Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – February 1, 2022

Area Report:

February 1, 2022 – 7:14am 27 degrees – High of 32 today

The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows grooms left the Groomer Barn & headed north & northwest on 10W/13N grooming it all.  To include all the 13N loops far north,  Wisconsin River section of 10W/13N.   No grooming of 10W after crossing the Wisconsin River section.  That area has the best snow & riding.

Way to much sun yesterday.  Trails have soften up everywhere.  Best riding in Eagle River is 10W/13N heading north out of Eagle River as it has the most woods cover.  With the sun yesterday & more today trails on the northside of roads, like 10E are very soft with snirt & burn through areas.  Southside of the road trails, like 10E are still fine.  Heading west of Eagle River on 70W trails are Poor & need snow.  Heading south on 17S toward the Sugar Camp trails is still Fair to Good as it is on the west side of the road.  Trail 7 aka Paint Ball Field is Good as it is in the woods.  It comes out at Cty Hwy H near the Kathan Inn.  Heading east on 10E the one that is on the southside is in Good shape.  Heading back to town on the west side 10E which is the northside of the Hwy 70E has snirt, snow & burn throughs.  So ride north for the best trails.

The warm up ends today.  32 today with 2 below tonight. Starting tomorrow for most of the week 10’s or less with double digits BELOW ZERO. Next SNOW on Saturday.  Start Dancin’

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

See ya on the trails!

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – February 1, 2022

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Hanging tough

Date of Report: February 1, 2022

Area Report:

The trails are in overall “good” condition.  There is some variation out there from fair to very good.  I feel comfortable in rating them good overall.  All of the fire lane type trails are very good, snow covered and flat.  The exposed trails (like Trail 8 – along the highway) are thin with snirty areas.  There isn’t enough snow to fill in deep holes so there are some bumps that can’t be filled without pulling all of the base off the trails.  The tight corners are down to the ice base, so be aware of those while riding.

The lakes are all marked and not showing any signs of slush.  There are multiple roads across Boom Lake so use extreme caution when traveling on that route.  The snow cover on the lake is low, so the ice fisherman can travel about anywhere so there can be truck tracks and / or plowed roads in multiple locations.

There is one trail closure on the Hodag Sno-Trails system: Trail H4 from Boom Lake to the intersection just north of River Rd. This is basically the “land” route to not running Boom Lake.  The trail is closed at this point.  We have been just notified that this is a permanent closure.  Running the lake is the reroute.  The club is continuing to look for another “land route” but it takes time and money (unfunded – club trail).

Keep an eye out for grooming activity at anytime.  We continue to double-groom on days we need to for coverage of one of our groomers.  The guys have been keeping up during this spell with a groomer down.  I believe the trail conditions have not suffered at all during this time.

The trails are holding up with the volume of traffic and lack of fresh snow.  We do need fresh snow, but don’t use that as an excuse not to ride.   

Get out and have some fun, it’s a limited season in length.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – January 31, 2022

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 2-6″

Date of Report: January 31, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

I will still rate our trails good, but fair is on the horizon. 29 with sun today, and warmer tomorrow. Trail 17, the grade, is like the top of my head – there is hair yet, but it takes a lot of arranging to make it look nice. We need snow. The groomers are trying to pull what they can out towards the middle, especially in the corners in the Raven Lake area. All of the corners are blown out and icey so caution is advised. Trail 5 into the casino is great. 17 north near and at the marsh has little or no snow. People headed north I would still recommend trail 1, Stearns Lake Road to East Boundary trail then hook up with 51. It is thin also but the sleds are working the banks, and I can keep my sled cool and it struggles with thin conditions. We will only groom a couple of times this week, then look at it near the weekend. I ran the whole circuit this afternoon, and it was great riding, just need to be cautious in spots. Mark
