Snow Cover: 6-9
Date of Report: February 6, 2022
Area Report:
A couple inches of new snow has helped with cooling the sleds, trails have stayed flat and smooth with the cold weather, railroad beds are beat up and gravel coming up but the trails in the woods are good to very good with some icy corners. Some more snow forecasted for mid week so that should only help with snow cover on our base.

Late report this morning. Happy to report it is SNOWING as a clipper comes through. Behind this clipper is another larger one that should be around noon. That one should bring an inch of 2. Yesterday’s SNOW was somewhat of a bust. Maybe an inch. Will take it but hey it’s time for a loud SNOW DANCE! Need to hear it from way down in southern Wisconsin.
Riding remains the same. Every condition you can think of & conditions change very quickly. Base varies as well. Thick in some 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. You will find Fair to Poor areas where the sun got to the SNOW. But there is GOOD riding undercover.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows groomers left the Groomer Barn along Hwy 45N near the Snowmobile Derby Track last night & did NEARLY a FULL GROOMING session with the exception of:
Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. Several sleds have gone in the water far from the barrels.
Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! Let’s hope the weather guys are right!!
See ya on the trails!

Ran our trails yesterday afternoon. F Club trail from Gunlock to 47 good. 17 from Woodruff to F thin. 17 from F to Stearns Lake Road better with some stones. Trail 1, Stearns Lake Road to East Boundary still runnable but more road showing. In the woods up to 51 is good with some ice corners.17 from Stearns Lake Road to the 5 intersection, good with some ice corners. 5 into the Casino is great. 17 North from 5 is fair up to Sugarbush Road, then it is very gravelly up to the Mercer Club handoff at Powell Marsh. Ran up to Manitowish Waters, then Boulder with a couple of riders I met at Anglers, and trails were amazing all things considered.Northern Hornshoes are still grooming steady, but we need new snow for the thin areas, and to fatten up the mix where there is snow. John Dee is showing 1-2, maybe 4, today. NOAA also says 1-3″. Temps look to hit low 30’s Tues and Wed. Have fun and ride safe. Mark

SNOW moving in from the west today around noon with an increase of wind. Weather guys say SNOW from noon to 9pm. Bringing 2+ inches. Sure hope it’s more.
As for trail conditions they are all over the place. In town is really showing wear. Out of town north which has the most woods trails is actually GOOD to FAIR. Heading east there are one way trails. The trails that are on the northside of Hwy 70E (Trail 10E heading back to town) have lots of snirt sections & burn throughs. Open areas where the evil sun got at ’em are Poor to Fair(south & west). All in all trails need SNOW.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Friday, 2/4/22:
It’s -4 degrees out this morning with light snow falling. Last night, we groomed 2W, 8W, 51, 15N, and 6E. Early this morning, we groomed 15S, 11, and 8E. Even without any significant snow in awhile, our trails are in good to very good condition. Our club ride was to Land O’ Lakes Wednesday and the only marginal areas were the snowmobile road routes which really need some new snow right now.
Enjoy our trails, be safe, and check for an updated report on Monday, 2/7/22.

Area Report:
I have been lucky enough to ride the past 2 days. Most trails are in good to excellent shape. Where there is a lot of traffic the snow is getting snirty but still decent. road routes need some snow on them…the snowplow drivers must be bored as they are scraped down. A little snow the next few days in the forecast will be welcomed but all in all we are lucky to Ride the Top trails at the Top of Wisconsin. A little cold in the morning but a pretty good forecast for riding.

Waiting for SNOW to move in late Friday into Saturday. Looks like SNOW off & on Saturday. 2 plus inches. Trails could use more…Start Dancin! Trails conditions are all over the place & change quickly. Icy corners & even straightaways. Open areas have burn through areas along with trails that are on the northside of a road. Even in February that sun is warm.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows grooms left the Groomer Barn along Hwy 45N near the Snowmobile Derby Track last night & did a FULL GROOMING session with the exception of a short club trail called Uncle Kent’s which starts along Hwy G north of town & connects to trail 10W.
Best riding until SNOW moves in is north & woods trails. When you meet a groomer move over & stop to let them by.
Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. Several sleds have gone in the water far from the barrels.
Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! Trails Need More Fresh SNOW

Area Report:
The Three Lakes Brule River Trails system is in pretty good condition. We need snow, but with the cold weather we have not lost much. You may find a few snirty areas closer to town, but when you get out in the woods, they are really nice. Watch your corners, they are icy. We are on a regular grooming schedule. All of our system is currently open and in very good condition. Lakes are now marked. Stay close to the barrels for safe ice. Please stay on the trail and between the markers. Please remember to drop a few dollars in our donation boxes at your favorite trail stop. Every little bit helps.
