Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – February 23, 2018

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 26 inches (+\-) in the woods

Date of Report: February 23, 2018

Area Report:

The area received from 6 to 9 inches of white gold. We have been out and panned down this gift from God! Until we go over it at least one more time, it may not be quite set up as good as we like it. So with traffic today, expect a few bumps to develop. We will be out again tonight and that should set things up better for the rest of the weekend. We will be grooming the entire weekend. There could still be icy corners, so please – as you always should anyway – ride with caution.

With the added weight of the new snow on the ice, slush pockets could develop on the lakes, as the ice is forced down and water comes up through cracks.

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.

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 23, 2018

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 10-12 inches

Date of Report: February 23, 2018

Area Report:

Trail report for February 23, 2018, Good condition. We got a few inches of snow last night so we should be able to go out and groom and lay out a nice trail. The trails are still very thin. We should be out grooming our trails all weekend. The corners can be very bare and icy and the active logging areas have very little snow. Logging equipment can be on the snowmobile trail at any time so use caution. If you see a groomer on the trail, please take all directions from the groomer. They are out there to make the trail better for you so give them a break. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Area Report:

February 23, 2018 – 7:15am

TRAILS FAIR – GOOD
Plenty of new SNOW

We Got SNOW in Eagle River! Looks like 5-6 inches as I look outside 6 miles east of Eagle River! With 4-5 inches in Eagle River. Still SNOWING lightly. What a nice surprise! This is one of those Ride It When We Got events. Forecast for overcast all weekend with temps in low 30’s.

Trails groomed last night are the in town trails, 10W/13N/7S, 70W/13S, 17S, 7N aka Paintball Field, 3S, parts of 10E. Keep in mind that with the SNOW totals over night there may be areas that covered back up with SNOW & do not appear groomed, Also remember that the base under the new SNOW is still icy. At road crossings be sure to stop and look both ways as snowbanks are high along side and there may be some trail crossings that are plowed shut. Be safe.

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.

Holy moly! Keep Dancin!
See ya on the trails!
