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.

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

Reporter:

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 14-16 inches

Date of Report: January 31, 2018

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!

Here are your current conditions:

Mother Nature gave us 2-3″ of fresh snow last night. This will really brighten things up and refresh the beautiful trails that we have. Everything has been worked over after the busy weekend. They are still in very good shape. You may find a little snirt, but it’s nothing to worry about. You may find a icy corner or two, so use caution.

Lakes are all marked, please stay close to barrels.

Date of Report: January 31, 2018

Area Report:

The Frosty Club trails are smooth flat, and fast after some excellent work by the groomers. Please slow down as we have had multiple reports of icy corners and hot dogging riders. Looks like cold temps and a little fresh snow should set things up for a great weekend. RIDE SAFE!

Snow Cover: Hard base with new SNOW this AM

Area Report:

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!

Here are a few continuing reminders on the trails:

  • Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake.  Clearly marked with signs. Minimal grooming on this trail.

CATFISH LAKE LOOP & EAGLE LAKE TRAILS ARE NOW BOTH MARKED AND OFFICIALLY OPEN.  PLEASE STAY BY THE ORANGE REFLECTIVE BARRELS TO BE SAFE.    REMINDER THE CATFISH LAKE LOOP TO LUMPY’S IS NO LONGER A TRAIL.  


Yes the Ice Castle is still up!  If you are riding zip on over to the “grade” to check out the 2018 Eagle River Area Fire Department ICE CASTLE!!!!  Located adjacent to the downtown “grade” trail by the Historic Railroad Grade.  The lights installed change colors. Ice benches as part of the Castle let you take photos of your group.  Check out this link Eagle River Ice Castle to check out a video of the Ice Castle building.  Warm did do damage to the turrets of the Castle.  Good the cold is back.

Next on the Winter events schedule is the 13th Annual LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey set for February 9-11 on Dollar Lake east of Eagle River.  Check out the is link LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey for info.
