Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – January 11, 2021

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 6 inches

Date of Report: January 11, 2021

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

Northern end of the county are good conditions and southern end of the county are fair conditions.

While we haven’t had any new snow we have not had warm temps and our trails have held on to what they have quite nicely. Spoke to several riders throughout the weekend and today already, all seasoned riders and they continue to be surprised how good the trails have held up from the Flowage to the north! There are some rocks and some inside corners that have some washboard and the trails along the highways are pretty brown but once in the woods they are quite good.

Not many groomers have been out, a few and in some short distanced areas to not disrupt what is there. All this being said our forecast shows snow Thursday and Fri before the weekend!! This will be very much celebrated! Even a simple 3″ would make conditions in many areas of the county excellent!

As we have mentioned the sights in the Northwood’s have been breathtaking! Everything encased in frost makes the world up here look almost black and white! Riders seeing deer, eagles and ELK! A little fresh snow before the weekend will be just the soul food you all need to get your sleds and gear ready! We will update as we get closer to the weekend and see that snow fall!

All of the lakes have been reported to be staked with the exception of LCO, still some large grey areas. They are checking it several times this week and hope to perhaps have staked soon. We will update with that ETA as mother nature does her thing! Some lakes have slush. Always ride the staked trails, wondering away from them can provide open spots, stumps, rocks, heaves, fisherman shanties and tip ups, plowed ice roads for shanties that creates a berm, etc. Ride smart and safe!

Surround counties: Washburn and Bayfield Counties are open, Ashland, Price and Rusk are closed, Barron partially open.

Thanks again for tuning in and check back later in the week for the weekends update!

The trails are rideable if you choose to ride but are in the very early winter conditions.

Conditions vary from good in the sun protected areas and roads to poor in some corners and the hilly terrain. You can expect some bare spots, icy corners, and exposed dirt and gravel.

Trail advisory: If riding on the Boulder Junction airport spur trail, please stay on the edge of the runway parallel to the road in both directions. Damage has been done to the runway and if it continues, we could potentially lose access to this trail.

Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report 1/8/2021

There was very little traffic this week and the trails have remained the same as our last report.

Are groomers have not been out since Monday and will not be out until we receive more snow.

I did a trail inspection by sled yesterday afternoon and found the trails to be rideable if you choose to ride but are in the very early winter conditions.

Conditions very from good in the sun protected areas and roads to poor in some corners and the hilly terrain. You can expect some bare spots, icy corners, and exposed dirt and gravel.

With warm temps and no snow in the near future, we will post another report when conditions change.

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 6″

Date of Report: January 11, 2021

Area Report:

just a quick update before the weekend. Nothing has changed since our Monday night update other than a few groomers went out and did what they can. We have not received any new snow but have not lost any either. The groomers were out from Nelson Lake to the Seeley Hills, the Moose Lake area and the Round Lake to Lost Land Lake area. South of the Flowage there are awaiting more snow before sending groomers out. The groomers that lead to LCO and Whitefish will not be out until those two lakes can be staked. There is no ETA on those at this point. We will update as soon as there is any insight.

We had a long time groomer/avid rider out yesterday checking trails in these areas of mention and they were pleasantly surprised, they rated most of those trails as good and rideable. We certainly need more snow and it will come, although doesn’t look until next week sometime but you can most certainly ride this weekend. Those riders put on about 125 miles and rode in the Round Lake area to the north through the Seeley Hills towards Lake Namakagon to Moose Lake to the Flowage and back down towards Round Lake. They rated Bayfield County as being good as well.

Perhaps take this weekend as an easy, relaxed ride opportunity and enjoy the sights! Our northwoods has been encased in frost and the views have been breathtaking! What a perfect way to get out of the house, away from current events and reconnect with the outdoors!

Trail Report – : Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin – January 10, 2021

Reporter:Phil

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: need more

Date of Report: January 10, 2021

Area Report:

Many thanks to Rob and Anthony for taking the groomers out Saturday night and they were actually able to do some good. There are some poor sections and some pretty good sections–especially out west. Please ride safely as the corners are icy and there are still ruts in places where we have not been able to fill them with the limited snowfall. Stay on the trails as we do not need any unhappy land owners—without them we have NO TRAILS.

News and Reports:

Club Party Tuesday night at the Gateway Lodge. If interested in attending call Erika or Phil at Sunrise 715 547 3684.

Trail Report – : Phelps, Wisconsin – January 10, 2021

Reporter:Phelps Snowmobile Club

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: 5″- 7″

Date of Report: January 10, 2021

Area Report:

The Phelps trail system had been groomed coming into the weekend. Lack of snow to work with has left the trails in poor riding conditions. Grooming operations will be paused until more snow arrives. Trails are open and caution should be used. As a reminder, if out on the trails and you come along logging operations, Please give the right of way to the loggers and their equipment. Not only are those areas dangerous, but lack of good safe riding could lead to the trail closouers i that area or a reroute around it. Also, I know how fun back country or off trail riding can be. But here in Phelps and Vilas county, it is illeagal and could cost us the loss of trails on private and possible public property. Remeber the old AWSC saying: Stay on the Trail, It Never Fails.
