Trail Report: Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 20, 2017

Trail Conditions: Not Ridable

Snow Cover: 0 to 1 inch

Date of Report: February 20, 2017

Area Report:

Hello Riders!

Sawyer County trails are still open but not in good condition. The trails in the open and those exposed to the sun and elements are very bare and brown and are covered in what we in Sawyer County call SNIRT (snow + dirt)!

The lakes that are pulling up stakes include: east side of the Chippewa Flowage, west side of the Chippewa Flowage, and Lake Hayward.  We will continue to update as lake reports come in.

There is snow in the forecast the end of the week and later into the next two weeks, if we do get a fair accumulation the protected wooded trails do have a fair base and there could be some wooded rides mapped out. Again, we will update at that time.

Surrounding counties are wrestling with Mother Nature as well and have had to CLOSE their trails. Those counties are; Ashland, Washburn, Rusk, Price and the Clam Lake area. Bayfield County continues to be open as of today.

We will continue to post any updates as the week progresses and more decisions are made about lakes. Thank you for checking back and the well wishes for snow from all snowmobilers, it seems far too early for the season to be closing in. 

Thank you to all the club members and volunteers for your dedication and hard work and wishes to you all to stay safe as you take on the responsibilities to ensure our safety!

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: 4″ – 8″

Date of Report: February 20, 2017

Area Report:

The trails took a hit from the sun and warm weather over the weekend.   There’s still decent snow in the woods, but exposed areas and road crossings are bad.   The forecast is for cooler temperatures and snow later this week.  I believe we’ll be riding again in a week or so I’ll be updating again mid week.

Congratulations to “Skinny” Terry Mueller winner of the 2017 Skidoo.   A big thank you to all of you who support our club!  Our Winterfest and our snowmobile raffle were both very successful!

Trail Report: Boulder Junction, Wisconsin – February 20, 2017

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: 8-10

Date of Report: February 20, 2017

Area Report:

Trail report for February 20 2017-Trails are poor. With the 50 + temps and sunshine over the weekend the trails really took a hit. The corners and around town are bare and icy. We have slush and dirt where the sun hits our trails and logging areas are very bare. Please use caution. Out in the woods it is not that bad. We are expecting a little rain today. Hopefully our base can last because there is a snowstorm coming at the end of the week with several inches of snow possible.  We can always use more snow and cold weather!!!  Please be careful out there! Remember be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.
