Trail report for March 6, 2019– Trails are very good. It is currently about 20 Deg below zero again. Brrrrr! With this very cold weather at night and the low amount of traffic during the mid-week the trails are staying nice and flat. Thanks to our groomer crew for that! There may be a light snow later this afternoon with highs in the teens. That should make for some good riding. Always use cation and watch out for other riders on the trail. A warm up is expected the next few days with highs in the 20s and 30s. We are expecting a significant snow storm this weekend and could be a very wet snow. We will have to wait to see how much snow we will get. Groomers can be out at any time of the day or night. Please use caution. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.

Well another day in the SNOW paradise! Just amazing riding! 13 below today with a high of 17. Cloudy to Sunny today. Temps will be coming up during the day. Next 2 day single digits at night. After that teens to low 20’s. SNOW potential moving in on Saturday night. With the forecast showing 5-8 inches of very wet heavy SNOW. A bit more Sunday morning. Stay tuned.
As for trail conditions. Trails are filled with plenty of SNOW. With the sun out during the day & cold nights there will be some SNOW that gets crusty. But SNOW is very deep. With that in mind off trail riding is never recommended & with this deep SNOW doubly so. Corners are in many sections are piled high with loose SNOW. There is still SNOW on the trail with no blow outs. Icy conditions on some sections of the road trails. All in all it’s really GOOD to VERY GOOD riding out there. If you are riding sure you noticed that Trail 17N is sitting very high up. Same with sections of 10E. Please read the important updates for more info.
Grooming again last night groomed nearly the entire system. The gts.groomertrackingsystem reports the following trails groomed:
Here are other important updates:
There is 1 logging operations going on where there is a need to use parts of the trails. Trail 13N by Deep Lake Rd. Plus utility work on 7 near Sugar Camp on the high line.
The snowbanks at driveway crossing & road crossings are still high. Road crews are still out winging road banks. Expect some blocked road & driveway crossings. Please stop & cross with caution.
Still seeing some signs buried in the deep SNOW.
EAGLE LAKE TRAIL & CATFISH LAKE TRAIL ARE MARKED & OPEN. Lakes are drifted & lots & lots of slush under the SNOW especially on Catfish Lake. Drifting on Eagle Lake is much worse than on Catfish Lake.
The 2 one-way trail areas are 10E from the ERRA Sports Arena all the way out to Nicolet Mini Mart. The other is the 13’s up near Buckatabon Bridge & Bauer’s Dam area. Please be aware that for now signs will be buried in many locations. PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK A MAP SO YOU KNOW THE LOCATION OF THESE TRAILS.
See ya on the trails. Get out & ride it is great out there!

Cross Country Cruisers Trail Report 3-5-19
Another great weekend of riding here in Cruisers Country.
We talked with many riders over the weekend and all pretty much had the same comments. Wow! I haven’t seen this much snow here for years and the trails are awesome.
Again it was so fun seeing all the riders enjoying the trails and patronizing our area businesses and sponsors!
I will again refrain from reporting on individual trails and say all Cross Country Cruisers trails are good to excellent. We do have some logging operations starting on Corridor 10 and trail 51 just north of intersection 305 just after you cross Hwy 51 N.
The trail is marked with trucks hauling signs so please use caution and stay to the right in this area and please respect the loggers.
The trail still has plenty of snow on it and is groomed, let`s all work together here and be safe!
We are expecting single digit temperatures for the early part of the week and low traffic so it should be some great riding!
Use some extra caution at the road crossings especially in town for the higher snow banks can block some visibility.
It has been a great season and the riding days are counting down so get out and ride and enjoy some of the best riding conditions in many years!
