Very Good to Excellent
 Frozen Icy Base – Hard SNOW Cover – Fresh SNOW needed
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

Starting Saturday the temps will be in the 20’s during the day for a week.  At night down in the single digits or 10-12 degrees at night.  Great riding weather. Traffic should pick up this week.

Trails could use some fresh SNOW which seems to be in short supply over the next week. A little Sunday night, Tuesday night into Wednesday night.  Does not look like much so time for a SNOW DANCE

GTS – Groomer Tracking System reports a 1/2 grooming session late yesterday, last night into this early morning:

         Head north from the groomer barn behind Circle K gas station Trail 10/13 up Adams Rd to the turn through the frozen swamp area.

         Trail 17/3 east & north to where is connects with 10/13 mid way between Eagle River & Conover

          From the 17/3 reconnect with 10/13, north on 10/13 to the left onto the Wisconsin River Bridge area heading west. Crossing the bridge.

          After crossing bridge heading west on 10/7 to the St. Germain/Sayner connect. 

Trail Updates

     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       

     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

Have been a few changes to the 2025-2026 Sno-Eagles map.  Right click on photo to enlarge

                                                                         

Going out to ride some longer miles this week & will have a more detailed report. Expecting heavier traffic this weekend. 

See ya on trails!
