Hello Riders!

Not much new to report other than it was a great weekend! Very cold but snowmobilers are hardy and ready for the challenge! The trails are great! We have good snow and groomers have been out daily! We will have another great weekend of riding!!

Please remember trail 5, the north end near Phipps Fire Lane and trail 21 north of Lost Land Lake has some logging and plowed roads so please ride with caution. Trail 18 on the Flowage in front of R & R is still closed and not safe.

Thank you to the amazing groomers and have a great week of riding!

Very little change in trail conditions due to the current very cold weather. There is a very hard base of 3+ inches with loose SNOW on top. Next best bets for SNOW is next week. No totals yet. It’s the end of February & the day time temperatures will pop up which should bring on the SNOW. With the end of February into March comes that evil sun that stays out long. So trail conditions will change & soften up. Stay tuned. Get out & ride.

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.

SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!

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.

Very little change in trail conditions due to the very cold weather. There is a very hard base of 3+ inches with loose SNOW on top. No new SNOW. With the hard base there are some icy sharp corners so again slow down. Trails that have a heavy pine tree covering have thinner SNOW & some pale snirt. The SNOW does not get down through the big pines as well. With nightly grooming trails are in good shape.

The arctic cold looks to end today. So if you are riding this 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.

TIME TO RIDE IF YOU ARE HARDY!
