Trails are in Great shape. It is amazing what a little cold weather will do to keep the trails in excellent condition–even on the weekends. Trail 6 west of Land O Lakes is a beautiful winter wonderland. The trail to Bent’s and the trail to Sunrise are in the best shape in years. Thank You groomers! I know the Gateway lodge and Thunder Bay Resort had an opening for this weekend—call quick as Land O is the place to be for winter fun.

We have a newly plowed parking area at the beginning of Trail #8 under the International Bridge, which now has an all-season porta-john.
If you are staying in the Sault, please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all the towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!
Remember, trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below, not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less than an inch on the trail.

Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: Very hard base of varying depth – Plenty of loose snow on top
Date of Report: February 6, 2018
Area Report:
Another cold morning in Eagle River this morning. 12 below zero at 7:35am High of 8. Sun will be out all today. With cold temps shouldn’t do much harm to the trails. Trails are great. Have changed the Trail conditions around a bit to GOOD to FAIR. There is way more GOOD than FAIR out there. Time to get out and ride!
Trails are very icy under the SNOW. With the amount of loose SNOW on top you will notice the back end of your sled slipping around. So slow down to be safe. Corners everywhere are icy. Some covered with SNOW. Others blown out with high berms so slow down so you can stay on your side. Stay on the right side always.
The Groomer Drivers out again last night. Tracking system shows the following trails groomed:
The sled traffic has slowed down a bit over the past weekend’s heavy traffic. Still many families. Noticed many rental sleds out on the trail too. Many of them 2-up’s. Enjoying a first taste of riding in Eagle River, THE SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD® Not many places you can go where you can park your tow vehicle. Hop on your sled going everywhere you want without having to use that tow vehicle for your entire stay! Mid-week riding is the best. Come on up & try it!
Here are a few continuing reminders on the trails:
Yes the Ice Castle is still up! If you are riding zip on over to the “grade” to check out the 2018 Eagle River Area Fire Department ICE CASTLE!!!! Located adjacent to the downtown “grade” trail by the Historic Railroad Grade. The lights installed change colors. Ice benches as part of the Castle let you take photos of your group. Check out this link Eagle River Ice Castle to check out a video of the Ice Castle building. Warm did do damage to the turrets of the Castle. Good the cold is back.
Next on the Winter events schedule is the 13th Annual LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey set for this weekend, February 9-11 on Dollar Lake east of Eagle River. You can ride there by sled. Take Trail 10E to a left onto Chanticleer Trail at Hwy 70E Road House. Check out the is link LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey for info.
Keep Dancin’!
