Trail Report – : Lake Vermilion, St. Louis County, Minnesota – January 20, 2022

Reporter:Joy

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 16″ to 22″

Date of Report: January 20, 2022

Area Report:

With the fresh 6″ of snow, we are happy to report that our land trails are in excellent condition!

There have been reports of the Vermilion River as being “decent” now whereas before it was sketchy.

There has been very little traffic during the week. If this excites you, we highly recommend you get up here because this season is so short.

Here’s a Safety note from our local Vermilion Penguins Club: “As is far too often the case we encountered a few riders who ride smack down the middle of the trail and barely budge if at all even when meeting others. Please don’t do this, ride on your side whenever possible (trails last longer) and move over as far as you safely can when meeting other sleds. Clicking skis (or worse) in no fun and it’s dangerous. Nuff said.”

January 20, 2022

Hello Riders!

The weekend is upon us! Our groomers have been out grooming all week. They have been able to keep things nice and flat. The snow is a bit sugary in some areas which prevents it from sticking together but overall most trails from the south east corner to the north have been reported to be overall good. Some are fair where there are rocks and icy corners. The trails near or on the roads are poor and “snirty”. But as always, do not judge the trail conditions by the ones next to the roads, in the woods there is more protection. We can have 3′ on a trail next to the highway and due to it being in the open and those are generally heavily connecting trails they always look dirty. We do need more snow, that is a fact but temps have stayed cold to preserve the snow and groomers have been active and able pull in what they can from the sides so trails are defiantly rideable.

The lakes are great riding!! And full of all your favorite destinations so routing rides that bring you on the lake will be a good ride.

Forecast shows some snow Monday, we hope we can get a clipper of that. We will report after the weekend as we always do.

Trail Report – : Rice Lake & Barron County, Wisconsin – January 20, 2022

Reporter:Jody

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 6-8 inches

Date of Report: January 20, 2022

Snowmobile Information:

More than 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails lace Barron County, including the popular Tuscobia State Trail with 76 miles heading east from Rice Lake to Park Falls; the Wild Rivers Trail heading north from Rice Lake’s city limits leads 97 miles to Superior.

Barron County snowmobile and ATV trails remain closed. We’ve received approximately 8 inches of light snow, however it hasn’t provided a reasonable base to create sustainable snowmobile trails. Hopefully additional snow will arrive in the coming days and allow us to open the trails for the season.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
ON AVERAGE GOOD

January 20, 2022 – 7:50am 6 below – High of 8 today

After the SNOW yesterday the temps dropped to single digits & below zero last night. On our way home from a Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance there was some Lake Effect SNOW. Not much maybe 1/2 inch. Going to be cold until late next week. With SNOW tomorrow night.

The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows a shorter grooming session last night. Picking up the trails they didn’t catch on Tuesday night. All trails are in GOOD shape. Switch up this morning. Here are the trails that were groomed last night.

Trail 10W13N heading north from the Groomer Barn located across the Hwy from the Derby Track all the way to the connect with Conover. No grooming from Hwy G crossing to where the trail comes out on Adams Road
Wisconsin River bridge crossing of Trail 10W/13N
Trail 13N heading north to the Bauer’s Dam area which is Buckatabon Road & Lake

Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & are open. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN at this time.

Trails everywhere in Vilas County are on average GOOD condition. The new SNOW covered the areas that were showing snirt. Wet SNOW followed by deep freeze temps with grooming in between sure made some great trails. Even the blow outs are pretty much taken care of. No problem areas that we found anywhere. Next ride Friday or Saturday.

Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions. Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com

Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! Never enough SNOW!

See ya on the trails!!

Trail Report – : Sugar Camp, Wisconsin – January 19, 2022

Reporter:Matt Winters

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 18″-22″

Date of Report: January 19, 2022

Area Report:

For the most part our trails are in good to excellent condition. After last weekends heavy traffic they took a beating but held up reasonable well considering the amount of traffic. Expect to encounter a few icy corners and maybe a few light choppy spots but nothing out of the ordinary after a busy weekend. We were finally able to get our equipment thru the last stubborn swampy patch that didn’t want to freeze. The lakes are frozen quite well but expect to encounter some heavy drifting. Be safe and have fun.
