Another day in paradise. Cold temps & low sun. Trails overall are in really good shape & SNOW covered. Heading north & east is where you’ll find the best SNOW. There are some icy corners so slow down. Last please don’t ride off trail. When you leave the trail you’re trespassing. It’s also dangerous. There can be “stuff” hidden under the SNOW or a wet swamp section. There was about 1/2 inch SNOW yesterday. Next SNOW Wednesday night into Thursday morning. No good reports on totals yet. In between teens during the day & single digits or below zero at night.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows nearly all trails groomed in Eagle River last night. Here are the trails NOT groomed overnight
Trail 10W/13N – Section called Wisconsin River Bridge that heads west. This includes 10W heading to Sayner & 13N heading north toward Bauer’s Dam.
Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. There have been several sleds going into the water this winter. ALL were not where near a trail.
Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions. Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com
Short report today. Time to ride!!!
Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! Never enough SNOW!

1/27-30 – Women on Snow – Eagle Waters Resort – Rangeline Rd off Hwy 70E
I ran with groomer Dean last night.17 North is good yet, but thin after the first bridge and then drops off as you get closer to the open area in the marsh. Sleds are running off grade to the east, and although bumpy, no visual evidence of sinking in. Trail 5 into the casino is good to very good. 17 south from H to Stearns Lake Road is good but showing wear. Trail 1 Stearns Lake Road to East Boundary has adequate snow to cool and lubricate. 17 from Stearns Lake Road to Woodruff is good to thin in spots, especially around the bridge and then gets thinner closer to town. F trail is good, but after it switches to road at Gunlock, scrounging snow gets hard.Lakes are good, and Fence trail is open again. There are ice bumps in the middle, and the slush area off the boat launch is frozen leaving ruts where the sleds dug in. I have not run it since we got the couple inches of snow, and the wind. There were riders that destroyed a considerable section of new landscaping in a landowners yard on the Pokegama Lake shore trail. It was intentional, malicious, and will cost a lot to repair. Clubs and trails cannot survive without our landowners. We work hard to build and maintain relationships with these generous people, and a couple of weenees destroy it all in minutes. That’s all I have to say about that. Mark

The past few days has dumped over a foot of snow on Keweenaw and Houghton County. All the snowmobile clubs have been on top of grooming and the trails show it. Most trails are good to excellent shape and said to be fast and flat. I can say trails 3 from Houghton to Toivola hasn’t looked this good in years due to perfect snow and weather condition. Temps for the next week will be below average with snow in the forecast almost every day. So come on up and enjoy the western UP’s trails.
All trails are open except Trail 3 from Lake Linden to Dollar, the Frieda Loop, and trail 109 south out of Twin Lakes.
Don’t forget the Masters Racing Circuit is holding the Winternationals Hillclimbs in South Range is coming up February 5th & 6th. Also I’ll be there with a groomer for those who would like to see what we use to give you that perfect ribbon.
The Three Lakes Brule River Trails system is in excellent condition. The cold weather has helped to preserve our trails. A few icy corners might be encountered. We are on a regular grooming schedule. All of our system is currently open and in very good condition. Lakes are now marked. Stay close to the barrels for safe ice. Please stay on the trail and between the markers. Please remember to drop a few dollars in our donation boxes at your favorite trail stop. Every little bit helps.

Eagle River & all of Vilas county the land of wild temp changes! It was anywhere from 17 to 27 below yesterday morning. Today 13-15 above zero & SNOW! Fine wet SNOW that looks like about 2 inches but because it’s wet new SNOW it’s compressing. My phone tells me SNOW ending in 25 minutes so let’s see if it’s right.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows no grooming overnight in Eagle River last night
Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. With wet SNOW there is a chance of slush pockets on the lakes. Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN at this time.
Trails overall are in really good shape. Lots of traffic & groups riding. Great to see them heading east on Trail 10E one way & heading back toward Eagle River on Trail 10E one way heading west. Lucky to live where the trail crosses my driveway. Hop on the sled & a way we go. With the heavy traffic trails will be ready for a Saturday night grooming. Remember Ride Right….Ride Safe. That means in the corners too.
