Trail Report – : Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 8, 2019

Reporter:boulderwi

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 14-16 inches

Date of Report: February 8, 2019

Area Report:

Trail report for February 8, 2019 – Trails are VERY GOOD. The several inches of snow we received yesterday made a lot of people very happy. The groomers were out last night and early this morning laying down a nice flat trail. We expect heavy traffic over the weekend. With all the snow we got it doesn’t take long before the trails degrade quickly. Washboard bumps can form very fast especially near town in congested areas. The temps dipped down below zero last night throughout this morning. This helps firm up the trail and it stays flatter longer. With all the expected increase in traffic this weekend lookout for the other riders. The corners and other areas remain icy. Please use caution. The groomers will be out during the night and early morning over the weekend doing what they can to make a great trail for you to ride on. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Trail Report – : Oconto County, Wisconsin – February 8, 2019

Reporter:Oconto County Tourism

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 8-10

Date of Report: February 8, 2019

Area Report:

Red Arrow Snowmobile Trails (Townsend) – It’s 14 degrees in beautiful downtown Townsend this morning. We received 6 1/2″ of fresh snow yesterday, and if my Weather Channel App is accurate, we could receive 5″-8″ more  Thursday. This should turn the area into snowmobilers heaven.

The groomers will most certainly be out working their magic on the trails tonight and throughout the rest of the week.

Paul Bunyan (Lakewood) – It’s 5:30 am Friday and the area received 5 to 6 inches of fresh snow. It started out as rain so this was a better packing snow to groom. The groomers got in early this morning and there is another shift going out to open the trails that are blocked by plowing operations on the town and county roads. It’s going to be windy so expect drifting snow in the open areas. Ride safe and watch for the groomers.

Chute Pond Snowmobile Trails (Mountain) – Chute Pond trails are open, being groomed, and are in very good condition. There may be some low hanging branches from the recent heavy snow (8-12” in the past week), so please use extra caution. Grooming will be ongoing- so please watch for them on the trail anytime of day or night- and always yield the right of way to the groomers. Stay to the right, and enjoy your ride!

Bagley and Brazeau Joyriders Snowmobile Trails – B &B Joyriders trails received 5” of new snow, Tuesday. The groomers have been out all day Wednesday and Wednesday night. They will be back out Friday after the next snow fall, 3” to 6” that maybe on the way. The trails are in good to very good condition. Some of the open fields on the south end of the trail system are a little light of snow. If you ride to Suring, the old trail is closed through the golf course, but the trail does go around it and back into town.

 
Gillett – Trails are open and groomed earlier today and in good shape.  Be aware there is ice under the snow be cautious.

Oconto Falls Sno-Jokers – Oconto Falls trails will be open today 2/7 at noon. We will be grooming today and tomorrow as our volunteer groomer drivers schedules allow.

Lena Snowdrifters-  Trails are open.

Chase Sno Chasers Trails – Trails are open.

The trails have a 10″ to 12″ base and are in good to excellent condition.

We cannot stress enough to RIDE SAFELY and RESPONSIBLY. Trail conditions vary greatly throughout the County.  Always use caution when riding on lakes and frozen water as ice conditions will vary.

The clubs that maintain the Forest County trail system are made up of volunteers who work very hard to provide the best trails possible.  Please respect them while on the trail. When approaching a groomer or member doing trail maintenance, please slow down and move over so they can do their job.
