Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – January 20, 2023

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 10+

Date of Report: January 20, 2023

Area Report:

There has been a recent dusting of snow across the county. Area Clubs & County Staff are continuing to maintain a close eye on trails and their conditions. All of the clubs are reporting the trails to be in great condition for riding. There are some areas and sections of trails getting soft with the recent rain and warmer temps at the beginning of the week. Cooler temps & more snow is in the forecast so the trail base should harden back up and create great riding for the remainder of the season. Please remember to ride with caution and stay on designated trail surfaces. Clubs are out grooming and maintaining the trails on a regular basis so please use caution when you encounter grooming equipment

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-16″

Date of Report: January 20, 2023

Area Report:

Everything but the Cemetery trail was groomed last night. I’m sure Trail Boss Chad will be in there tonight. The trails groomed in nice last night. There was a lot of sled traffic, so be aware that trail conditions can change quickly. Corners may get pushed out and uncover ice base below. Thank you to all the sleds that got up and out of the way last night as I was coming down the trail. And once I went by, didn’t rip up the fresh new panned trail. Enjoy the snow!

News and Reports:

We have a spot that sleds are riding off trail. This is on Trail 3 where sleds are going past a barrier and caution tape to ride on the ATV trail. We don’t have permissions for snowmobiling on this private land. Please stay on the trail.

If you find a condition that you need to report to the Conover Sno-Buddies like a down tree, water on the trail, etc, either message us on Facebook, use the contact page on our website, or even notify a local establishment. They know how to get a hold of us to fix the issue.

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Along Hwy K West, there were several 100 trees removed this summer to place new electric poles. Most of the stumps are still there. If you were to hit one, it could ruin your trip quickly. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Very Good to Excellent

One foot of new wet packy SNOW east of Eagle River! Similar totals throughout Sno-Eagles Country trails! & all of Vilas County! The ice base held on nearly all the trails. The SNOW was groomed last night followed by temps in the teens overnight. Trail set up amazing bringing conditions to Very Good to Excellent!

No problem areas on trails to report this morning. With the wet heavy SNOW there may be low hanging branches. Did not see any but be aware. Reliable rider report of small section of mushy SNOW on the west side of the Wisconsin River Bridge section of Trail10W/13N. Nothing serious & easy to get around. Same rider told me Manske Swamp,Trail 3N is tight with no mush. Trail 10E now that it is groomed is fantastic! Same with Trail Alt13S to Three Lakes, Trails 70W/7/13 heading toward St. Germain, Trails 10W/7 heading toward Sayner, Trails 13N heading to the Bauer’s area. Trail 17N that heads toward Phelps & Trail 1 that heads to Eagle Lake in great shape too.

The road crews are still out clearing roads & driveways so watch for snowbanks at crossings. The high banks might make it hard to see so be sure to stop at the crossings.

Groomers out last night into early AM today. Full grooming everyday.

Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are open & marked & still safe. Expect very slippery riding with lots of SNOW cover. Reports of drifting. Slow down. Always stay by the orange reflective barrels to be safe.

NOTE: Off of Trail 70W after entering St. Germain is a trail locals call “The Goat” trail. It is a Club Trail that starts at TIN 287 to TIN 288 that is CLOSED. It is clearly marked as CLOSED with fencing & signs. Please do not ride through this area from either direction. DO NOT RIDE ON HWY 70 as this is not legal. Click on image to enlarge.

On snowmobile designated road routes need to follow the speed limit set for the road for all vehicles.

Last, off trail riding is a big problem. PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL.

Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! THINK COLD!

See ya on the trails
