Poor
No new news. Still waiting for new SNOW to improve the trails & handle the really icy conditions. Here is a statement from Sno-Eagles. Better START A BIGGER SNOW DANCE!
Snowmobile trails have degraded to POOR & not safe. Here is a statement directly from the President of the Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club, Keith Nettesheim:
“Trail Report
We’ve been receiving many inquiries if people should come up this weekend and how trail conditions will be. As of today, all main routes are bare near town and solid ice on routes out of town.
Conditions are POOR. We do not recommend riding this weekend or until conditions improve.
The temperature is finally falling below freezing, however this is leaving nothing bt ice everywhere making very hazardous conditions. If you’re coming up for the weekend, there’s plenty of fun going on across the Northwoods with various events, but you’re going to want to leave the sleds parked. We would rather be honest with you about conditions before you tear up your machines and are highly disappointed. Grooming operations are on hold until we receive some snow to work with. There is hope on the horizon with weather systems next week, but it’s too far out to get too excited about. Be sure to patronize our local establishments and sponsors to show your support.”
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are still marked. But recommend not riding. Surface is very hard thick ice with water over ice.
THINK COLD!!! Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!
See ya on the trails real soon!
