Area Report:
Went out riding on Thursday and Friday. Trails were in very good shape. There were a few spots where base was low, but they were in very good shape over all.
The cemetery trail was groomed last night. Just about everything was hit last night, and we will be at it again Saturday night.
There is no snow in the forecast for this week except maybe a small clipper coming through late next week. All the storms hitting the west coast hard are not making it past the Rocky Mountains. At some point, this will change.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
EARLY SEASON RIDING – Fair on average – Good North
The temps have dropped but not much new SNOW the forecast. Overnight for the next 3-4 days will be in the low teens or lower. 20’s during the day. What isn’t in the forecast is SNOW. Need a SNOW DANCE!
Longer report again this morning to give you some ideas on riding.
The best riding is still heading north out of town. That would be Trail 10/13. Icy corners most everywhere. Wisconsin River Bridge area of Trail 10/13 that heads west had slushy spots on the approach to the bridge on both sides. Wasn’t out there but have to believe it’s crusty & rough now with the cold. There is room to get around those spots. In town trails are crusty, but SNOW covered especially heading south through town on Trail 10/13.
Trail 10E is ragged from the turn where 10E & Alt 13 split. Icy & thinner on the first section to the Bloom Rd crossing. Road icy. Where the one way section starts there is a total burn through. Once at the Hockey Arena it improves. All SNOW covered but icy with not a lot of lubrication. When trail merges back together riding still fair with some very icy corners. Pick up the Three Lakes & take a ride on what the local call the Kimball Creek trail. Into Three Lakes & back up on Alt 13 to Eagle River. Yesterday afternoon there was fair amount of traffic going east & returning west. BE SURE YOU ARE GOING THE CORRECT WAY ON THE ONE WAYS. There were several riders going the wrong way yesterday.
Nearly a full groomer session last night & very early this morning.
NOT GROOMED – Trail 1N heading to Eagle Lake, the spur that takes you Trigs Shell & Trails 70W toward St. Germain(very thin snow), Trail 17S toward Sugar Camp & Trail 7 aka Paintball Field
NOTE – DEERVIEW LANE SECTION OF TRAIL 1N THAT HEADS TO EAGLE LAKE STILL HAS HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. Slow down & be aware.
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are open & marked. Take it slow. Hard rough & some shiny ice. Always stay by the orange reflective barrels to be safe.
Some reminders when you ride. Have a Map or Phone App. Please no off trail riding & stop at driveways. Also as you ride you might meet a groomer. They are big & can’t pull over for us. So pull over & let the driver direct you. And oh ya give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!!!
Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! THINK COLD!
See ya on the trails real soon!!

Area Report:
We are OPEN!
News and Reports:
We are OPEN! Trails are cleared, rolled, and groomed! Thank you to all our groomers for all your hard work after days of heavy snowfalls and clearing lots of fallen trees.
Snowmobile Information:
WE ARE OPEN. As of 1/6/2023 Trails are 100% cleared, rolled, and groomed. Please be respectful of all posted signage and private property that land owners are kind enough to let us use. Snow is softer due to warmer temperatures the last few days. Garden Lake has been staked. Lake Namakagon is not staked: due to snow cover, ice depth continues to be variable. Use Extreme Caution if riding on the lake. There will be large equipment on Trail 31 into Sawyer County for the next couple of days so please avoid.
The Cable Area in Northern Wisconsin has over 1,200 miles of interconnecting snowmobile trail systems, making it one of the largest trail systems in the U.S. Uncrowded trails and the solitude of the Chequamegon National Forest bring snowmobilers back again and again to the Cable Area.

Area Report:
We did get 3-4 inches of heavy wet snow over the last few days and really helped with our trail system, some corners are icy so slow down. Most lakes are marked so stay by the markers because you might hit slush. Waiting on Lake Minocqua yet as there are still spots by the islands that are not thick enough until we get cold weather, forecast looks now to be below freezing all week. Savemore bay has plenty of ice from hwy 70 west trail to the bearskin trail but we cant just mark part of the lake until the the rest is good to go and safe.

Area Report:
At 8:00 a.m. it’s 18 degrees out with clearing skies. We groomed 2W, 8W, 51, 15N and 6E last night and 8E, 11, and 15S early this morning.
Overall, our trails are in good condition. Our road routes such as 2W on Kego Road, 51 on Day Lake Road, 8E on Nixon Lake Road, 6E on Old B, and Trail 11 south of the 11/15S intersection are in very good condition with the rest of our trails in good condition. With the moderate traffic, Corridor 15N and 15S usually develop some moguls by the end of the day, but are groomed daily to keep them smooth.
If you are in our area this week, enjoy our trails and stop in and support our local businesses.Look for an updated report on Monday, 1/09/23.
