March 11, 2018 – 7:10am

VILAS COUNTY TRAILS ARE OPEN
Snowmobile Trails Can Remain Open Until Midnight March 31st
Conditions permitting

Holy Moly it is cold this morning! 7 degrees! 38 for a high. The trails really need some new SNOW. There is a 40% chance of SNOW on Monday. Then out farther there is SNOW possibly next weekend. That’s pretty far out there & might change. Clubs on the north edge of the County and far east report the best conditions. On average FAIR.

As for right here in Eagle River, Sno-Eagles Trails are FAIR-POOR. Very little change over the last few days. In town trails are POOR. The base is hard on some of the “grade” but there is also crusty base. At crossings very little snow & snirty. Many of the road trails for the most part have little or no snow on them. In woods trails particularly way out east, north & southwest are FAIR with even some areas of GOOD but this is getting far & few between. That would be 6 miles or more. A lot of adventure sledding to get there however. Trailering & dropping off to ride is a good bet.

No grooming at this point.

Here are some continuing areas to be aware of:

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. With the log piles and icy grainy conditions in that section it would be good to slow down. Minimal grooming due to the logging operation.

The Northland Pines School Forest logging project has expanded to Trail 17N. It begins on the east side of Hwy 45N. From town that would be heading north and when you reach the 17N/3N intersection on the west side of the highway & cross Hwy 45N it begins just as you get across the road onto the trail. There are logs & equipment in that area. Slow down to be safe.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange easy to see reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. At the entrance to Eagle Lake on the south side off of Dollar Lake Rd there are some soft spots. Trail Boss is keeping an eye on it. Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open. Please do not trespass on private land.

Are you Dancin’? Can’t hear you! Man oh man I sure want to ride & so does my great grandson Jase!

See ya on the trails again real soon!

Chilly morning. 4 degrees right now with a high of 34 today. Evil sun will be out today. The trails really need some new SNOW. There is a chance of SNOW on Monday.

Trail Report – : Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan – March 9, 2018

Reporter:SaultSteMarie

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Base is 3 inches

Date of Report: March 9, 2018

Area Report:

Groomers out overnight and trails in fair to good shape yet. We did get 1-2 inches of snow but not like they predicted. Looks like most of it falling in LP where it’s a waste as their trails are dirt. Trails in woods are still good to excellent! They are icy and road shoulders are bare. Less snow base around Kinross area, without new snow they will not last much longer. We will continue grooming as needed for traffic and snow conditions. All are calling for temps in mid-30’s during the day but getting down to low 20’s overnight.

We have a newly-plowed parking area at the beginning of Trail #8 under the International Bridge, which now has an all-season porta-john. Make sure you lock your vehicles and trailers.

If you are staying in the Sault, please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!

Remember, trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less than an inch on the trail.

Sault Ste. Marie to Brimley, Trail #8 –

Base 1 – 4 inches -Trail is in fair to good condition.

Brimley to Raco, Trail #8 –

Base 2 – 4 inches -Trail is in good condition.

When going across the bridge in Brimley make sure you go with the flow of traffic! Blowing and drifting occurs when you first leave Brimley.

Raco to Naomikong Trail #8 [where Paradise meets us], Trail #8 –

Base 2 – 5 inches – Trail is in good condition.

Sault Ste. Marie City Trail, Trails #497, #449, parts of #8 & #49 –

Base 1 – 4 inches – Trail is in fair to good condition. Trail is groomed past Casino down to Antlers.

We now have a marked trail going to Chippewa Motors. It starts once you come out of the woods east of M-129 off #449. It comes into their parking lot from behind if you need parts or service.

City curfew is from 1 am – 6 am. Remember, most City streets are open to traffic 20 mph, stop at all intersections, and ride on the right-hand side of street not on sidewalks. Watch for closed streets that are posted, mainly around the hospital, university, and state trunk lines.

Sault Ste. Marie to Kinross, Trail #49 –

Base 1 – 4 inches – Trail is in fair to good condition.

Make sure you follow reroute once you cross bridge going south at 7 Mile Road.

When the trail is running along roads make sure you go with the flow of traffic on the right side of the road.

Kinross loop & south to Pickford, Parts of Trail #49, #472, and #494 –

Base 1- 2 inches – Trail is in poor to fair condition. Watch for trucks on trail.

Kinross to Raco & Rudyard, Parts of trail #472 & #480 –

Base 1 – 4 inches – Trail is in fair to good condition. Watch for reroute signs just west of Kinross. Trail to Rudyard has been groomed, but logging going on, too.

Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – March 9, 2018

Reporter:Price County Tourism Department

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 1 – 12 inch trail base

Date of Report: March 9, 2018

Area Report:

Price County snowmobile trails are in very good to good condition for the most part. We received approximately 4 – 6 inches of snow on Monday/Tuesday and all trails will be groomed by the weekend. The trails have a good base in most areas. Some corners are icy, some areas may have thin snow cover or bare spots starting, approaches to road crossings are becoming bare in some areas, and road routes only have a thin snow cover or are bare. During March, conditions can improve quickly if it snows or deteriorate quickly with sun and warm temps. Trails are being groomed when conditions permit.

Several miles of trail are open for winter ATV and UTV riding including the Flambeau Trail System, Solberg Trail, and Georgetown Trail. The Price County portion of the Pine Line Rail Trail (Prentice to Ogema), Snowmobile Trail 189 (Ogema to Timm’s Hill), and Snowmobile Trails 116, 181 and 118 (Prentice area loop) are also open to winter ATV and UTV riding when the trail is officially open to snowmobile use and the temperature is 28 degrees or colder.

Some Price County trails are on private land. The use of the private land is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. Please stay on marked trails, especially across fields. There have been many complaints from landowners due to snowmobilers not staying on the trail and riding all over their fields. To avoid having these TRAILS CLOSED, PLEASE respect the private land that is open to snowmobiling and stay on marked trails.

Trail Report – : Phelps, Wisconsin – March 9, 2018

Reporter:surtrac

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 20′

Date of Report: March 9, 2018

Area Report:

10:15 AM P/C +28 deg.
I rode our entire trail system Thur.and was pleasantly surprised
to find our trails were in good condition with a few the exceptions.
Road routes are getting thin and the logging area S/W of town along
with a few small areas out in the woods.
High temps are only forecast to be in the mid 30’s next week so if
that holds we will be in good shape.
Will report as soon as things change.

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – March 9, 2018

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 0 to 6 inch base

Date of Report: March 9, 2018

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

Good news to all that have been eagerly awaiting a trail report after having some warm days! Your patience has paid off as we come with good news! The reports from around the county are that trails are good to excellent still! Fortunately because we received such an accumulation last night that snow was a blessing that will bring riding through the rest of the week and weekend!

But wooded trails still have a up to a 6 inch base and the lakes are wonderful! So while mapping out your weekend ride look to the woods and lakes and minimize trails that are on or near the roads. The season isn’t over yet so hop on your sled and get out and ride this weekend!

**NOTE** Trail caution: Lake Hayward has OPEN WATER at the bridge.

Surrounding counties are also reporting to be good to excellent.

Thank you to all club members, volunteers and groomers. And thank you to all of you for choosing Sawyer County as your riding destination.
