Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Friday, 2/25/22:

It’s -3 degrees out this morning with sunny skies with milder temps forecast for the weekend.
Last night, we groomed 2W, 8W, 51, 15N, and 6E. Early this morning, we groomed 8E, 11, and 15S.
Our trails will be in very good to excellent shape for the start of the weekend.

I have been asked to remind sledders that when they are approaching a groomer on the trail to let the groomer pull over, stop, and signal you to pass them from either direction. With our daily grooming schedule, you will most likely see a groomer on our trails during the late afternoon and evening hours.

Get out and enjoy our trails, be safe, think snow! Check for an updated report on Monday, 02/28/22.

Please contact us to request this year’s snowmobile map and keep an eye on our webcam to see current snowfall in Boulder Junction.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 25, 2022

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 9-10 Inches

Date of Report: February 25, 2022

Area Report:

February 25, 2022
Groomers have been out and trails are beautiful with excellent conditions!

It is Birkie Week so there are some reroutes around the City of Hayward. Lake Hayward will be closed as well as Railroad Street and Main Street.

There will be barricades up to prevent riders from getting on and off of Lake Hayward, going on Railroad St and Main Street out of respect for the Birkie race. Barricades will be up just past Marathon/Holiday gas station on 63 so you will be able to get gas at those locations. There will be barricades at the end of Railroad St by Millers Market, on the entrances/exits of Lake Hayward at Market Place, the boat landing behind the Big Musky and Holiday Inn. Please remember there is no on/off of the lake by Hayward Marine, that trail was removed a year ago so please do not use it as the lake trail is closed this week and you will be trespassing if you go on/off on that side.

There is some trail crossings with the Birkie trail in the Seeley Hills so expect some delays, but no closings. Please be respectful of closures/reroutes and please cross at Birkie trail crossings slowly and respectfully not to hurt their trail.

Please watch, enjoy and cheer on these athletes! It’s a remarkable race!

We had gotten 15+ inches of snow this past week. Groomers have been out getting the trails groomed after all the snow. All three clubs are reporting trails are in good to very good condition. Grooming is ongoing.

Please stay on marked trails riding on unmarked trails can result in the clubs losing easement for that trail.

U.P. Thunder Riders Trail Report February 25, 2022

Trails are in good to very good condition.

Snowmobile season is in full swing, which means both riders and groomers are out on the trails. Here are a few things to keep in mind when enjoying the trails while grooming is taking place.

Be courteous to the driver – these volunteers do their best to keep snowmobile trails in riding condition.

Groomers use the entire width of the trail and have the right of way.

When a groomer is visible you must immediately move off the trail.

We hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable snowmobile season and remember to follow Ride Right safety tips –

Caution – Trail 3 south of Watersmeet. Logging Operation will be crossing Trail 3 in between US 45 south of Watersmeet and the Wisconsin Border. Be sure to STOP at all stop signs you do not want to run into a logging truck, they win.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – February 25, 2022

Area Report:

February 25, 2022 – 7:20am 0 – High 21 – Low tonight 2

Friday & the start of another weekend of sledding! Trails are in good shape for riding. EXCELLENT riding out of town. In town trails FAIR to GOOD with more traffic. Really no problem areas to report. Temps today are perfect for riding.

To be safe please Ride Right even in the corners. Please no off trail riding. The Clubs of Vilas County work very hard to secure easements from private landowners & folks we are losing many due to off trail riding. So PLEASE NO OFF TRAIL RIDING.

Groomer Tracking Systems (GTS) shows groomers back out grooming last night & groomed nearly the entire Eagle River system. Upnorth the one-way section of Trail 13N that is near the Buckatabon Lake near Bauers Dam NOT groomed (the 2 way section is groomed). Trail 1 aka Granpa Grahm which is a spur of Trail 10E out about 5 mile east of Eagle River & takes you to Eagle Water Resort was NOT groomed.

So with that said it was COLD last night so the trails set up very good. It’s time to ride!!!

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. Stay by the orange reflective barrels. No reports of surface slush. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. Several sleds have gone in the water this season far from the barrels.

Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! Sure would be great to ride into March!

Our Sleds still in the shop so “See ya on the Trails” real soon!

