SNOWMOBILE TRAILS IN EAGLE RIVER
Good to Very Good
Eagle River ended up with over 4 inches of SNOW from Monday night into mid morning yesterday. Later afternoon that SNOW was topped off with a schiff of Lake Effect SNOW. Better yet the temps have dropped. High today of 12 with 7 below tonight. Thursday high of 17 & low of 3. Looks like temps will pop up again starting Friday to next Tuesday. Stay tuned. Plenty of SNOW & it’s time to ride!
Groomer Tracking Systems (GTS Trails) reports in the last 24 hours nearly full grooming of trails. Listed are the trails NOT groomed
- 17N from intersection with 10W/13N “the grade” north of town to Columbus Rd
- 1 from intersection with 17N to the Eagle Lake boat launch
- 1 aka Chanticleer Inn trail from 10E to the entrance to the Eagle Lake trail
ALL OTHER TRAILS GROOMED
Mid week riding a great idea. Traffic is less than the weekends. Riding in the area found GOOD to VERY GOOD conditions with areas of EXCELLENT. Trail 10E & the 13’s in the Buckatabon/Bauer’s Dam area are 2 EXCELLENT trails. No problem areas to report at all. The cold temps have kept the swamp sections of the trails frozen. With regular grooming these areas have smoothed out from where they were earlier this winter. COLD over the next 2 days will keep everything in shape.
Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked. With the cold no surface slush. Eagle Lake a little chop but nothing bad. Icy with blow off of snow in some sections. Please slow down. Remember not all lakes are safe. Check maps & looks for markers. If you don’t see any the lake is not safe.
Last be sure to stay on the right side when riding. Straight aways, corner & hills.
Today is Wednesday & the Sno-Eagles guided trail. Meet at 9am at the Historic Railroad Depot on trail 10/13 across from Friendship House.
KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!!
Not riding today but see you on the trails soon!
