Area Report:

February 13 – 7:20am Currently 13 below – High of 1 above today

Trails remain in VERY GOOD to GOOD Condition
GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours
Chance of late morning SNOW

Groomers in Eagle River were out again ALL TRAILS were groomed except 1N that runs from the Eagle Lake Boat launch north to trail 17N & 1S aka grampa graham trail which is located off of 10E at West Carpenter Lake Rd

Best way to learn the trails is to buy a Sno-Eagles trail map. It also had the entire Vilas county trails on the backside. Plus download the GTS trails app It is available at the App Store.

The trails are in good shape. Continued grooming has kept them chop & mogul free. Hard frozen base of 3 inches+- with loose SNOW on top. Did not ride yesterday but on Thursday afternoon found GOOD to VERY GOOD conditions everywhere. Trail10/13N heading out of Eagle River is the best I’ve seen in a couple of years. The section that crosses over the Wisconsin River Bridge is in great shape all the way to the intersection of 13N & 10W. A little ice in the couple of corners coming off Deep Lake Rd section of 10/13N. 13N heading toward Bauer’s Dam is VERY GOOD. Heading west on 10W/7 toward Sayner is also VERY GOOD. 17N that connects to Phelps trails does have a few icy corners but is GOOD. Heading through town is in great shape. Alt 13S to Three Lakes is VERY GOOD to GOOD with a few icy corners. 10E was groomed last night & is VERY GOOD to GOOD.

If you do riding it’s another cold morning so here are some cold weather riding tips:

Extra layers of clothing
Gloves/mittens with long lasting hand warmers or try a pair of battery heated gloves. Gauntlets over handle bars good too
Cold weather boots with layered socks. Boot warmers are good too
Fully charged phone stored in the inside pocket of your jacket
Heated shields are great other wise remember to breath through your nose to prevent fogging
Stop more frequently & drink water. Cold can cause dehydration
Tell someone where you are riding & download the MapItVilasCo app. It gps’s your location & the location of the TIN(trail identification numbers)

Please stay on the trails to keep the trails open.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. Both are bumpy so might want to slow down. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

TIME TO RIDE IF YOU ARE HARDY!
