Caution Area
17S from 17/7aka Paintball Field intersection to the Sugar Camp connect. This area is improving as Club has been packing snow into the wet mushy areas to firm up. Several rough & mushy sections. Was groomed in last 24 hours.
Section of 10/13 from Hwy G to Adams Rd – this area had water & mushy/muddy areas. The Club is also working on this area packing snow in to firm up. Rough sections. Was groomed in last 24 hours.
Wisconsin River Bridge aka 10W/13N – frozen but very icy under snow. No regular grooming from the eastside trail & across bridge due to conditions so expect rough & potential for soft spots. West side section of trail much on Deep Lk Rd was recently groomed but is pretty rough.
Catfish & Eagle Lake Trails are NOT MARKED. Please stay off. A group is checking periodically for ice depth & slush. Stay tuned.
THINKING COLD & DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
