Prentice Bush Benders Trail Report 01/17/2019

The trails are in fair condition in the wooded areas and poor condition with minimal snow coverage in the open areas and around the village of Prentice. They are still in early season riding condition with some rough spots. We are currently grooming/panning the trails once per week until we get more snow and can start normal grooming operations. The trails to the South and East of Prentice have the most snow cover and all creeks and swamps remain frozen at this time. There is logging on trail 181 East of Prentice and on trail 116 around County Road K. With the base we have down trail conditions will improve quickly if we get more snow. Ride safe and have fun.

The Sno Drovers 1/15/19

The Sno Drovers’ trails in the Pike Lake area continue to be in fair to good condition. While the weekend traffic was hard on the thin snow cover, but they are grooming up well. There are rocks in areas that have made their way to the top of the snow, especially on 101 west from the lakes by the iron bridge and on 111 just north of Fish Trap Road. There are occasional bare spots, but not too many nor too bad. If we get just a few inches of snow, the trails should be great since they are nice and flat now.

Logging continues on Trail 120 south of the big swamp and Fould’s Creek Rd and on Trail 108 between Trail 101 and highway 70. Take these slowly and expect icy conditions and logging equipment.

Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – January 18, 2019

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 4-8 inches

Date of Report: January 18, 2019

Area Report:

Trail report for January 18, 2019 – Trails good to fair. Our groomers were out last night and early this morning grooming our complete trail system. With the lack of new fresh snow there is not a lot of snow to work with on the trails. The only good thing is the very cold temp we are having. The cold temps are stiffening up our trails and staying flatter longer. We expect heavy traffic over the weekend and no snow in the forecast expected. With the lack of snow on the trails the corners and other areas can be bare and icy. Please use extreme caution. We are having a snowmobile club breakfast/meat paddle raffle this Sunday at Gooch’s. Please come and join us for some good eats and fun! Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Trail Report – : Three Lakes – Brule River, Wisconsin – January 18, 2019

Reporter:Threelakeswi

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 3-8”

Date of Report: January 18, 2019

Area Report:

Here are your current conditions:
With a dusty of new snow of the past few days it did whiten things up and add some lubrication for the slides that is much needed. This will be a very busy weekend. Our groomers will be out nightly. All trails are now open and groomed. Trails are holding up well with the snow that we have. Lots of icy corners, so make sure your carbides are fresh. More snow in the woods with a few bare spots closer to town. We will be out nightly working with the snow that we have.

Lakes are all marked. Remember, stay as close to the barrels as possible. If you don’t see barrels, assume they are not safe.

Please respect our private landowners and stay on the trail. We have had a couple issues this year already and it always puts our trails in danger.

Use caution at all road crossing as they are icy.

Trail Report – : Eagle River, Wisconsin – January 18, 2019

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: Hard base & snow covered – Plenty of Lake Effect yesterday in the afternoon

Date of Report: January 18, 2019

Area Report:

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS ARE OPEN!
Still Early Season Riding Trails Good to Fair

January 18, 2019 6:38am – 5 below – High of 10

Another day of cold. This will continues through Monday. Single digits or teens during the day. Below zero or single digits at night. Groomers out last on trails east, north & south. Some grooming. More panning. Met the groomer on 10E last night about 8:45pm when returning from a Club meeting.

Lake Effect SNOW off & on all day yesterday. Snowed most of the late afternoon out east & northeast. Takes a lot of Lake Effect to amount to any totals. Out east about 1- 1 1/2 inches. Northeast much more. In town looked to be less than an inch. Never know about the Lake Effect start DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE to bring that SNOW down from over Lake Superior.

All in all the trails need more SNOW. Best riding is heading east, northeast, north, far northwest, south & southeast. All are SNOW covered. From Eagle River 10E is very snirty & rough from Loon Lake Rd through the woods to Bloom Rd. It improves in the 1 way section at the Sports Arena all the way out to Phelps & Three Lakes trail connects. That is both ways. Out & back.

Heading south 3/13S aka “the grade” it good until the sections where you come out onto Bloom Rd. Icy, snirty & rough areas. No word or report on the trails into Three Lakes.

Heading north with all the traffic 3/13N aka “the grade” is SNOW covered but the section after you cross Adams Rd is rough. Needs more SNOW to fix that. West on 10/13 aka Wisconsin River Bridge there are good & rough areas. Icy at the bridge. 17N has is a mixed bags of riding. Same with 1 that heads to Eagle Lake from the north.

The trails heading west are thin. That starts at the Town of Lincoln Town Hall to close to the Eagle River Inn. When you cross over to the north side of the road to cross the Rec Bridge. Improves there. Heading south on 7/17S it’s pretty good to the turn onto 7 aka the Paint Ball Field. In the woods on 7S good. Heading south on 17S was very mushy. Cold last night should have changed that. Heading west on 70 thin until after you cross Hwy 70W neat Zeman Rd. Snow covered on the south side of the road. Thins out when you cross over to the north side of the road. The high hill on the north side across from the Wisconsin river is icy & snirty.

Going to see snirt at the road crossings. Plenty of sanding was done on the roads. Same for many road trails. It is icy underneath everywhere so slow down.

Sno-Eagles Country has 2 areas that have one-way trails. 10E is a one-way trail from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart. The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area. Clearly marked with DO NOT ENTER signs. Plus trail signs are backwards if you are going the wrong way.

EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Stay by the reflective orange barrels. Do not drift away from the barrels as it is not safe to do so. Remember not all lakes have trails so if you don’t see marker do not ride on it to be safe. These are the only 2 lakes that are marked in Sno-Eagles Country. No other lake trails.

Also there is a dusk to dawn speed limit of 55 MPH.

Continue DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE & THINK COLD!

See ya on the trails tonight!

Trail Report – : Ashland County, Wisconsin – January 17, 2019

Reporter:info@visitashland.com

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: 2-8 inch base

Date of Report: January 17, 2019

Snowmobile Information:

Trails in Ashland County are open, except the trail from Marengo north to the East end of Ashland, that section is closed. Trails are being groomed from Marengo South. North of Marengo is not being groomed at this time. There is a detour on 77 by Cayuga. Detour is posted. Conditions at this time are rough. Watch out for open water in spots. Ride at your own risk.
As always please follow the snowmobile trail rules and regulations. Stay on trail, as much of the Ashland County snowmobile trail system uses private property and could be lost if the property owners experiences issues. The most common complaints are snowmobiles not staying on trails or going off into fields that are not part of the trail, and loud noise from non-stock muffler systems. Respect the trail system so that it remains open. As always operate with everyone’s safety in mind and report any hazardous trail issues that are observed to the Ashland County Sheriff’s Department (715-682-7023 opt 1) so that it can be forwarded to the appropriate service.

The Tri-County Corridor is OPEN but conditions are poor at this time for riding.

Approach all wet areas with extra caution and be prepared to turn around if the crossing appears suspicious. Be wary of low hanging branches, wet areas, downed trees and/or limbs, and other similar hazards that may compromise the trail. Use extra caution, be prepared to turn around or find an alternate route and stay on the trails!
