 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.

Daytime warming up.  20’s during the day. Single digits above zero.  This should last for the next week.

As for SNOW schiff of SNOW Sunday. Then no new SNOW til Thursday into Friday of next week.  Looks to be a couple of inches.  Superior is still open so hoping for some Lake Effect.

There is plenty of SNOW but we could use some fresh stuff.  Icy in spots. Didn’t find any real ice or bare spots.  Ice base is holding.

    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  

Pond Hockey this weekend.  Traffic east might be heavier.
See ya on trails!
