All Conditions
 Woods undercover is best riding
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.

Yes still in the warm up for a few more days.  Weather forecast temps dropping Wednesday with SNOW/Sleet in the forecast Tuesday night turning into SNOW Wednesday AM thru Friday morning.  No hard totals at this point.  SNOW DANCE!!!

Trail conditions all over the place.  Woods riding still the best bet.  Trail on the North or West side of the road are breaking down quicker because of the evil sun being out.  

Sno-Eagles groomers is experiencing an issue with GTS grooming reporting.  So be aware that if you are using the APP to know what was groomed it may/will not be accurate.

 
Many Clubs are heading out to pan the trails to work on rebuilding the ice base.
 
************************************
  • Daily Reminders:   
    Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed.  The Club is working on a reroute.
  • Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail.  There are mogul drifts along the barrels so recommend slowing down. Lots of SNOW mist so leave space between you & rider in front. With sun expect surface slush STAY BY THE BARRELS TO BE SAFE

           Catfish Lake trail is NOT marked this season as there are no businesses open on the lake.  DO NOT 
           ATTEMPT TO CROSS at NIGHT as there are areas that open up.
