EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Trails Good to Very Good but icy
While all the trails in Sno-Eagles Country, Eagle River are on average Good to Very Good the are slippery. They 
are ice based & SNOW covered making them slippery or “fast”. The SNOW we got is drier & not sticking to the ice. A ton of traffic on the trails yesterday with many large groups of sleds. So by late afternoon there were “blown out” corners that were hard ice. When riding it is really important to RIDE RIGHT & SLOW DOWN.
Rode 82 miles yesterday. Heading out on 10E one way going west to town. Right onto 10W/13N,”the grade” into town. Met friends & headed north taking 10W/13N to the connect with Conover trail 3N. 3N to Trail 12. Took Trail 12 heading east to Trail 12A to North Twin in Phelps. Crossed North Twin to Trail 6E. Took Phelps 6E to Three Lakes Trail 6E connect. Trail 6E to Trail 10W & home. Well ridden trails with Good to Very Good condition with some very rough moguled areas. Lots of squirrelly slippery sections. That improved in the Three Lakes trails
Nearly all trails were groomed last night into this morning.
The only trails that were not groomed are Trail 17N. This trail runs from the intersection with 10W/13N heading northeast. It intersects with 3N aka Manske Swamp which also was not groom. As 17N continues northeast it connect to Trail 1 that heads to Eagle Lake. Trail 1 was also not groomed.
Remember as you ride & meet a groomer the equipment is NOT able to leave the trail due to it’s weight. Pull over & stop. Wait for direction from the driver. Give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are still marked. SNOW is moguled in sections so SLOW DOWN.
