rest of the week which is good not to degrade our trails any further. We really need a good snowstorm to get the trails back in A1 shape again. There is another snow system coming this way maybe on Saturday. We will see how much snow we will get. We will do our best with what we have got. Pray for snow and do the snow dance! Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Area Report:

Conditions Fair to Good

The warm weather last weekend really hurt us. We had a lot of melting and some trails took a beating. Riders are still out and about with some reporting Good Conditions out of town, most sledders in town are still putting on a lot of miles this week as the trails are definitely rideable. Trail 17 (the grade is Poor with some gravel coming through), Trail 10 and 12B to the flowage are Fair condition with ice-y corners. The remainder of the system is still in Good Condition as the woods really protected direct sun light. We have been hit again by logging on most of our town road trails, watch for plowed down roads on Island Lake Rd, Circle Lilly Rd, Cramer Lake Rd, and Cedar Lake Rd; this is an issue we are working on for the future. This Saturday is our Club fundraiser at the Wolf’s Den Bar & Grill inside the Great Northern Hotel. Stop in from 11am till 2pm for a Chili Feed and Brat Fry, all money raised will go to grooming the trails. Thank you to everyone who continues to support the club and remember to Ride Safe!

If you would like more information on the Mercer Area, please give us a call at 715-476-2389 or visit our website at mercercc.com. Think snow!

Trail Report – : Crivitz, Wisconsin – January 31, 2018

Reporter:ironsnowshoe

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4 inches

Date of Report: January 31, 2018

Area Report:

YES…We received four inches of fresh snow in the area! This is awesome!

We rode Saturday and surprisingly, even with the warm weather, the base is still there. It is frozen…it is mostly flat…With this 4 inches of snow on top of that, the trails will be really nice. All three groomers will be going out tonight and tomorrow. This will make for some great riding for you all this weekend. Cold temperatures are in the forecast which should hold the trail together also!

PROCEED WITH CAUTION! Expect ice corners and a lot of traffic.

See you on the trail!

TRAILS FAIR ON AVERAGE

Very welcome SNOW SHOWERS this early morning with about 2 inches of SNOW on the ground. Currently 23 with a high of 27 and a low of 6 below tonight. Next few days it will be in the single digits during the day and below zero at night. Then temps will move up to 10’s & low teens during the day and below zero overnight. Time to Ride!

All 3 groomers were out for the first time in a while. ALL TRAILS were groomed with the exception of section of the south section of Grampa Graham/7 Trail. With the new SNOW things should be in pretty good shape.

Under the new SNOW it is hard base that is icy everywhere so be aware and slow down. Traffic is low but still stay on the right side of trails as you ride. Should be some really great riding this morning and through out the day!

Today is Wednesday and time for the Sno-Eagles Guided Ride. This week rides will be guided by President Rusty on both Wednesday and Thursday. Meet by the Ice Castle by the Historic Railroad Depot at 9am. Have Fun!

Reporter:nikky.farmakes

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Snow cover is thin in some areas, most trails are still in fair to good condition with a 1-5 inch base.

Date of Report: January 30, 2018

Area Report:

As is typical for this time of year, certain trail segments can be opened and others are not ready yet due to wetland crossings and/or have restrictions due to private land easements. It is critical that we respect the landowners who allow us to use their property. Please review the information below carefully before trail riding and confirm that you are using open trails.

Please note, certain trails or only segments of trails may be open at this time. We anticipate frequent updates as the clubs begin grooming and report on trails they’ve checked. In all areas where winter recreation trails are closed, our clubs are actively working to get the trails open.

Trail Report 1/30/2018

NE Quadrant
Trails took a beating this last week with warmer temps. Trails are thinner and dirtier than last week. Many places are still in good condition but many areas are getting icy.

Most Brule River Riders trails have been groomed since the weekend except for the northwestern area.

Trail 1 & 2, the Tri-County Corridor is groomed. There are some thin dirty spots east of Highway P near Poplar and just west of the Brule River. The groomer turned around at 50^th Avenue East in Superior. These trails are in mostly good condition.

Trail 2B was groomed last week, and is sketchy in many areas.

Trail 4 was groomed this week from Brule to Trail 41 (Warming Shelter). Trails are dirty along Highway 53 and west of Highway L. Trails are in good condition in the swamps, and dirty in the logging areas. Many areas are in good condition east of Trail 24.

Trail 6 was groomed this week. South Shore Grade Road still has snow cover and is in mostly good condition.

Trail 24 was groomed Monday and is in mostly good condition.

Trail 27/27A was groomed last weekend. There are some icy corners. Much of the trail is in pretty good condition for many miles south changing to a few snirty areas with many icy corners overall.

Trail 35 (Wild Rivers Trail) was groomed only where it overlaps with Trail 4. Northern area grooming has been suspended until more snow falls.

Trail 235 grooming has been suspended until there is more snow.

Logging in progress: Two areas off the north end of Trail 27, Bayfield 24, and Trail 4 East of Bellwood Pit Road and also east of Degerman Road. East of Hawthorne the logging job T’s off and crosses our trails several times. Signing has been upgraded in that area. There is also a small private logging job on Trail 4 by the Covered Wagon in Hawthorne just east of Highway 53.

NW Quadrant

All trails in this quadrant are open and are in good condition with the exception of the area between Bear Creek Bridge and Wanek Road on Trail 4/41. Snow is thin in and near Superior. Most of the trail base is good but more snow is needed.

Logging operations continue on Trail 4 and Trail 41 between Bear Creek Bridge and Wanek Road. On Trail 4 between Brietzman Lake Road and Big Balsam Road are also experiencing logging activity. Brushing is ongoing in these areas that are not accessible until this time of year. Please use caution and watch for equipment on these grails.

Please note – the parking lot located off Tuff Road is closed for the season and there is no trail access from the lot.

SW Quadrant

Trails in this quadrant are in fair condition and snow is thin in some areas. Cold temperatures and snow in the forecast is welcome. Watch for grooming and brushing equipment on the trails. Please respect landowners and stay on the trails!

SE Quadrant
Trails 7/27, Trail 41S and Trail 41B were groomed this week and are in fair to poor condition with some bare spots & icy. Trails 35 (Wild Rivers Trail) has dirt showing on southern facing hills and at some intersections. The clubs are hoping to groom Trail 35, Trail 5, and Trail 541 this week. Trail 41N hasn’t been touched in a while as it needs more snow. Trails are icy please use care.

Wascott Trail 3 is in fair condition, with some icy and some bare spots due to no new snow. The trails will not be groomed until we get new snow.

Trails 217 and Trail 17
Trail 217 and Trail 17 from Cabin Lane to Trail 8 are in fare condition and have not been groomed in over a week due to lack of fresh snow.
