GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours

Trail grooming continued last night with an almost full grooming. Nearly a full trail system grooming overnight. Only Trail 10E & the spurs off of 10E, 1 that leads to the Eagle Lake boat launch on the northside of the lake & small section of 17N were not groomed.

Best way to learn the trails is to buy a Sno-Eagles trail map. It also had the entire Vilas county trails on the backside.  Plus download the GTS trails app  It is available at the App Store.

We have entered the “Adventure Sledding” time of the season.  When riding expect all sorts of conditions.  Next SNOW is Sunday with an 80% chance. 2-4 inches forecast.   If ya THINK COLD maybe it all will stick.  START DANCIN

Did our riding yesterday west of Eagle River in the Minocqua & Lake Tomahawk area.  Rode 70 miles & the conditions were all over the place.  Sections of GOOD, FAIR, POOR & YIKES.  Started our ride at 21 degrees.  Returned at 37 degrees.  Jackets unzipped.  Shield open. Considering taking off my gloves.  THANKS TO MINOCQUA FOREST RIDERS, NEW TOM SNO FLEAS as while thin it was 90% smooth.  Shout out to NORTHERN HORNSHOES for hosting a club ride!

Please stay on the trails to keep them trails open. 

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels.  Surface slush on both lakes. Watch for ice fishing holes on both lakes. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

Riding again today.  Wonder what adventure awaits.  Let you know tomorrow!

Ride it while we got it.  SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!
