Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Wednesday, 3/22/2023

12”-16” Base, Groomed and in Good Condition

At 8:00 a.m. it’s 31 degrees out with overcast skies and a high of 40 degrees for today. We had a dusting of snow last night.

We groomed 2W, 8W, and 15N to the Trail 6 intersection last night and Trail 8E to Nixon Lake Road and 15S to the Trail 11 intersection early this morning. Our drivers are reporting the trails are in very good condition.

Our road route through town is getting bare and there is a ½ mile section going west out of town on Trail 2W/8W between the S curves and the 2W/8W intersection that has new logging going on and it is mostly bare. This is a grin and bare it situation, but once past this area the trails are very good!

We have a slight daytime warmup coming this week, but will cool down at night and will allow the trails to remain rideable throughout the week.

We have 9 days left of the season, so get out and enjoy some good riding while you can.

Check in Friday, 3/24 for an updated trail report.

Enjoy our trails and local businesses this week and as always “Ride Right” and be safe.

Trail Report – : Sayner, Wisconsin – March 22, 2023

Reporter:SaynerStar Lake Barnstormers

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: Dwindling fast

Date of Report: March 22, 2023

Area Report:

Riders this past week have boasted that the trails have been amazing, and the minimal amount of traffic has been a huge bonus!

All good things must eventually come to an end. With temps hovering in the upper 30s and low 40s all week, we’ll see some significant melting. You can expect road crossings and many of the road routes to be increasingly bare. But, if you are willing to push through those areas, you’ll still find some great riding out in the woods. This could be the final week, so get out there and enjoy!

Unless we get some major weather changes, the Barnstormers will be doing very little grooming from this point on. It tends to do more damage than good when temps get this warm. The hills will also be getting very icy.

If you do plan to ride, be sure to call ahead to any of your usual stops as many have already closed for their usual spring break.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – March 22, 2023

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Good base in the woods, thin in open areas

Date of Report: March 22, 2023

Area Report:

We are coming down the home stretch. This will be the last good weekend to ride. There is plenty of snow in the woods, and those trails will hold up through the weekend. We got a dusting of snow last night, but won’t do anything significant for the trails. This is “late season” conditions. The road routes are bare, there are dirt spots on the exposed trails, and icy corners. But, you can still ride and have a good experience – and it’s late March…..

I have the trails as “fair” currently do to bare road routes and thinning exposed trails. Exposed trails will lose snow quickly with sunny days and warm temps.

Barrels have been removed from most lakes. Please consider that ride at your own risk.

Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the sport this season. Thank a landowner and club member. If it weren’t for these key cogs in the wheel, we all would be riding the ditches.
