Happy New Year’s from Phelps Wisconsin. Trail conditions are as good as can be with the limited amount of base, warm temps and lots of traffic. Our swamp areas have yet to be groomed and more snow and cold is needed to help get the trails back into shape. Lot of snirt reported out on the trails. Snow is in the forecast for Tuesday and hopefully we get 6 or more inches. The lake trail across North and South Twin is marked. If used, please stay on the marked trail. There is a lot of slush out on the lake. We want you to be safe and return back to our area. Please check back for more updates.

EARLY SEASON RIDING – Poor to Fair
Longer report to help you find riding
Happy New Year! Schiff of SNOW this AM. Temps are still hovering around 30 during the day until Wednesday. High teens & 20’s at night. There is potential for SNOW beginning very late Monday into Tuesday. Totals will depend on how quickly the temperatures drop. Should know more on Monday. Stay tuned.
As for the trails….it’s Adventure sledding. Trails north are much better than south trails. Trail 13/13C the Bauers trails are in pretty good shape. Lots of tree cover. Head north out of town on 10/13 all the way to the turn that takes you over the Wisconsin River Bridge area. Once crossing the bridge it will be a rough. At the 10/13 intersection on the other side of the bridge head north (right turn) that will get you to the better trails. No report on 17N that branches off of 10/13 in town. Assume it’s icy, rough & thin as it has lots of open areas.
Heading south through town are icy & burn through at the road crossings. Road routes are ice covered. The grade just past dairy Queen is under tree cover & should be pretty good. Heading south to Three Lakes is covered in most areas & icy with some mushy areas. Heading east on 10E will be ragged until you get to the Hockey Sports Arena along Hwy 70E. The one way heading east on the south side of road is fair to good from there except for road crossings. Heading back on the north side icy snow cover until just past the trail that takes you to Chanticleer & Eagle Lake. From there it is poor with little snow cover. Riding west of town same conditions along Hwy 70W.
Groomer were out last night with the temps dropping. When they complete this morning with the except of a few spur sections the entire system will be groomed. Remember these drivers are doing the best they can with the hard icy conditions.
NOTE – DEERVIEW LANE SECTION OF TRAIL 1N THAT HEADS TO EAGLE LAKE HAS HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. Slow down & be aware.
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are open & marked. Take it slow. Hard ice & surface slush pockets particularly on the turn that takes you off the lake to Townline Rd. Stay by the orange reflective barrels to be safe.
Some reminders when you ride. Please no off trail riding & stop at driveways. Also as you ride you might meet a groomer. They are big & can’t pull over for us. So pull over & let the driver direct you. And oh ya give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!!!
Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!
See ya on the trails real soon!!

After the warm temps hit a few days ago we had to halt grooming for a day until the it got cold enough. This made for a icy base and icy corners , we will be out trying to pull in some snow from the edges to make it less icy and some snow for coolers . Once you get out of town and into the woods they are much better. Snow forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday, 4-5 inches they say, we need it.

PARTIAL OPENING 12/31/2022
Snowmobile clubs and county staff continue to work clearing trails after the recent storm event. While it will likely be several weeks before we get all of the winter use trails cleared and ready for use, there is a planned opening to open several trail segment for the coming weekend. The following trails will officially open as of Saturday morning, December 31st.
Trail 35 (Wild River Trail) Barron County to Douglas County
Trail 39 Barron County to Spooner

ALL OTHER TRAIL SEGMENTS WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
County Staff will be evaluating other trail segments throughout the remainder of this week and may be able to announce additional sections before Saturday morning. Please do not ride on other trail sections at this time. Snowmobiles riding on other trails present a hazard to workers and make clean up efforts more difficult. Law enforcement staff will be monitoring use over the coming weekend. Clubs will begin grooming these segments later today and throughout the next several days. Please ride with caution and stay on designated trail surfaces.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Friday, 12/30/2022
It’s 30 degrees and cloudy out this morning.
We groomed 15N, 2W, and 8W last night and 8E, 11, and 15S early this morning.
Our groomer drivers upon going out are reporting that the trails are rough and some inside corners are getting bare. With the warm temps and heavy traffic, we are doing our best to smooth them out.
Tonight’s cool down will help, but as always best riding will be early in the day.
If you are in our area this week, enjoy our trails and support our local businesses.
Look for an updated report on Monday, 1/02/23.

OPEN – EARLY SEASON RIDING with Fair to Poor conditions
The late December thaw continues. 41 today & 9 degree tonight which is great for a nighttime temp. 30’s during the day until January 4. 20’s at night. Next SNOW is forecast at night on January 3. All according to the weather guys. THINK COLD & then START DOIN’ A SNOW DANCE!
As for trails with the warm up most all trails are degrading. North trails better than south trails. Soft & even mushy areas. Yesterday for the most part trails did have snow cover on 10E, grade into town & through town. 10W/13 crossing the Wisconsin Bridge is still frozen but approaches have soft snow. West side has snirt. Heading north on what I call the Bauers trail, which is trail 13 on the map are snow cover but there is breakdown in the open areas & some blow out in the corners. Trail 10E after the one way goes back to a 2 way trail, near the gas station has blow out in the corners. Northeast toward Phelps is better as there is woods riding. Along side the roads burning through & mushy. Heading south on Alt 13 toward Three Lakes very soft & mushy. Trails need new snow & cold to improve.
Groomers were out last night with just 3 sections not groomed. They are:
