It’s the start of the weekend & a warm up.  Will be 40’s next few days. 20’s at night.  Then dropping on Tuesday below freezing during the day & teens at night.  Best new is SNOW Tuesday through Thursday.  No hard totals.  Stay tuned.

As for the trails.  Rode late afternoon yesterday to see how trails held up.  Trail 10E one way heading to town on the northside of the road was GOOD.  Surprised as the northside of the one way trails go south first.  Roads are breaking down. Grade (10/13) to town SNOW covered & EXCELLENT.  At the Dairy Queen crossing it was slushy.  Through town real soft but SNOW covered. True all the way to 10/13 Hwy G crossing.  Undercover on 10/13 all SNOW covered & VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT.  Honest!! Rode to Trail 3 intersect.  Head south on 3.  It was soft & browning from the highway chemicals floating on. No bare sports.  Rode to Trails 3 & 17 intersection.  Took 17N almost to Phelps.  It was all SNOW covered except Columbus Rd & Shangri La Rd.  From Shangri La Rd where Phelps trails start it was VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT.  All road sections covered with SNOW & some ice.  Headed back toward Eagle River to Trail 1 aka Deerview Rd which has a great birm on the north side with plenty of SNOW.  Town Hall Rd portion of Trail 1 is icy.  The trail birm on the west side was GOOD.  One section had some large SNOW chunks from road clearing.  Watch for that. Eagle Lake is moguled but safe all the way.  E. Dollar Lk Rd section of 1 was 1/2 bare.  Trail 1 on east side of road was SNOW filled & pretty smooth. Trail 10 heading east was well ridden & choppy all the way home.  Lots of traffic.  The bridge crossing by Boat Sport is at Adventure sledding level.  Cement & mud especially on the east side.

************************************
Daily Reminders:   
Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed.  The Club is working on a reroute.

Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail.  There are mogul drifts along the barrels so recommend slowing down. Lots of SNOW mist so leave space between you & rider in front. 
   

Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter.  If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights                                           

Riding later today to see how SNOW is holding
See ya on the trails!!
