EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Poor to Good
If you rode yesterday & riders did there was every condition out there possible. We did not ride yesterday as we were getting ready for a cross country ride to Mercer, WI this morning. Going to be a real adventure. Will post some of the adventure ride tomorrow with my report.
A friend did ride & he sent me a report. Yesterday morning rode to Conover on 10W/13N out of town. At connect to took 13N to Conover & reported great The Conover one way is closed for the season & gated. That’s up near Bauers Dam. He headed to Sayner on 10W/7. In the AM trails were holding up ok. Sun & temps were burning through some in open areas. Soft snow. 10/13 in town trail bad. Slush & burn through. Did not ride west on trail 70W or south on Trail Alt 13S. In & out of town is hard as road are bare for the most part. Woods riding should still be ok. Freezing over night is causing very very icy in the AM & late at night. Please if you are venturing out SLOW DOWN & use extreme caution & RIDE RIGHT.
As for grooming, the Groomer Tracking Systems shows
East trails – 10E to Three Lakes connect to include 9Mile trail. Other spurs NOT groomed
North trails – 10W/13N from groomer barn to Conover connect. 17N to Trail 1 intersection. 3N aka Manske swamp.
Northwest trails – Wisconsin River Bridge section of 10/W/13N. The 2 way of the 13 trails heading north to Bauer’s Dam. 10W/7 trails west except the Uncle Kent trail that takes you to Hwy G
South trails – Alt 13S to Three Lakes connect.
Not sure where the season is headed. Snow in the forecast but going need a lot to help. Good it’s cold at night. START DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!!
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are marked. Please stay by the orange reflective barrels. Surface is very hard still with moguls. With the warm up surface slush. SLOW DOWN. Remember not all lakes are safe.
Again, off trail riding is a big problem. PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL & Take the Snowmobilers Pledge.
THINK COLD!!! Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!
See ya on the trails if you are ridin’, today!
