EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Late Season Riding – All Conditions
Snow overnight which looks to be ending & starting back up at 11am. East of Eagle River 3-4 inches wet packy snow. Forecast says 4 more inches. Good grooming snow! Temps tonight in low teens. 20’s during day til Wednesday. Precip Wednesday. Not clear what kind yet. Stay tuned.
Late Season Riding in Eagle River on the Sno-Eagles trails. Rode east trails & into Eagle River. ALL conditions 
when riding. Taylor Lk & Pine Ln have ice & snow cover on the edges. It is worth riding especially heading into the woods trails. Those trails are still in Good to Very Good shape. Woods section on Trail 13N, 10E, 17N are still a good bet. Photo on left is woods section of 10E last night’s grooming. New snow will help open areas & trails that are along the north side of east/west roads. Those require a bit of Adventure Sledding! When riding can tell it’s mushy under the new snow. Water at many of the crossing as you get to the northern part of the trails that are in town. Northwest on 10W/13N after crossing Wisconsin River Bridge is still tight. Water/mushy in places, but safe. Typical late season riding.
Grooming resumed last night. Combination of rolling, panning and grooming. Groomed north from the groomer barn on 10W/13N all the way to Conover connect & then crossing Wisconsin River Bridge. Groomed all 10W trails to include the club trail that run south to Hwy G. Reminder that Trail 13Nc is closed. Rest of 13N groomed.
With the number of accidents & fatalities this season will keep reminding you:
When you come upon a group of sleds in front of you on the trail. Passing them can get you in trouble. Have been seeing this all winter. When an entire group passes, by the time the last sled passes, a sled could be coming from the other direction.
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!
Please ride on the right side, slow down, limit alcohol & no off trail riding.
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are still marked. With the sun there is heavy surface slush on the SNOW. If a lake is not marked it probably is not safe.
Take the snowmobiliers pledge to protect snowmobiling access for today’s and future snowmobiliers.
Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!! And THINK COLD!
Adventure Sledding Season! It’s not over. See ya on the trails!
