EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
All Conditions
Eagle River and all of Vilas county under a Winter Weather Advisory until Saturday morning. Southeast Vilas county that includes Eagle River is forecast to receive 4-6 inches new SNOW.
It’s late season trails, conditions change fast. For the most part trails are Very Good on average. Really Very Good condition, even Excellent in the woods. Exception is north side trails along roads & through town. Snow covered in town but soft & mushy. Evil sun is out longer breaking down snow. Roads have cover along the edges. Riding for me has been 10 one ways. Heading to town which is west on north side has burn throughs especially under the big pines. Heading back on south side heading east is Very Good except the 70E bridge crossing.
With the potential of sleet & warmer temps as the SNOW system moves in grooming has been halted. Will resume when the conditions permit. Stay tuned.
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.
Barrels have been removed from Eagle Lake. Barrels remain on Catfish Lake trail. Stay by the barrels on Catfish to be safe. If a lake is not marked it probably is not safe.
