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. 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.

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Good to Excellent
Temps in the deep freeze for another day. Back up to the 20’s during the day on Saturday. SNOW Thursday morning. Inch or 2. Trails have a hard ice base with plenty of loose SNOW on top making them “fast”. Meaning slippery. Some corners have “blow outs” in the corners. They are GOOD to EXCELLENT just slow down.
Trail 10E has a one-way section that starts at Taylor Lake Rd. When riding & head east past the ERRA Sports Arena you ride on the south side of Hwy 70E. This goes all the way to the gas station. When riding & heading west from the gas station you ride on the north side of Hwy 70E. All road crossings have signs that say DO NOT ENTER – if you are going the wrong way. Please be aware & do not go the wrong way on these trails.
Going to be cold the next few days. Most nights below zero. If you are riding here are some tips:
Tell someone where you are riding
Dress in layers
Stop more frequently & drink non alcoholic beverages
Take cell phone & store in an inner layer pocket
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are marked. 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.
Last, off trail riding is a big problem. PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL & Take the Snowmobilers Pledge.
Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! THINK COLD!
Be Safe & See ya on the trails!

Area Report:
Trails are in excellent condition with some fresh snow last week and cold temperatures. The cold has brought us some icy corners and hills, just take it easy in the corners and keep right.
Lakes are all marked, stay close to the barrels for the safest ice.
Remember, the groomers have the right of way. If you come upon one, they will stop and let you by when it’s the safest. We typically groom at night, but there are times when you will see one during the day.

Snowmobile Information:
We still have plenty of snow, but there was a high volume of traffic this weekend. We saw a lot of groups 10 to 15 sleds repeatedly. Hornshoe Groomer was down Saturday due to the manufacturer defects that we are continually wrenching and cobbling on. We tried again yesterday, and got shut down due to a couple of sensor issues that may have resulted from wiring in the area we always work on. We will get back online as soon as we can, and I will report updates as they develop. Until then, ride safe and stay to the right. I have seen a lot of corner cutters recently. Mark
