Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club Trail Report – Wednesday, 1/25/2023

At 8:00 a.m. it’s 23 degrees out with light snow following and a chance of afternoon snow flurries.

We groomed 2W, 8W, 51, 15N, and 6E last night and 15S and 11 early this morning.

We are seeing moderate sled traffic on our trails. In the last 2 weeks, we have had over 5000 sleds go past our trail counter with a total of over 9,000 for the season.

With daily grooming, some more light snow, and colder temps coming, our trails should hold up well for mid-week riding and overall are in good to very good condition.

Look for an updated report on Friday, 1/27.

Trail Report – : Spooner and Washburn County, Wisconsin – January 25, 2023

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Open

Snow Cover: 10+

Date of Report: January 25, 2023

Area Report:

There has been a recent dusting of snow across the county. Area Clubs & County Staff are continuing to maintain a close eye on trails and their conditions. All of the clubs are reporting the trails to be in great condition for riding. There are some areas and sections of trails getting soft with the recent rain and warmer temps at the beginning of the week. Cooler temps & more snow is in the forecast so the trail base should harden back up and create great riding for the remainder of the season. Please remember to ride with caution and stay on designated trail surfaces. Clubs are out grooming and maintaining the trails on a regular basis so please use caution when you encounter grooming equipment

Snowmobile Information:

A lot of Ashland County snowmobile trails are on farmers land, please be respectful so we don’t lose our easement to their property. Snowmobiles may not be modified, or operated, to amplify or otherwise increase the total vehicle noise above the originally manufactured snowmobile noise level.

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 from Superior to Ashland. There are still several areas on the eastern end that require attention but all known hazards have been identified and marked. Use caution when approaching ribbons, barricades, and cones.

Important reminders: There is no snowmobiling allowed from Ashland to Bad River/Odanah as snowmobiling is not permitted on reservation land. However, snowmobiling is allowed from Bad River east to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 25, 2023

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-16”

Date of Report: January 25, 2023

Area Report:

Nothing really new to report. Trails are holding up and we have been grooming every night. Trail Boss Chad was able to groom the south end of the cemetery trail on Monday night and did the north end from K to marsh area on Tuesday night. Hopefully with the cold temps coming in this weekend will freeze that little section up in the swamp.

There is a little snow in the forecast for Friday, 1-2” so far predicted.

News and Reports:

We have a spot that sleds are riding off trail. This is on Trail 3 where sleds are going past a barrier and caution tape to ride on the ATV trail. We don’t have permissions for snowmobiling on this private land. Please stay on the trail.

If you find a condition that you need to report to the Conover Sno-Buddies like a down tree, water on the trail, etc, either message us on Facebook, use the contact page on our website, or even notify a local establishment. They know how to get a hold of us to fix the issue.

A reminder to ride between the orange blazers. Along Hwy K West, there were several 100 trees removed this summer to place new electric poles. Most of the stumps are still there. If you were to hit one, it could ruin your trip quickly. Ride Right ➡️ Ride Safe.

SNO-EAGLES
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Very Good to Excellent

Trails have plenty of SNOW & in great shape. Sun did come out later yesterday afternoon & soften SNOW. Was 15 overnight so after grooming trails set up great. Some SNOW off & on today and tomorrow into Friday morning. Maybe an inch or 2 over the 3 days. START DOIN’ A SNOW DANCE! Friday night temps will drop into single digits. Temps are forecast to be in the single digits during the day & below zero at night until Monday, February 6. Snows not going anywhere.

Groomers doing a fantastic job this season. Early panning built the base of ice that held up for the most part during the past major warm up. Last night groomed from the groomer barn:

10W/13N heading north to 17N intersection
17N to 3N aka Manske Swamp intersection
3N heading west to 10W/13N intersection
10W/13S heading south through Eagle River to intersection with 10E
10E all the way to Three Lakes connect – to include trail to Chanticleer Inn & Eagle Lake & 9 mile trail that connects to Three Lakes
70W/13 west from behind the Dairy Queen/Super 8 to the St. Germain connect at Wood Duck Lane.

Found great riding in all directions. Road & driveway crossings all have high banks. Really a good idea to stop at the stop signs. Also softer SNOW brings blow outs in the corners & they are very icy.

Do know Eagle & Catfish Lake trails still have drifts & surface slush off the marked trail so please stay by the orange reflective barrels. Remember not all lakes are safe.

NOTE: Off of Trail 70W after entering St. Germain is a trail locals call “The Goat” trail. It is a Club Trail that starts at TIN 287 to TIN 288 that is CLOSED. It is clearly marked as CLOSED with fencing & signs. Please do not ride through this area from either direction. DO NOT RIDE ON HWY 70 as this is not legal.

On snowmobile designated road routes need to follow the speed limit set for the road for all vehicles.

Last, off trail riding is a big problem. PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL & Take the Snowmobilers Pledge.

Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! THINK COLD!

See ya on the trails real soon!

Gogebic Area Grooming

Trail report Jan. 22,2023

The Lake Gogebic Area has been an area of extremely high traffic and groomers have been doing all they can to keep up with the volume of visitors! Thanks go out to the cold temperatures for coming in strong and helping to close up any remaining spots. Cold temperatures are to remain constant this week with mid 20’s during the week and down into the teens in the evenings. Snow is forecasted for several days this week and we will see what happens!

Trail Report – : Iron County, Michigan – January 24, 2023

Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 12-18 inches

Date of Report: January 24, 2023

Area Report:

Trails remain in good condition… groomers and operators are out daily. Reports coming in the trails are looking good. There is still a closing on Trail #15 N to Trail #111…. there is a problem with one of the bridges on this trail. Riding in any direction should be good for the week and weekend.. nice cold temps in the forecast.

Trail #2, Trail #16, Trail #116, Trail #107, Trail #113 and Trail #18 to Republic are all in Good to Very Good condition.

Trail #15 S. to Wisconsin is in Fair to Good condition.

Just a reminder that the corners can be a little icy so try to stay on your side of the trail.. and also there are different levels of riders out on the trails.. some starting to learn.. some seasoned and some well seasoned. Please use caution and be patient when coming upon riders… pass at a stop sign.. pull over and let the faster riders behind you pass safely…. and don’t forget your hand signals. All the things we were suppose to learn in snowmobile safety classes still apply everyone. We all want you to get home safely after your snowmobile trip up north.

Also, very IMPORTANT. Give the groomer operators room on the trails if you see them and as always a Thumbs-Up never hurts… they keep your trails smooth! 😉

Happy Trails Y’all !!

Snowmobile Information:

Don’t forget Michigan has a “Free Snowmobile Weekend” coming up February 11th & 12th. No Michigan permit is needed for your sled that weekend… but we all do hope you come up and ride here in Iron County more then just once this winter.. you’re going to “Love It” once you try it. 🙂

Trail Report – : Hurley, Wisconsin – January 24, 2023

Reporter:hurley@hurleywi.com

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 12-16

Date of Report: January 24, 2023

Snowmobile Information:

The White Thunder Rider trails are mostly Good to Excellent at this time, with light snow falling. Groomer volunteers have been out regularly and even with the continued high traffic, the cooler temperatures have helped cement things in. Watch for a small area marked with cones along South Island Lake Road (trail 13) where we have tried to fill an active water area once again. A change in trail position onto the road is planned there today. Also slow down and watch for equipment and icy corners in logging areas. The trail 17 corridor continues to be groomed daily, and several sections multiple times, but this sugar snow just doesn’t set up as nice as the woods trails.

Ride Safe,, Ride Right, Watch for Groomers, Stay on the Trails, and Use Hand Signals.
