Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – February 9, 2022

Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: Varied base – Depth 13 inch to few inches

Date of Report: February 9, 2022

Area Report:

February 9, 2022 – 6:58am – 30 – High of 31 – 10 tonight

Cloudy all day with a little SNOW mid morning. A schiff of SNOW overnight. Just enough to make it white. Small system today mid morning with maybe 1/2 inch. Another weak system Thursday night. The day time highs will drop into the low teens or single digits this weekend. Below zero or single digits at night.

As has been reported trails are all over the place. Ranging from Good to Poor. Conditions change quickly. Found best riding is north & northwest under tree cover. Icy corners. Open field areas are thin & have burned through areas. Sun is out longer in February & does damage. Also found trails along road have Good riding if they run along the southside of the road. Example: 10E has a one way section where the trail runs east on south side & is Good. Across the road where 10E runs west back to town has lots of snirt & burn through areas. So plan riding around this. Off 10E heading toward Three Lakes is better than head west.

The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows groomers left the Groomer Barn along Hwy 45N near the Snowmobile Derby Track last night & groomed ALL but Trail 1 that runs south to the boat launch & the Eagle Lake trail. It takes long nights to accomplish this. Give them a thumbs up & remember to pull over to let them by.

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. No reports of surface slush. Stay by the orange reflective barrels. 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!

See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 8, 2022

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 3-6

Date of Report: February 8, 2022

Area Report:

February 8, 2022

Hello Riding Friends!

It is that time of year and the cool temps have caused some maintenance issues as well as some volunteers down with health issues so this last week many volunteers and machines were stretched thin and clubs were sharing, because Sawyer Counties team work is awesome they are able and willing to transport machines! Many repairs have been going on since Sunday and a couple of those units are back up and running or will be today/tomorrow. Also, a few new volunteers were in the groomers this weekend volunteering their time and learning the ropes. And, not to sound like a broken record but thank you again to this group of volunteers!!

Groomers were back out Sunday and Monday and have started grooming things back up after the crazy weekend. They will continue their grooming scheduled throughout the week. They are working with what we have and doing a fine job at that.

The forecast shows some warmer weather this week, around the 30 degree mark, which is hopefully good because with those temps sometimes Mother Nature brings snow. Snow is in the forecast starting tonight with a bit (hoping around an inch), snow forecasted also for Wednesday, Thursday (1-3″, 80%) and Friday. All of that little bit accumulates to we will take it! We did get a bit this Sunday, some areas only about 1/2″ and others such as in the north about 2″. So hopefully those temps are just warm enough to give us some fresh snow and then they will drop again to the singles and teens through the weekend with negatives in the night and set and preserve that new snow. Do your snow dance!

The overall consensus from all groomers, clubs and riders are that most of the areas from the south east corner to the north are all rideable and in fair to good condition. Some areas will no doubt be better than others and some poorer than others. There are thin and icy spots and some gravel coming through, mostly on the heavily traveled main trails. The more protected, wooded trails are better riding. The lakes are also really good! The warm weather can create some moguls on the lakes closer to the stakes where traffic is heavier, not much can be done other than moving back from the stakes a bit while still staying on trail. But overall the lake trails are great! Many trails are hard packed and with that you can find some overheating, many factors can go into overheating, size of the rider, style of riding, lack of ice scratchers and finding that snow for lubrication. If you find this as a concern be sure to get into a bit of the loose snow (while staying on the trail) to help you cool down.

All in all trails are getting thin but holding up and rideable with fair to good ranges. A lot can happen with even just a small about of snow so fingers crossed for some good fortune! We will update closer to the weekend as we watch the weather.

Trail Report – : Superior – Douglas County, Wisconsin – February 8, 2022

Reporter:nikky.farmakes

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 6-8

Date of Report: February 8, 2022

Area Report:

Douglas County received approximately 1-2 inches of snow over the weekend. Some trails have been groomed and the remaining will most likely be groomed by the end of the week. Trails are in Fair riding conditions. We still need more snow. There are still areas of dirt poking through on some of the trails. As Grooming reports come in the Trail Conditions will be updated.

Douglas County Forestry does not maintain any trails across lakes. If you would like information of specific trails please contact the Snowmobile club in that area.

It is critical that we respect the landowners who allow us to utilize their property. Please Stay On The Trails.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – February 8, 2022

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: in open areas good in the tree line.

Date of Report: February 8, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

As of last night, Northern Hornshoes suspended grooming until this warm spell is over, and we pick up some more snow. Clubs around us are doing the same thing. We have a good, solid base, and we do not want to tear that up when the warm temps and sun soften it up. 30 degree temps today through Friday, and chance of snow in the same time frame. The trails have hung on amazingly well, but now we have one foot on ice and the other one on a banana peel. See what happens. Mark

Conditions Change Quickly
Need More SNOW

February 8, 2022 – 8:30am 12 – High of 33 today – 23 tonight

Well the evil sun is out today. The good news is that SNOW is moving in tonight around midnight into tomorrow morning. Doesn’t look like a very strong system. Inch or 2. Next SNOW is Thursday night into Friday. Starting Friday night back into the freezer with below zero temps at night. Single digit to low teens until next Tuesday. TIME FOR A SNOW DANCE!

Every condition you can think of & conditions change very quickly on the trails. Base varies as well. Thick insome areas, mainly in the under cover areas to thin or gone in the wide open areas. In town 10/13 is really in need of more new SNOW & it’s Fair to Poor. As I’ve been reporting best riding is on trails that have tree cover. 10W, 13N & a lot of 10E heading east where the trail is on the southside of Hwy 70E where the sun doesn’t get to it. Top photos is 10E on northside of Hwy 70E. Bottom photo is 10E southside of Hwy 70E