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – February 24, 2022

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 38″ on the ground

Date of Report: February 24, 2022

Area Report:

After a record breaking storm we are all out getting the trails back in shape. I recorded 19″ of snow from Monday till Wednesday morning on top of the 14″ we got last week. That puts the Keweenaw at a total of 265.5 inches for the season so far. Temps are going to warm up a bit for the next week holding in the 20’s. Plus not a lot of snow in the forecast. All groomers are running day and night from Toivola north. South of Toivola is running nights only.

All trails are open except Trail 3 from Lake Linden to Dollar, the Frieda Loop, and trail 109 south out of Twin Lakes.

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – February 24, 2022

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 24 – 30 inches

Date of Report: February 24, 2022

Area Report:

As you all know who follow this report we received a lot of snow this week… 18 inches at least between the 2 snowfalls. That’s the good news… now for the bad news… the Iron Range Trail Club which grooms the western trails is down to just 1 groomer instead of 3 groomers. Two of their groomers are currently down for repairs…. they are doing the best they can with the (1) groomer. On the bright side our eastern club – Chippewa Sno-Kats are operating at full compacity at this time… so it sounds like the trails on the eastern side of Iron County may be in better riding condition then the western side until the groomer situation is cleared up.

So with that said the following trails should be in good to very good condition – Trail #18, Trail #113, Trail #2 coming from Iron Mountain to the intersection of #116, Trail #16 and Trail #111.

Unknown condition for Trail #2 from #116 – to Watersmeet, Trail #107, Trail #15 N. and Trail #15 S. and Trail #116. I will update this report when I have new information to share regarding the Iron County Trail System. Again please let me mention the trails on the east side of the county are being groomed on their normal grooming schedule. The groomers are down on the west side of the county… not the east side.

Thank you for your patience and understanding…

Happy Trails!!

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – February 24, 2022

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 8-18

Date of Report: February 24, 2022

Area Report:

We’ve been wanting more snow throughout the county and boy did we get it. A foot fresh snow in the southern part of the county and up to 30 inches in the north central part of the county. Groomers are digging out and getting to work to get trails in good condition for the weekend. With this much snow it may take a few days to get trails back in tip top shape especially in the northern part of the county. It’s going to be a beautiful weekend up here!

Some trouble spots to note:

The Wally Polk Trail/Trail 40 near Port Wing and Herbster is closed. Flag road is a suitable re-route.

Namakagon Trail Groomers: We received 12-15″ of snow along with LOTS of wind!! 6-8′ base. Some trails were panned today (Tues) and the remainder will be done tomorrow (Wed). Trails are good to very good condition.

Barnes Barnestormers: Barnes received 10 to 12 inches of fresh snow, we have been out packing trails during the storm. We will continue to groom through the weekend. Trails should be in great condition, however, may see moguls in heavily ridden areas with the deeper snow.

Iron River: All trails in the Iron River area will be groomed by Thursday all are looking very good.

Washburn Valhallers: We will be attempting to first track-pack and then groom Trail #13 between Valhalla and the Ashland corridor on Thursday. We expect it to be in decent shape for the weekend. It will be early next week before we have all trails back to where we want them. The Washburn/Valhalla areas received 20″-30″+ of snow with considerable drifting. Groomers are out in Valhalla trying to cover all the trail before the weekend.

South Shore: Working on grooming South Shore trails. Port Wing done today, 2/23/22, lots of snow up on the South Shore.

Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – February 24, 2022

Reporter:Phillips/Park Falls Chambers

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10″+

Date of Report: February 24, 2022

Area Report:

The trails in the Fifield/Pike Lake area are all open and groomed and in excellent condition With the 7” of new snow we received on Monday the trails are the best of the season. No telling how long they will last, so don’t miss the chance to get out there and ride.

Lugerville Chasers 2/22/22 Trail Report: we received a good amount of snow today, in the 5-6″ range, maybe a little more. Forecast is for cooler temps the next couple of weeks, so the trails should continue to be in good to great shape. Groomer drivers are relentless in keeping the trails in awesome shape. Thanks to all of our volunteers!

Northwoods Hi-Riders Price County Trail report: 2/16/2022

The 6” of new snow we received on 2/11 has added to the base and trails around the Solberg Lk area are now in Very Good to Excellent condition. There is logging on trail 102 between Old 13 Road and Trail 121 going North to Hicks Landing Rd. That portion has been bulldozed to allow the logging trucks to haul, so you may want to avoid that area for the time being. If you are going North, Go to Solberg Lake, then head North to trail 112 at Solberg Park.
